Verstraete Miniatures Gallery - Miniature Teapot Shoppe

It's Tea Time!

Tea time goodies. Box: Lisa's Little Things
This was one of my favorite projects and probably one I had the most fun designing. Lucky for me, my friend, Kitty, loves working with clay and does a fantastic job of it! So she made most of the teapots here for me.

When I finally got the Houseworks' "Street of Shops," I thought one would make a perfect Teapot Shoppe. I decided to coordiate everything in shades of ivory, pink and raspberry touched with gold.  I used scrapbook papers and sparkly trim sticker edges to decorate the shelves and furnishings.  I usually am hesitant about painting wood furniture, but I've found it can make a dramatic change in how the room looks when everything matches.

   



  Accessories: You can make a similar Bunka rug like the one at the front door in my book, IN      MINIATURE STYLE II. I also have a couple samples on the miniature projects page. The tea cup planters by the door are from a string of teapots and cupts (Christmas decorations) from Hobby Lobby. (Tea container box set - Lisa's Little Things; painted Chrynsbon plates and cake on table, unBEEWeevable. Other cakes and teapots by Kitty.

Tips: The black sections in front were marbled using a feather dipped in white paint. Decorative pieces and sparkly parts from a sticker were used to decorate the lower main cabinet inside. Painted flat teacup charms made the perfect outside decoration on the upper outside sign.

Guess: Can you guess how many teapots are in this room? (Answer on one of teapot pix below.)
