A friend and I went to the Southern California miniatures show this weekend. There were lots of very lovely, fascinating things, and I came home with some of them. Above, a porcelain pot by Troy Schmidt of Red Dragon Pottery, exquisite in both its blueness and its delicate shape.
A Dieffenbachia kit (no. 213) and white pot from Dragonfly Miniatures. I assembled the leaves Saturday afternoon, and "potted" it up in a bit of real potting soil mixed with glue. I wanted a plant for the carpet shop, and this meets my expectations and goes a little above! (The stand is a hand-me-down House of Miniatures candle-stand kit, painted black to be modern. Nobody seems to really want the candle-stand kit -- I have another one -- but I think it makes a good plant stand, actually.)
A woollen throw from Designing Ways. (Their mid-century furniture was pretty tempting, too ...)
A china plate from Hemy & Laura.
A lovely white and pink Dendrobium orchid by Twin Heart.
And the first pot I chose from Troy Schmidt's collection -- it has a wonderful blend of colors, almost like a sunset --
I think I am in love with those tiny pots and plants! The skill of the makers has taken my breath away, what a thrill it must have been to see them at first hand. You are a lucky girl.
