I have been adding lots more links over on Tiny Treasures Mini Links Page. There are hundreds of Miniature Blogs and other useful links on there. It's getting to be quite a resource. I've had quite a few Artisans and Shops email me with their links, which I am more then happy to add.
If anyone has a link that they'd like to share, please leave a comment and I'll add it.

I'd also like to remind you all that Nikki started a blog a little while ago called Miniature Question & Answer. A mini place to ask and hopefully be answered. Nikki does one post a week and will cover a different topic each time. So if you haven't visited and want to pose a question or help answer a question, pop over and have a look.

The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter...

Well it's finally opened in Florida USA, The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter. Here's a News Report on the opening and also a blog called Mickey Ears & Magic Wands, has also written about the experience.
It sounds by the reports, that it is an amazing experience and wouldn't it be wonderful to walk the Village of Hogsmeade and browse in all the shops. See the Castle and ride the rides.
But I still think, it should have been built in the United Kingdom. Just think what it would have done for the Tourist Industry over here, and the jobs it would have created. I just can't imagine Harry Potter with a Americanised accent, it will be like Dick Van Dyke, in Mary Poppins all over again. And lets face it how many British, Harry Potter fans, will be able to afford to travel to the U.S.A?. Here's one that can't, well maybe, if I win the Lottery.

Chick, Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken...

Well it was definitely, a case of Chick, Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken lay a little egg for me this morning.
But there was nothing little about this one!!!!!.
Mick, had been in the Hen House this morning to get the Eggs, from the two little Warren's that we have. He came back indoors and said to me, "One of those Chicken's, has got really blood shot eyes". Then he laughed and opened his hands, to reveal this Giant sized egg. Poor Chook, I bet her bottom was stinging, trying to squeeze that out.
I think its got to be a double Yolk! I'll let you know when I use it.

Wondrous Wizarding Wands...

I received a parcel from Ira over at Merry Jingle Crafts.
When I opened the parcel, I found inside this little box and when I opened it and peeked inside,
what did I find?. Wondrous Wizarding Wands..
Thank you so much Ira, they are fabulous and will be taking their place in Diagon Alley. Although, I may use one of them in the Witches Hat Shop if it ever gets built. Can you guess which one..LOL

Eeylops Owl Emporium

Recently, the lovely Julia over on Bearcabin Miniatures, asked if anyone would like to do a swap. Julia was offering one of her beautiful miniature tapestries. I contacted Julia and said that I'd love to do a swap.
Julia emailed me and said she would make a special sampler, just for Eeylops Owl Emporium.
Isn't it fabulous?. If you click on the pictures, they will blow up bigger.
Thank you so much Julia, I Love it and I hope you are feeling better.. xxxxx

Thank you everyone that's emailed to see if all is well, as I've not been about much this week.
On the home front, we've had Mick's parents here since last Sunday, they left on Thursday.
Ben's been sitting his "A" levels this week, so has been revising in between.
Harry's been doing Athletics's for the School and took part in a competition in Lampeter yesterday against other School's and came 3rd. Considering he was competing with Year 10's who are the year above him, I think that was a fantastic achievement. He has also had the results to most of his end of year exams and has done really well. Congratulations and very well done Harry, we are very proud of you and all the hard work you've been doing.
The new Foals are now playing together and it is lovely to watch them, jumping about like a pair of Spring Lambs.
I'll be back later with some Miniatures that have some in the post... xxxx


I've just published 2 comments on here and they've disappeared. One was from Maria and the other from Wendie. I have no idea where they've gone and didn't want to think I hadn't published them girls. Is anyone else having trouble with moderating comments??????

It's Wicked...

Do you remember a few posts ago. Janice from over On Being A Mini Mum, shared some pictures of her
Witch E.T Grubb's Emporium and inside was a wonderful collection of dresses. Janice very kindly shared the links, from where she had purchased them from and I went and had a look, bid on, and won this dress from Cheryl Armstrong on Ebay. It came a few days ago, but what with the Foals being born, I forgot to show you all. Cheryl has some lovely miniatures, on her Ebay at the moment. I'd definitely recommend her, and will be watching to see, what other wonderful creations she lists in the future.
I teamed it up with one of Kat's Hat's for the photograph and it matches perfectly.
The name of the dress was "Wicked" and it certainly is...
