miniature shop

I made this a few years ago but have only just unpacked it and set it up. it is a copy of my mum and dads greengrocers that they had for many years in nottingham.

OMG! WOW!
That's fabulous Dawn. Did you make EVERYTHING?

Oh Dawn this is simply DELICIOUS!!! I love all the detail in it, most especially the boxes of fruit and vegs. So lovely it is!

wow indeed! It's fabulous!

I'd love to see this IRL, we had a lady with doll's houses at WI recently and she had similar things, boy the work that will have gone into this, it is fabulous. So much better as it is a copy of a special place to your family too, bravo!
I'm glad you've got it on display now.

This is fantastic, Dawn: my friend in Wales would love to see it as she is into dolls houses. I think she made a shop as a gift for a friend of hers. I love the barrow with the sack of spuds on it! Are all your fruit and veg made with Fimo or similar? Have you done anything else like it?

Lynda

Clever you! The detail is great. Love all those little veggies and fruits.

This is really great, what a lot of work you have put into it.

What a lot of work and so much detail Dawn, it's great.
Must show this to Malcolm, he worked for many years in greengrocery and his Mum had a florist shop in her younger days.

oh yippee i have heard about this so often and never seen it . would also love to see the gp surgery one you did for the gp who retired .

its fab

Thank you for all your lovely comments.
Most of the things are handmade cos I wanted it to look as near as possible to the real thing.
Lynda all the fruit and veg are made from fimo.
My dad was the one who first got me interested in dolls houses so I wanted to make this for him unfortunately he didn't live to see it finished.
I have a dolls house too that I will photograph later and let you have a look.

Ooh - look forward to seeing that, Dawn!

This is fabulous, you could make a fortune recreating peoples shops.

OMG this is amazing! Wow some serious work and talent have gone into that.

Missed this when you put it up. This is fabulous. I had guessed the fruit and veg were
Fimo as I've made similar in the past. I once did an ATC for Nona's swaps with a veg box.

It's a fabulous achievement, and the bicycle and lamp are a lovely touch. Well done.

There was also a springer spaniel dog cocking his leg up on the boxes because we had a springer and thats what he always tried to do but when i unpacked him he was missing 3 legs and a tail so wouldn't stand up
