Hutches & Toys! New Miniature Furniture on SALE!
Filed under Christmas, Miniatures, New Furniture, 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)!
