A cute little mushroom. The hosta was a full-size freebie last week from a friend!
My 2nd Miniature Garden .... on a larger scale..
This cute little church is in my 11-yr-old's triangle shaped garden (that I keep up, of course!).
Adorable! Will they stay out all winter?
very nice Sue..... love the face in the rock wall... and the triangle is beautiful
ok, Suzy...you are not going to believe what I just found!!
Hot cocoa!!
They also have tea and lemonade(for your summer setting, lol...and cocoa for the wintertime :0)

Yes Seed that is where I found my pitcher/glass set for my mini "faux" concrete patio set. see att pic
But I was looking for more of the "outdoorsy" mugs of cocoa those are a little to much for just sitting around the fire outside. Would'nt want to bring the fine china outside don't ya think ? LOL
I will find what I am looking for sooner or later but thanks for looking for me !!! Thanks for being my steaming cup of cocoas mug eyes...................... what are you looking for still ?
oh, rats...ok, well I'll still be looking :0)
We used to make all kinds of stuff for our doll house - I have no idea if any of it was to scale or anything like that. But a toothpaste tube type of cap could be a mug, the artsy kind without a handle, and then you could fill it with maybe brown acrylic paint? (White for foam or whipped cream)
Back here, we go inside when it's hot cocoa weather!
Yes I would have never thought about that !! thanks carrie I guess I need to use my creative mind in other ways . For me though the miniatures that I have been buying are so cheap its not even worth doing the " craft thingy " but I guess if I don't find the mugs of cocoa I will try my hand at that. I like the button idea just adding a hanger or pop stick to make a sign out of the button.
Seed what do you need that you cannot find for your mini garden ? and I'll keep my eyes out for it...
Get some of that bakeable clay and make anything.
I have several goodies I've been saving to do this with.

;)
Oh, of course! I forgot that stuff existed. Also, you could try ToysRUs - as long as it gets to stay in a protected area, Barbie or Pollypocket stuff might be ok too. (Real miniature men drink cocoa out of pink mugs?)
Two cups of hot chocolate.

Perfecto !!! Thanks Seed
I just went out and took some more recent pics of my " tiny garden " my goodness is it filling in !!! I spent my whole birthday just doing yard work whewyyyy i am still exhausted LOL
Anyway I love the way all the plants are maturing and cascading over the sides. I just got an outhouse and some cute little deer at my local feed store. I was in getting dog food and I saw them they are just the perfect scale for our gardens.
The brand name is Schleich made in china but very, very lifelike.
I love these ornamental pommagrantes they are blooming right now !!!
very nice Suzy
One more...
I have been collecting more goodies for my next one, but it is very hot here right now high 90's low 100's.... so I am going to wait and plant in sept, oct after it cools down a bit...
can't say I don't blame you... it came out beautiful... really great to see the transition as it fills in
Suzy, that looks great! Where did you get your windmill?
What a wonderful, magical garden Suzysweetpea. In the lower right corner of the last pic, next to the gnome, is that a bonsai boxwood?
LOL...so you had one of those birthdays that lasted all week! ;0)
I hope you had a great one.
I love the way that thyme? is spilling through the fence. Very nice. I like the pomegranate, too! Do you know the name of it (I'm assuming it is a dwarf), and/or where you got it?
I saw goodies on the concrete patio set. Tea and...?cookies?...cute
mgh - I've seen those windmills on various dollhouse and miniature web sites.
Thanks, Sue. :o)
Seed , here is the link where I got my ornamental pomagranate sp? http://www.miniplantkingdom.com/search.cgi
This mini plant nursery is about a 2hr drive from my house ( How lucky am I ) I have never had anything shipped from them so cannot comment on that but we have green thumbs right so we should be able to revive anything !!
bugme yes that is a bonsai boxwood I got it at the same place as noted in my link above..
Primrose I found the windmill on www.miniatures.com
Thank you :0)
wow that really filled in. Its so cute. So many little details.
ok, ...not to beat this to death, but I think I just found the perfect cup of cocoa for your scene :0)
it is in mugs, not fancy tea cups, and has a tiny blob of melted marshmallows, and a cinnamon stick:

I love your display stand, it gives me inspiration on how to expand mine.
