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 :-)

Church has arrived and a churchyard update

My fabulous church arrived yesterday and the excitement is always slightly mixed with the fear of hoping it arrived safely! Unpacking the box is always a little scary but I needn't have worried it was perfect not so much as a scratch!

It really is just wonderful I am chuffed to bits with it!! Going to tease you a little and not post any pics just yet as I want to get it in place with the churchyard first and I need it downstairs at the mo so I can measure where the paths etc will go and there's not much point putting it upstairs only to bring it down again that's when I am likely to drop it or something equally stupid!!

So just to show you something I will let you see the little graves I have now finished off. Yesterday I bought a sample pot of grey paint in a sale bin for 50p and I didn't notice at the time but it was a suede effect and it looks perfect painted on the graves as it has tiny little grainy bits in it which really give it a stone like appearance! I love how they turned out and hopefully they aren't too spooky as this is a happy churchyard not a scary one!!! Bill is a more recently departed resident so his grave will have fresh flowers and not so many weeds!




I have been trying to think of little details I can add as I have 2 lovely big areas either side of the porch. I came up with the idea of a little plants for sale table which I think will add a bit of interest. I picked up the table for £1.50 in the DH shop ages ago thinking it would come in handy somewhere and it did lol!! And of course there is an honesty box after all who would steal from a church!


Maybe we can have a jumble sale or even the Christmas fete could be held here this year with a nice nativity scene there are so many different things that I can change with the seasons its a great little corner of Quayside!

  1. The graves look great. I love the table with the plants for sale :) A cake sale is another idea maybe. Cant wait to see it finished.
