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 :-)

Happy New year and lots of Christmas mini'ing
Got a few DH bits for Christmas a lovely doll which you know about lol and a fab little rabbit and Bethany made me a sign for the spare room and a picture for the cafe which was was one off my favourite pressies!! I could just imagine her upstairs arranging all my villagers for the photo lol! Had lots of mini time with my Mum which was fab we had a great time giving the cafe refurb and making lots of things also gave me lots of ideas for future projects. Was sad to pack the Christmas fayre away I had great fun making that its a bit early to make a summer scene so just decided to make a snowy one for now! We had a change round of the houses in the corner they look much better now and I have nice area inbetween to make a garden. Captains Rest looks great with the boards up and a bit of Ivy added. I do have a really bad itch for a new cottage though I find Crabpot a bit small compared to all my others and am really debating on getting a lovely new cottage to go in that space!!
Mum and I escaped the chaos and sneaked off upstairs most days for a little play! I decided to give the cafe a refurb as it was a bit boring. The dresser was in a mixed lot of Sylvanian stuff and its drawers were missing so I made some draw fronts and painted it blue to look a bit more seasidey and then went with the red check theme to match in with the chairs. We also made the jars of jam, bunting, menus and pictures. I am really pleased how its turned out and it didn't cost me a penny apart form printer ink for all the signs and papers
Everything is so beautiful! I loved every detail!
