Room boxes and mini scenes
Just a recap post to make it easier to find my mini room box scenes. These are typically for holidays or humor and are not permanent structures. You can click the title links for additional details and photos.
A quiet little Christmas – 2015
The Maple Room – 2015 — a quick-change room box for photographing minis
Laundry Room / Craft Room – April 2015
A little Halloween humor – 2011
Christmas at The Newport – 2009
I also have a post on photographing minis without a roombox.

Yesterday’s post.
Roland ponders, “Hmm…what’s this?”
Sanford asks, “What’s up there?” Roland replies, “Muffins and cookies.”
Sanford warns, “Be careful. Don’t fall.”
Roland says, “Pffft. I got this!”
Sanford whispers, “Someone’s coming…hurry up!”
I swear there were more muffins and cookies. Huh.

I’m a huge fan of Halloween, the kitsch and candy and costumes. But, I’m also a fan of haunted places…places that look normal, but then you smell perfume no longer made, or feel a chill right next to the fire, or hear someone’s voice when there’s no one around. =shudder=
My Halloween scene this year is dedicated to those haunted places that make you wonder what comes after life. I’ve borrowed the bookcase, Bagnall clock, Miss Kitty (by PamelaJunksMinis), end table and coffee table from the Heritage. The sofa is part of a Bespaq set, and the rug is from Dale’s Dreams. The wallpaper is a delightfully vintage scrapbook paper by Recollections called Remember.
The same photo in sepia tone is even more haunting.
Jane of MiniFanaticus made me some delightful autumn minis, and I’ve used a few in the scene: a gourd and pumpkin…
…some fall leaves, a beautiful centerpiece…
…and candy corn. If you want a laugh, check out Lewis Black’s skit on candy corn. One of the best I’ve ever heard. :D
Ophelia rests on the afghan by Mary of Roslyn Treasures. I made the book of Edgar Allan Poe stories.
The reproduction painting is by Giovanni Boldini of Elizabeth Wharton Drexel, 1905 — borrowed from the Heritage. The burrowing owl is borrowed from Baslow Ranch.
There’s a wee mouse from Sussex Crafts, too! eeeek! He’s hoping you’ll drop a piece of candy corn. :D
Wishing you all a very Happy Halloween! :D
Does it feel chilly in here? :\

MinisModernas is running their second annual modern minis contest, and I set up a scene in The Artist’s Studio called “Midnight Snack.”
Looks like Cora is hungry, too.
The slippers are from the Heritage, and I couldn’t believe they fit! :D
The goldfish crackers are from Cindy at Snowfern Clover.
Yes, there are tiny goldfish crackers inside. Amazing!
Here’s what the kitchen looks like without the model setup.
The hotplate was made by me and is one of my favorite features of the Studio. :]
Thank you to MinisModernas for a wonderful modern minis contest! :D
