An Artwork Mashup, New Miniatures & A Wizard’s Apothecary SALE
Filed under Halloween, Miniatures, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Teri Calia
Eeek! It’s October! I was thinking there haven’t been enough potion bottles (tiny ones) in this lead-up to Halloween. So I’ve picked out TWO miniature projects that use lots of bottles…
A quick note: beside putting everything in both supply lists on sale, I added a few possible substitutes to the sale, too! AND everything NEW mentioned in this newsletter has also been added to the sale collection! (More info below.)
A Wizard’s Potion-Making Table
Ooo! What a great little 1:12 scale table for a wizard’s office. The finished size is just 5-7/8″ wide x 3-1/8″ deep 2-1/4″ tall. (If that little photo below of me holding one wasn’t there, I bet you’d think Teri Calia’s artwork at right was much larger!) Note the double trestle base, and the extra wings to give the gryphons more dimension.
As Summer nears I always start thinking about Halloween because I love making creepy, spooky, magical and/or fantastical art. So, a couple of months ago, I started designing a Dragon Table that sort of morphed into the Gryphon Table you see here. The table is really easy to glue together and would be fabulous in a Medieval dungeon as well as in a modern library.
I painted my table black and dry brushed white over the top to add a bit of depth and interest.
Check out Teri’s blog post for more info and photos. Note: use my links here for the supply list as the site moved since Teri posted that artwork.
NEW Miniatures and in today’s sale, too!
Note that Mini Black Plastic Cauldron at right — so cute! It’s a wee thing (1/2″ tall without the loops) with a chunky little shape. I can imagine it in all kinds of Halloween projects (including a wizard’s table or an apothecary cabinet).
I’ve added ALL of these new items to the sale collection! See below for more info on the COUPON sale!
FREE Gift with Orders
A Bottles for Potions Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight October 4, 2023)!
These bottles are available in limited quantities (in case you’d like more of any/all). Plus they’re on clearance AND included in the sale collection! (So double savings when you use the COUPON.)
– Square Glass Bottle with Cork
– Resin Olive Oil Bottle
– Large Brown Sake Bottle
– Green Soju Bottle
– Plus 1 wine bottle (random color) from the (sold out) resin wine bottles. See the inset pic at far right.
A Wizard’s Apothecary SALE (and the 2nd art project)
Rhonda Thomas’s Don’t Go Near the Apothecary uses the Apothecary Cabinet for Smaller Bottles to great effect — just check out all of the bottles and spooky supplies!
Rhonda’s post includes lots of photos (including a drool-worthy photo of a corner of her studio) and tips on laying out all the pieces from this new cabinet. Note: use my links here for the supply list as the site moved since Rhonda posted that artwork.
“Don’t let all of these pieces intimidate you. It really is quite simple to put together. The first thing I always do is lay out all of my pieces, like a puzzle, so that I am sure I know exactly which piece goes where.”
I’ve already highlighted some items above from Teri’s supplies; here are some highlights from Rhonda’s supplies, shown below.
AND the substitutes I’ve added to the sale:
– Half Scale 2-Step Stairs (can be used on the table to display bottles, like in Teri’s project)
– 15mm Tall Glass Jar (needed a wide-mouth jar option)
AND I added the rest of the Can & Bottle Blanks to the sale collection! That’s over 20 more bottles!
Use coupon BOTTLES when checking out to get an additional 20% off on EVERYTHING in this collection! That’s 20% off beyond current sale prices! Over 70 items!
The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, October 4th at midnight PST.
Hutches & Toys! New Miniature Furniture on SALE!
Filed under Christmas, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper
Oh! Look at that array of lovely new wooden miniature furniture! Lots of shelves and cabinets to decorate… could be a toy design (like the similar hutch I picked out from Design Team Member Shannon Cooper). Or could be a classic kitchen, or maybe Christmas baking?
Note that everything new or back in stock mentioned in this newsletter has been added to the new sale collection! That includes all the cute toys from Shannon’s project, too! (More info below.)
 |
A Hutch of Vintage Toys
Shannon’s sweet vintage toy hutch inspired today’s sale… note that the wooden hutch she used is no longer available (but many of the new hutches/cabinets would work well).
I love the mix of collage sheet images, pre-made dollhouse toys, and hand-painted (cast metal) toys that Shannon mixed together (and painted)!
Here’s a bit from Shannon’s original post (and since a few of these toys have since sold out, I added the rest of the Miniature Toys to the sale collection)! That’s over 20 more toys!
I’ve been hoarding a small collection of cast metal toys from Alpha Stamps for quite some time but hadn’t gotten around to doing anything with them. Truthfully, I liked them because they are tiny and cute (and just flat out wanted them for no reason whatsoever). Then Leslie sent me a really sweet hutch where all my precious-es could be displayed, so I got to work painting them. There was plenty of room on the deep shelves to add tons of other wee toys, too.
I covered the shelves with holly scrapbook paper. The vintage games and other images (toys and vintage cards) are from collage sheets; the box of marbles on the bottom shelf is a miniature cigar box!
Painting the cast metal was fairly easy. I washed all of the pieces in dish soap and scrubbed them with a toothbrush then toweled them dry. It was nice to discover regular acrylic craft paint (in several layers) covered the metal. I only had one instance where the paint chipped off. It involved a snooping cat that, of all the toys on the table, sent Mother Goose to her demise after pawing her a bit too far. Mother Goose’s tail feathers took the brunt of the fall, so all was well, and the cat looked pleased.
Here’s Shannon’s supply list (and remember that all these supplies are in today’s sale collection — more info below)!
NEW Miniatures and in today’s sale, too!
I’ve added ALL of these new items to the sale collection! See below for more info on the COUPON sale!

