I am still not finished working on it but as I will soon have to pack it up ready for our move back to Scotland I wanted to share what I have done so far..The whole store is now a Nursery store..and I love how it is working out..

My window display ..

I wanted a a really nice display counter for the main shop so I made up this..

Miss Torbett greets her first customer..The little boxed bootees I received from my RAK friend here at DCC have pride of place on the counter..


This changing table was a wash stand I had..I painted it white and added a padded mat and ribbons..


Upstairs..

Full view of my store..

I still have more little outfits to knit..and more boxes to make for display..add shelves to the walls and little bits and bobs to find..But I am happy with how my store is coming along..
Hope you enjoy the pics.. :x2: :bearluv:

thats great hun youve done really well

Wahayy now that's mind kind of shop.I'd like some of those things in real size too

Oh it's wonderful Avril!!!!!!!!
You're so clever!!

I think the Baby Box is absolutely fantastic, and combines perfectly the passions of babies and miniatures I'd love to do a similar shop one day, thankyou so much for sharing it with us

WOW, Avril, my dear friend - I am in total awe with this Baby Box - I looooove it!!!! Beautiful and stunning work that you have done, I must say, I could spend hours and hours looking at all your little details that are so real - it is like a real exciting shop to enter or rather look into, as unfortunately I cannot enter into it, he-he!!!! It really is amazing, wow!!!!

I would love to know - where did and do you find your dolls, they are sooo special all of your dolls, I love them - they are sooo true to the time that they are to illustrate?

Thank you..Abi....Liz..Julie & Kathryn & Karen..

Karen..I buy the dolls from ebay mostly and redress and wig them to how I want them to look..

Avrilm

Thanks for your info, my dear friend, you are soooo talented and great!!!!

I'm speechless and that takes a lot of doing, I love the baby box, and as Liz said I also would like it for real too,

Hi Avril, Julie again!! I love the dolls prams , did you get those off ebay too?
I have a dolls house in the making and would love to get one similar.

I would love to know how you made the counter and back piece with the tiny rails. Your shop is amazing I love it. and you got a pregnant lady to, wow.

Hi Veronica,
The counter back piece is 2 shelf units with a piece of Balsa wood cut into the shape I wanted and long enough to join the units together..Kebab skewers make great rails for hanging my knitting from..and a mirror set in the middle ..I also papered the inside of the shelves with the same paper I have on the walls so they blend in better..the counter was a light wood one which I repainted white and stuck baby decals on to it..the balloons and baby stickers I got from baby cards and scrapbooking items I had in my stock box..Hope this helps..

The customer inside the store is pregnant..and the lady in the white smock outside the shop is also pregnant..with fimo shaped baby bumps...

Hugs

Avril - there is only one word for it "PERFECT" - I just love everything in this shop and the pregnant ladies is just the icing on the cake - thank you so much for showing us - I just love looking at everyone's miniatures.

Love Sue

Avril it is outstanding. I love the counter. The highchair with peter rabbit is just so cute. It is all amazing. Well done you are an inspiration. I am working now on a shop I have had for ages. I cannot afford much to put in it but it is to be a fortune tellers. I really need to make things for it and that is why you are so inspiring.
love ruth

Avril, its absolutley totally brilliant, I love it, its stunning
