Shelving Complete

Today I got the remainder of the shelving done for my bookstore (except for a magazine stand I plan on building).


I am really happy with the way it's coming together. The little ceramic vases were bought years ago at a pottery festival. Maybe miniatures were always in my blood! They were hand-turned on a pottery wheel. I wish I remembered the artist's name.





Look! The first customer! Too bad the store is empty. I guess he'll have to stick around for awhile! I think I'll call him Buster. (The little ceramic puppy was my grandmothers. I think it's from the 50's?)

  6. These shelvings are really very very well made. I thought the same when I saw how you made that door. You must be quite experienced ! Your work is really neat and precise :).

  7. Actually the shelves were mostly pre-made as part of the kit I bought from RGT. I just trimmed them to how I wanted them.

    Not experienced at all-lol! This is my first miniature! Thanks for the kind words though :)
