A Fairy Tea Booth, A Tiny Hen House, and New Miniatures!
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Katie Zoey Ho, Miniatures, Newsletters, Provence Kit, Shanna Shands
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Katie’s and Shanna’s projects that are still available on the new site.
A couple quick reminders: are you participating in the Haunted House Book Swap? If so, your artwork should be mailed to Caroline TOMORROW (October 26th). More info. Please contact Caroline if you’re running late.
After Miz Bella’s introduction to artwork by TWO Design Team Members, don’t miss some new, tiny miniature kitchen things that would be perfect for a little Fairy Tea Booth.
AND… see below in the Giveaway section for a brand new FREE Gift with all orders!
Today we have Design Team Members Katie Zoey Ho and Shanna Shands with their creations from the Provence French Country Kit and Add-On Kit.
Katie has made the whimsical Eastern Estate Fairy Tea Booth No.5 that is inspired by The Archies!
“I did this little fairy tea booth for something you could relate to The Archies’ Riverdale Carnival. The difference between them is just a few era away, happening in Eastern Estate not Riverdale High School. Just imagine them jamming in with wings and having tea.
This tea booth is one of a kind, being No. 5 for what you could imagine; the Archies band has 5 members. A floral arch over the teapot with wings and on wheels.
Well well well, on the backside all tea glitters, sugar, honey, tea ware and doily mats are sold at teaspoonful each – no more no less. A wide variety of tea glitters are available in this little red catalog. Since the rich pollen bed is overly tempting, before you could browse through the catalog you would need to wear the pair of red gloves. Should any steals happen, any spots of pollen would be easily spotted.
Free tea session happens at 5 and 2/3 in the evening. Several range of sizzling glittering teas would be served on these shimmering teacup mats. Be sure to drop by before the booth is gone for good!
Grab a cuppa tea, while you browse the supply list and then visit Katie’s blog to see Eastern Estate Fairy Tea Booth No.5 while The Archies play something sweet…
The next project is by Shanna Shands and she created a Hen House! Don’t you think this would look so cute in an Autumn vignette somewhere in your home? Shanna used the House Box Shrine Kit as the base and added ‘wallpaper’ from the French Wallpaper Collage Sheet. I love the three rooster plates from the same sheet that go across the wall, so charming. The cutest part of Shanna’s creation, are the Miniature Chickens and their Tiny Chicken Coop!
Visit Shanna’s blog to see how she painted the exterior of the Hen House and for more photos.
Hooray for the Fall French Tea Giveaway!
Most everything in today’s Giveaway is inspired by Katie’s artwork (except for the Provence Cardstock Die Cuts, which I just thought would be good extras to mix in with this group).
Here are the other 5 items (after those die-cuts), and check Katie’s supply list for photos and links:
– Provence French Country Kit – October 2015 (that by itself has a big bunch of items, including the Sweet Tea Collage Sheet shown at left)
– Teaparty Chipboard Die-Cut Set
– Faux Metal Number Plates
– Paisley Gold Sequin Mix
– Set of Miniature Books
AND, a new FREE gift! I thought some tea-themed tags were in order. And one thing led to another and this little gift sheet turned into a Marie Antoinette tea party, too! Autumn Tea Gift Tags: one of these tiny wonders is FREE for all orders, regardless of order size! If you place an all-digital order, I’ll send you this mini sheet as a pdf file.

I see a nice Pumpkin teapot I’m thinking it’s teatime so we’ll need to create a Tea Room.
I would recreate “Alice in Waterland”, an underwater mermaid show in Weeki Wachee Springs which featured a Tea Party set and Mermaid versions of Alice in Wonderland characters.
I would make a tea room with all the miniatures on a table. and a lace tablecloth and chairs. Some pictures on the wall and a shelf for books on the wall.
Definitely a tea room. I think I would like to create one in a shadow box or possibly the piece used in the Wandry Room. This is a sweet give a way!

Hi!
I would like to create a tiny fey library with the Faux Metal Number Plates
and a few sets of Miniature Books. I want to attach wings to a few of the books, affix thin wire, and make it look like the books are “flying off the shelves”.
These are too cute. I would like to try a ‘Three French Hens” French-Christmas themed tea party.
This says French Country to me. I’d love to make an altered art scene using these items.
I would make a shadowbox with a dining room setting with tea/luncheon items and miniature animals sitting at each place. Would be fun to create this setting a little like Alice and Wonderland tea setting but with animals. Love all your items!! Would hang this shadow box in my living room area. Would be a fun conversation starter!!!
A Fall French Tea scene with tea cups and roosters, number plates and books is what I see.
I am pretty sure that I would make a grand tea party for my Fairy Village that is an ongoing project!! I am always thinking of new “rooms” or scenes that is needed for the Fairies to continue to visit us! My grandchildren are all so engrossed in watching it all come together and I can’t wait for the day they are ready to design a space for the fairies!! TFS!
I would make a tea party in the French countryside!
An altered book with a cooking theme.
Would try to make an Eastern Estate Fairy Tea Booth No 10.

I would make a fairy kitchen. Thank you.
100 ideas are flying in my head…but I would put a second floor on this, making a tiny dollhouse. I’d place a piece of glass over it, copper tape it shut and solder the edges, complete with an antique Frozen Charlotte doll inside. Simply adorable!!!! If I do not win this, i’ll have to buy this, I want to play with this!!!
I love Love the hen house !!! So if i won it would have to be a tea set done with chickens and roosters because my kitchen is done in that design.
I could see a playground of forest animals all drinking tea from the many cut outs..making each animal a 3D piece and use the spoons as teeter-totters and other playground rides
I would do my own version of a fairyland tea party!:)
I’d probably make my Santa more cozy with a cup a tea after all the running around with Christmas gifts.
Don’t want to be rude but French are not tea drinkers. We love our coffee very strong.

I would create a personalized tea space for a very dear friend who loves everything to do with tea and fairies. I think it would make her the perfect Christmas gift.
I could create a miniature tea shoppe for my tiny friends. This is my cup of tea.
I am a tea fiend, so this is wonderful. I make 3″ books and domino books. These are wonderful products for decorating inside and out for a winter tea theme. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to make a costume Tea Party and actually have the farm animals, even chickens take part…perhaps give them some hats and a few eye masks…mix it up a bit…love all these lil’ mini’s. Such fun! 🙂
