Once upon a time, Avon sold some soaps in gift box with divisions that my mind turned into the shape of a cottage with little rooms. I ordered several boxes, emptied out the soaps and went to work. I did five or six of them altogether, in quarter inch scale.
This one I called the buttercup. Yellow theme, obviously. The fittings and furniture were from those inexpensive plastic quarter inch packages.
This is the Forget-me-not. I made a few items for this one. upstairs is a herb-drying rack and table that I made. Downstairs, I used some bricks for the base of the sink, and I made some wooden beads into containers on the white table.
This has been an ongoing project for many years. I bought this candle holder at a clearance sale after Christmas one year. I put in a sub-floor and then started my journey upwards. I decided to make it into a Townhouse for a single lady.
From this front view you can see my latest addition on the lower right- it is The Alcove from the NAME 2012 project. It is made from cherry wood.
The lower right in this picture is a sunken conservatory with lots of plants and a fireplace. It is a cozy get-away for reading and visiting.
Second floor has kitchen on seft and living/dining on right. I have most of it finished, mainly needing food and dishes in the kitchen cabinets.
Top floor has bedroom and bath. These still need a lot of work.
Most of the furniture here is plaster. Some chairs are Limoge china. I will put in more details later with close-ups.

Lydia is a special character in my minis world. She is one of LadyBug Sue's creations. I was visiting Texas and got to a minis show. Lydia kept looking at me. I went away, and she kept calling to me until I went back to get her.
She is a very feisty fairy who tells me in no uncertain terms about herself.
She is THE Denture Fairy, apparently. She collects dentures (ugh) and uses them and toothcare products such as toothbrushes and denture cream, to decorate her house. The house is coming along very slowly, so Lydia goes visiting a lot.
