While the Cat’s Away Day 4: Miniature Cookware & Teapots!
Filed under Cat's Away... 2015, Giveaways, Miniatures, Newsletters, Nichola Battilana, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
It’s day FOUR of this week of While the Cat’s Away Giveaways!
And today’s theme is Miniature Cookware & Teapots!
I’m taking this chance to catch up on some 1:12 miniature kitchen things that somehow did not make it on the site this fall (which includes some adorable teapots)!
And I’m also taking this chance to catch up on showing you a beautiful assemblage that Nichola Battilana made recently (also with a tea theme): Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop!
That Nichola! She is a wonder… just look at the beautiful PINK brick building she made from the Storefront Room Box (and the Brick Wall Chipboard Texture Sheet). Along with all the other lovely details (like the windows themselves, and all the lovely tea items seen though the windows)… don’t you just want to go there and have a cup of tea?
I’ve shown a work-in-progress photo at left so you can visualize a bit easier how the Storefront Room Box was turned into the finished tea shop (before the addition of an awning and before the trims, dishes, furniture and florals were added).
Nichola used textures sheets, the room box itself, and bajillions of miniatures… see her blog post for more info and links to all of those items.
Now, back to these poor forgotten kitchen props! First there are tea kettles (3 colors), then big sets of cookware (that also include tea kettles… different designs than the single ones… and I might add: these cookware sets are a steal)
Next up, not exactly what you’d find at Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop, but SOOO CUTE! 4 more designs in the “fruits and veg made into teapots” line (like the Orange Pumpkin Teapot announced before Halloween) that would be perfect for a fairy tea party:
– Carrot Teapot
– Japanese Eggplant Teapot
– Red Apple Teapot
– Green Pumpkin Teapot (shown at left)
See below for more photos.
And in honor of the today’s theme, ALL Vintage Sewing & Cooking Collage Sheets are On Sale at 33% off today! See the Giveaway below for some highlights.
And before I forget: The winner of yesterday’s Tiny Cakes & Cookies Giveaway is Susan Browning! Check your email for info about your prize package!

Oh you’re giving away the ones that I most want for the fairly house I am making! I am just in the gathering the materials stage so far. It is going to be a semi-modernized medieval with a big fireplace with an oven where she cooks. That much I have decided so far.
