Welcome to Quayside my town by the seaside!

WELCOME TO QUAYSIDE MY TOWN BY THE SEASIDE



Thank you for visiting my blog and thanks even more if you decide to follow :-) I really do enjoying doing it and love to share my projects with you all! In the village at last count I had 18 houses, 14 little roombox size shops, 3 half houses, and 1 half church (half being just a front!) there's also 1 quarter of a house (just half of a front lol) 2 market stalls, 3 market carts and beach huts on the beach although theres always seems to be room for just one more!

I also have a my 1st house a traditional Victorian manor which is very special as it was bought with money left to me by my beloved Nan. There's also my witches house and a witches shop. I also have a lovely Honeychurch house which is my Christmas shop and house and my latest venture a little vintage cottage. But the bulk of my property empire is Quayside, my little Cornish seaside village full of lovely individual cottages and all its wonderful residents. This has become a real labour of love and has turned me from a Dolls house fan into a complete and utter addict! The links below will take you to each of my houses and I especially hope you enjoy your visit to Quayside :-)

Welcome to Upper Quayside!

My lovely little shops arrived on Friday afternoon! Typical the only day I was off out to get my hair cut so had to just take the parcel from the postie stick it in Dollyland and leave it til I got home!!

Unpacked it all when I got back so find they had all arrived safely plus the extra little things like the wonderful flowers that I had also bought from Julie. I have been very busy the past few days setting up the shops and deciding which was the best order to have them in. I now have a really sore neck from moving them around 20 times before I decided! They look amazing! It was just a spark of an idea to make a space for a few more cottages and even I never imagined just how good they would look! Julie really has to take all the credit as she really has the most amazing way of turning dreams into reality!!




I decided to put the pink one which is called Sweet Pea Cottage on the end as its the very slightly smallest of the 3. I have been busy making lots of lovely things to fill it with so was just a case of fitting the chandelier which I love!! and popping everything else in. Its so pretty and feminine I love it! Bethany of course made all my signs and she decided on the name for this one.







Next is Crabpot Cottage which is a little farm/supplies shop. I have just used a few things I already had to hand and I made the white shelf unit this afternoon. It needs a bit more stock but at least the residents of Quayside now have somewhere to do a little shopping.




I could also just about fit the Harbour Hut on the end of the shelf so that gives me Ocean View a whole extra shop to fill! At the moment I am not sure what to do with it so its just up for lease til a new owner comes along!

  3. The one for lease, how about beach Hire, like wet suits etc, a hairdresser/barbers, pet shop, OR... a charity shop? and you could put homeless bits & bobs in there. Send the details of your sign writer as I need one made please!
