Collectible Miniature Tin Village

Ooooh! My parcel arrived (yes, another one).

Yay!!! It's my wee tin village. There are six wee tins (gift boxes) in a set, I got two sets. One set I have to give to Shona, though I don't want to because I want them ALL TO MYSELF...AH HA HA HAAA. She loves this kind of stuff and it is her birthday coming up.

The tins are 2-1/8 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches tall. Illustrated by Dana Kubick. (I am still on the doll house kick). I love the whimsy style. Lots of detail on these collectible miniature tin houses.

I'll be showing some close ups in future posts.

Shona's present, wrapped with newspaper and ribbon held together with rubber bands with homemade tag and gold ribbon.

I downloaded a heap of stuff to 'read later' and ran out of Broadband data ha ha. That doesn't happen very often, so that's okay. I am gearing up for Valentine's Day now - getting some collage sheets ready for papercraft. Here are some journal/writing pages available for free download, over at Craft Found - adapted from the work of Walter Crane - more info at the post. Too damn gorgeous. Its a bit messy over there at present because I was mucking about trying out colours and something got 'stuck'. Should be right soon. SelfAvenue.com continues to do well. I had goals for that site, which were reached pretty quickly. I handed over the Chief Editor role to Justine, who came on as Editor - to further develop a new idea. I have stayed on as an Editor. It is reall...
