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 :-)

Mini canvas artwork

I have a fabulous painting in my front room done by my very talented little brother! I thought the colours matched perfectly in the from room of Fairbanks. I took a photo which was not as easy as its sounds as however I did it I just couldn't get completely rid of the reflection but my Dad is up next week and has a super duper camera with all the bells and whistles on so will get him to take a better one for me! I then resized it and printed it onto to some printable canvas sheets so it actually does look like a real mini canvas. The colours haven't printed quite as bright as the original but I think it suits the room and its nice to have in in there. I may try printing onto photo paper instead as it would prob be a better colour match but kinda like how it looks like canvas so undecided on that one! I like to have something a little personal in my houses!

  2. Hi Simon I forgot to say you should join the DHE forum as there are a few people on there that have a Fairbanks and made some really good alterations to the basic build so that might be helpful for you! Hope you have a nice weekend too! :-)
