I searched through my collection for items to add to the mill. I ran across this vintage Lundby piece I picked up a few years ago. (Note: this might actually be a Lisa of Denmark piece.)
Being a slightly smaller scale, it has never worked well in any build to date. The mill, however, provides a perfect spot for it.
Its hinge pins show on the top surface, but I can cover that well enough with a runner.
I bought this pale yellow metal wash stand from The Dolls House Emporium some time ago mainly because I liked the shape and color (looks like they don’t have it anymore). It didn’t come with a bowl, but I didn’t have a home in mind for it anyway so it went into storage.
I’ll be using this for the upper room of the mill and needed to find a bowl. The small shelf in the back and the size of the hole limited what would fit. The ceramic bowls I had were either too small around and fell through the hole or were too tall and wouldn’t fit under the shelf. Debora said she had the Chrysnbon chamber set and would send me the bowl and pitcher. They are plastic but very well detailed. They also were a perfect fit.
I sprayed them with white gloss spray paint followed by several coats of gloss sealer.
They look fairly convincing as porcelain if you don’t look inside the pitcher to see the mold lines.
Thank you, Debora, for helping Gustav stay clean and fresh! :D
I also received the model ship single sheave blocks I had ordered from the UK from Maritime Models. Yep, they actually work. These will be perfect for my dumbwaiter pulley system. So wee.
At the 3 Blind Mice show, they always have a tray of inexpensive little items to choose from with your entry fee. I thought this was perfect for Gustav. Always so much to do!
Ever feel like you’re being watched? hmm