City’s Superior Snake Venom Stand
Filed under Altered Tins, Halloween, Kristin Batsel
Before I show off Design Team Member Kristin Batsel’s NEW Halloween altered tin, a quick note: beside putting everything in Kristin’s supplies on sale, I added a few possible substitutes to the sale, too! AND everything new or back in stock mentioned in this newsletter has also been added to the sale collection! (More info below.)
City’s Superior Snake Venom Stand
That clever Kristin! She used the Altoids Shelf Insert – 3-5/8 Inch Wide as the shelf for her stand, but removed the whole bottom of the tin and set it (with the shelf) inside the lid (and added some wooden beads as little box feet).
Welcome to City’s Superior Snake Venom Stand, where many of your Halloween necessities can be found. There are pumpkins, skulls, and various potions. And don’t forget those green jars of snake venom!
Most of the supplies used for this tin came from Alpha Stamps: all the jars and labels, the skulls, the pumpkins, and the jack o’ lantern. Plus, that fun little shelf that fits right in the tin. I covered the entire tin with scrapbook paper, and added the shelf. It’s perfect for displaying all those spooky jars.
Great job, Kristin! By the way, I added the 3D Pumpkin with Stem and Chipboard Bats Set to the sale collection (a couple possible substitutes for items in the stand — or maybe the head of a pipe cleaner doll)! That pumpkin is also on clearance so that’s a double sale price when using the coupon! A couple more additions are noted below in the sale recap.
Read more and see more photos in Kristin’s blog post. Here’s her supply list (and remember that all these supplies are in today’s sale collection — more info below)!
NEW Halloween Goodies and in today’s sale, too!
Note that the 2 cabochon designs at right are available in 2 sizes (18mm shown for both; links for 14mm Scaredy Cat and 14mm Haunted House).
I’ve added ALL of these new items to the sale collection! See below for more info on the COUPON sale!
Back in Stock and in today’s sale, too!
Psst… 5 of these 6 items are back in limited quantities (and are part of the Gift Kit… see photo in the next section below)!
FREE Gift with Orders

– 3D Pumpkin with Stem
– 1 Inch Plastic Bones
– Resin Pumpkin Cabochon

Hallowe’en Party Shrine Artwork + New Halloween Supplies & SALE
Filed under Halloween, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper
Before I show off Design Team Member Shannon Cooper’s adorable Hallowe’en Party Shrine, a quick note: beside putting everything in Shannon’s supplies on sale, I added lots of possible substitutes to the sale, too! (More info below.)
Is that not the cutest little Halloween treats shrine ever?! Beside that tall overview photo at right, see 2 wider close-ups below. I love all the little cookies & candies Shannon made (and the decorations… so much to cover)!
Anyone else ready for a cool Autumn breeze? It has been unbearably hot here, like, if-you-go-outside-you-will-burst-into-flames unbearable, so even a temperature less than sweltering would be welcomed. Not interested in being aflame, I turned off all the lights, removed as much clothing one can before upsetting family members, and huddled over a little Hallowe’en project.
I started by covering an Arched Shrine Shadowbox with scrapbook papers. The table is made from a Set of Wooden Table Legs and a rectangle of basswood. It was stained with watered-down brown acrylic paint and a scrap of fabric was glued on top for the tablecloth.
I was happy to have a 3-Tier Cupcake Stand handy because otherwise I would’ve run out of space pretty quickly! (Actually, there’s still surface area there…darn.) All of the cookies on the stand as well as the black and white checkerboard cookies and bats and ghosts are simply slices of polymer clay canes. The white cakes were made with a Mini Bundt Cake Silicone Mold and a dash of glitter.
Great job, Shannon! By the way, I added the White 3-Tier Cupcake Stand to the sale collection (not the solid gold version Shannon used, but the same size). Just the first of 8 options added to the sale!
Read more and see more photos in Shannon’s blog post. Here’s her supply list (and remember that all these supplies are in today’s sale collection — more info below)!

