New plant stands & fancy trims; Flower Shop & planters; 25% off SALE!
Filed under Laura Carson, Miniatures, New Furniture, Streets of Paris
Two new plant stands! These are based on a fancier version (in 1:12 scale) that we used to carry (these new designs are much less expensive). Laura Carson used the fancy version in her Victorian Conservatory (see the close-up at left).
The 1 Inch Tall Wooden Flower Pots (the larger pots in that sample) are back in stock (and shown along with the Set of Miscellaneous Flower Pots and Tiny Wooden Flower Pots in the photo at right).
Both sizes of the plant stands are an oval shape (wider than they are deep), which gives extra room for potted plants on the sides, but still shallow enough for a room box. The 1:12 version of the 3-Tier Plant Stand is 5″ tall x 4″ wide (but only 2″ deep).
Eek! How cute is that half-scale version! See the photo below with a bunch of tiny planters and a watering can (in the new sale, too)!

New Tudor Rose Trims
Inspired by another project by Laura with a garden scene…
Laura Carson’s L’Amour des Fleurs is so beautiful! There’s an outside vs inside comparison at right. The flower shop is in the center of the bottom floor of Laura’s Streets of Paris shops (the chocolate shop can’t be seen in the photos, but it’s just to the right of the flower shop). The Chocolate Shop post was fifth in a series about the shops… you might want to start at the beginning.
Laura used the (back-in-stock) Mini Tudor Rose Singles above the doorway (far right, showing the inside of the shop — above the Folding Screen Fretwork Insert as a wrought iron door). I kinda ran with that Tudor Rose motif and designed a new border and a new altoids tin insert (shown below). Plus that insert would work well as a stencil (and there are some tips about making it into a stencil on the insert page).
You can read more about the L’Amour des Fleurs project and see more photos on the original post and on Laura’s site. (Note: as Laura covered making the buildings for this project in an earlier post, those items are in a separate blog post.) Plus here’s Laura’s supply list for “just” the flower shop (also included in today’s sale — more info below)!
More New Gardening Supplies
Ooh… another tin insert (lattice, at left) — good as a garden trellis, too.
Beside the close-up at right, there’s another photo of Laura’s artwork below (down in the sale section): the back-in-stock Glass Microscope Slides make perfect little shelves (with bent Symmetrical Bronze Flourishes as brackets).
More about the photo at right: the cash register was painted black, and is sitting on a plant table (also painted).
And the new vase and watering can… perfect for this miniature project (there’s even a white vase inside Laura’s shop… above the cash register though outside the crop in this photo).
