I once wandered into an estate sale by accident and bought a couple of things (one of which I use all the time in my mini work — a tiny metal ruler). But, this is the first time I’ve planned and shown up early. The woman whose home this was had been a miniaturist and needleworker, and I’m glad I could give a home to some of the things she left behind.
Some excellent tools likely from Wright Guide Miniatures and a gavel.
Book blanks that I can apply covers over, a vintage magazine and a wrapped gift.
A dragonfly punch and a tiny awl. I now have three awls. I just love ’em. :D
Terra cotta pots. It’s hard to tell the size since I forgot to add my penny, but these are small, with three of them being especially well sized for seedlings.
Tiny mice, one of which is a Hagen-Renaker.
Two tiny lidded boxes.
One is marked Made in Scotland and the other has initials that are likely Stokesay Ware.
A plastic basket that definitely fools the eye and a hat stand.
A tiny wall shelf.
Two kits — one for a trunk and one for a coat tree.
Fancy toothpicks already stained. :]
I picked up other odds and ends like plain wood, fabric and a book. I also picked up some kits for a friend and a real life sized item that you’ll see later on since it is related to Milo Valley Farm.
