Phoebe's Cottage

I have almost gotten to the end of Phoebe's Cottage.  Marie saw the " Sprinkled With Love" cottage and wanted something very similar.
I also got a new background for my pictures! Now the cottages will look like they are deep in the woods. LOL!  It's a large poster I got at Hobby Lobby.  Just the right scale for the trees too! 









I'm not sure what's going to go above the mantel just yet. I like this little frame. I'll see how Marie feels about it. 

Also the Teeny Weeny Streamside is on its way to Hawaii  for Duanna.  I tried to fit myself into that box, but it was a bit uncomfortable! LOL!







This is a 1/4" scale dollhouse. 
I better get to work on my contest entry for the Greenleaf contest. It's  still missing  roofing material. I'm not sure what I'll use. I'll share pictures with you in September.
Thanks for dropping by!
Hugs all around!

  5. Caroline, All I can say is awesome. I don't have a favorite. I like them all. I think I would like to have gone to Hawaii. So tiny. I thought I would read a while before I call it a day. Have a great weekend Hugs Your Missouri Friend

  6. Oh Caroline,
    I just love Phoebe's cottage it is so darling...........so cool your lil
    houses go all over the place. Too
    bad you wouldn't fit in the box, I really don't blame you for trying. lol
    I was stunned when I saw how small the shabby streamside cottage was, I had no idea it was that tiny....now is Phoebe's cottage that same size??

    It is amazing to me that you can make something like a house so tiny, cause it is hard working with teensy things. teeny small is bad
    enough. My hat is off to you honey. You do such marvelous work.
    So enjoy seeing all your creativity and hard but gorgeous work. Hope you are selling oodles of books too.

    Take care hon,
    Blessings, Nellie

    Phoebe's Cottage is DIVINE!! It's so magical and dreamy and the background picture really does make it feel like it's set deep in the woods. I really want to live there :)
    The tiny streamside is also gorgeous. You've managed to put so much beautiful detail into it, even though it's so tiny- Amazing!!

  18. Caroline... Both your little houses are just adorable..Love them!! And, the poster was a brillant idea. I collect fashion dolls and did a poster for them to stand in front of years ago. I love your tree poster...so realistic.
    Have a lovely Saturday.

  24. Hello
    Where is it, once again, an adorable cottage you have made. The new background you made is just amazing. I can not believe, you are able to make the cottage in such a small scala. You are a great artist.

  30. Caroline, Once again you inspire me with your truly beautiful creations. You are so talented and have found your true calling. I love all of your houses and need to try and make one of my own. I bought one of the kits from Greenleaf two years ago and it has sadly sat in a box. I am going to go and find it and make a start.

    Thank you so much for the inspiration that you instil in others, blessings, Maureen

  32. Caroline, both houses are exquisite. Love all your work. I've been M.I.A. because of my pregnancy. But I might build another dollhouse before the baby arrives. Looking forward to your wonderful creations! Your items always adds the perfect touch to my dollhouses.

  35. How sweet- I guess Sandy of My streamside studio, must be so excited to see her tiny home made into a miniature cottage by you. I have a tiny 8 x 18 foot home and someone in the miniature world wrote to me and wants to make a mini model of my home. Not near as sweet and charming as Sandra Fosters streamside studio though. You did a great job on getting the look and charm of Sandy's home to shine forth. You are quite the artist.