NEW Halloween Goodies and in today’s sale, too!
Yes, Halloween is soon! Between our move and that evil virus, it’s past time to get some new Halloween items posted! Though not quite the style of Shannon’s artwork, I’ve added ALL 4 of these new items to the sale collection!
Hey, those Tiny Black Resin Bats at right are tiny enough that they could be cookies or trims on a similar shrine. See below for more info on the COUPON sale!
Lots of Items are Back in Stock!
Some of these are straight-up “back in stock”. Others, like the Victorian Cane Seat Chair Kit are updated, too (this is the same chair that was in a set with a table… used in that amazing Hagrid’s Hut by Nichola Battilana. More info in the blog and/or see the supply list.
FREE Gift with Orders
A Jack-o-Lantern Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight September 13, 2023)!
Starting with 1 of the Wood Jack-o-Lantern Cut-Outs (yes, the same one at the top of Shannon’s artwork, and already included in the sale, in case you’d like more than 1).
Next, I added an Antique Silver BOO Ghost Charm (kinda like the ghost at the top of the 3-tier cupcake stand). I also added these charms to the sale collection (and the related charm set that includes the same ghost).
Finally, 3 items that are not available separately: Tiny Bats Polymer Clay Halloween Slices, Glow in the Dark Moons & Stars, and a Resin Jack-o-Lantern Cab.
Hallowe’en Party Shrine SALE
I’ve already highlighted some items above from Shannon’s supplies but I picked out a few more, shown below.
AND the remainder of the substitutes I’ve added to the sale:
– Haunted House Tiny Color Halloween Stickers
– Tiny Spice Rack (sub for the wooden shelf Shannon added to the top of her “room”)

The Memory Keeper’s Room & Holiday Baking Tray
Filed under Miniature Baking, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper, Summer/Beach, Teri Calia
We have 2 beautiful projects today… related by 2 sizes of Miniature Trays with Handles! Let’s start with Teri Calia’s The Memory Keeper’s Room!
I love what Teri has made, all starting with the Petite Garden Shelves over on the right side (with the addition of Slender Cabriole Table Legs, and with all the shelves filled with treasures). The whole room grew around that shelf unit and the matching Park Bench.
This little shabby chic roombox is a tribute to all of you out there who collect vintage ephemera and photographs. I started collecting when I was a child because I spent a lot of time with my Great Grandmother, who was a collector. I still get a thrill when I find a particularly interesting old postcard or well worn love letter. The memories attached to these treasures may not be my own, but they still speak to me and inspire me to imagine a long past world so different from my own.
As you can see, the focus of this room is the tray filled with old letters, postcards and photographs. There is even a magnifying glass for closer inspection. Below the tray is an open faux book box, with more photos and ephemera, waiting patiently for perusal. A couple more faux book boxes on the shelf await their turn as well.
See below for close-ups of the tray of photos and postcards, and the tiny size faux book box.
More info in Teri’s blog and/or see her supply list.
Note: the second artwork using a larger size tray is below and both supply lists are included in today’s sale!
NEW Miniatures — inspired by both art themes
Kinda spans plants to keepsakes to tiny baking goods! I also added all 12 of the new items to the sale collection! See below for more info on the COUPON sale!
Holiday Baking Tray by Shannon Cooper
Two sizes of trays with handles… the larger one was designed as a display area for Shannon’s (adorable!) 1:12 scale baking scene. This tray is NOT 1:12 scale… more like a little area the size of a table top to place items when you don’t have the time or space to decorate a whole kitchen.
Approx. the size of an Altoids Tin (3-3/4″ x 2-1/4″).
Shannon’s little baking scene is so cute! (See the wide photo below.) I love all the little holiday trims. Plus this kind of mini scene could be done for any holiday (or maybe a birthday cake or other celebration).
Plus Shannon provides a tutorial on making the cakes and decorating them (including making an indentation for tiny gingerbread cookie before baking the polymer clay cake).
Read more in Shannon’s blog post and/or see everything from her supply list (and remember that all these supplies are in today’s sale collection — more info below)!
FREE Gift with Orders
A Collector Bits Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight May 3, 2023)!
I picked out 5 tiny things inspired by Teri’s artwork:
– Tiny Solid Bronze Star Charm
– Silver Airplane Charm (with the odd group of items on the shelves — including a teddy bear — I thought a toy airplane would fit)
– Tiny Metal Cat Silhouette (just one… there are 5 options; 2 different ones are shown at right)
– A couple of the Tiny Shank Doll Buttons
– 18mm Flat Lace Edge Setting
Bonus: I added all 5 to the sale collection below, too!
Memory Keepers SALE
I’ve already highlighted some items above from both art projects above, but I picked out even more (shown below).
Use coupon KEEPER when checking out to get an additional 20% off on EVERYTHING in this collection! That’s 20% off beyond current sale prices! 50 items including the supply lists AND all the new items announced today!
Bonus: I’ve added 5 more as substitutes for items in Teri’s artwork:

The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, May 3rd at midnight PST.
