“where little things matter”
welcome
Summer’s drawing to a
close and the evenings are
getting longer. That’s good
news as it means you can
get back into full mini-making mode again
without feeling slightly guilty you should
be outdoors.
It also signals that shows are thankfully
starting to return with the major events
like Miniatura and Kensington Dollshouse
Festival both up and running.
If you can’t make either don’t worry. Put
your feet up with a cup of coffee and enjoy
this issue as we take you on a tour of some
wonderful houses and roomboxes.
I’m sure you’ll be captivated by the
magical Peter Pan nursery which proved
to be a real family affair. There’s a house
with 56 teapots hidden away, a fabulous
sparkling jewellery store and a slightly
more rustic shop built in an old orange
crate. We’ve got so many rooms in so
many different styles to show you.
Some amazing makers too, with some
fascinating stories. Agnes Horvath found a
mini cake-making tutorial on You Tube by
accident and was whisked right in. “I can’t
explain the feeling when you hold that first
piece of mini food in your hand,” she said.
“It’s like you got an entry into a tiny, secret
world. I knew from the first second that I
wanted to make more.”
Timea Vajonne discovered the hobby
when she came across a twelfth scale
display on a day trip in West Sussex and
admits to being “mesmerised by this min-
iature world”. She now sells her characters
to miniaturists around the world.
We’ve got lots of mini makes for you
this issue too, plus some William Morris
wallpaper and Beatrix Potter covers to cut
out. And if you want to indulge in a last
sunshine project then try your hand at the
welly planters. They’ll remind you of sum-
mer all winter long.

AROUND THE ROOM
Karen Bond’s house is still
a work in progress but she
has let us into the finished
nursery which is based on
one of her favourite
childhood books
BY SANDRA HARDING
W
hen I am chatting to doll’s
house owners about their
projects I often ask if this
was all their own work, and often it is.
However, this adorable Peter Pan nurs-
ery not only involved the owner, Karen
Bond, but almost her entire family.
I was very interested to learn that
this is, in fact, just one room from a
large doll’s house bought for Karen’s
fiftieth birthday. Inside there is a mas-
querade ball going on in the ballroom,
and I really hope to show you more of
this later if I ask nicely. In fact, I am told
that several of the rooms depict scenes
from Karen’s favourite childhood
books, and now I am really intrigued
and want to show you them all.
Before I get too excited and ahead
of myself, let’s get back to this room.
Karen admits that her hands aren’t
too steady, so daughter Charlotte
