Back from NEC


I attended the Spring Miniatura at NEC in Birmingham this weekend.   Travelled down on the Saturday, fair on the Sunday and back home on the Monday.   Boy, did I have a great time!

There aren't a great many miniature fairs here in Edinburgh and when there are, they're relatively small so when the opportunity comes to visit Miniatura, I take full advantage and this is what I purchased for The Tenement.

I forgot to check with the exhibitors I purchased from if it was ok to blog their links so I haven't but if anyone wants to know who I purchased from, please ask.

With the exception of the ledgers, scrolls and shoes (did you notice there's a "left" and "right" - how cool is that?) all other items are for the Painted Chamber so hopefully I'll have an update on that to show you all soon.

  5. A lovely choice Irene, perfect for your project. Ah, LED's I love them!!
    I also like to have a good look at everything to get ideas and maybe solve a problem. I looked on a stand that had the perfect solution for my cages in the Magical Menagerie which was hugely helpful.

  9. Thank you for your nice comments everyone.

    Glenda - I actually need three pieces of the blue and white china but I didn't want to go too mad with the spending at the beginning. If I'd known I had funds left at the end, I'd have just purchased them.

    Janice - the LED lights are a new thing to me so I may be calling for help if they don't behave the way I want them to!
