I was delighted when two of my dear friends and fellow miniaturists asked me to make a brochure for their own area of miniatures. Above left we have the Miniature Flower Petal and Leaves brochure from Margaret. It is full of the prettiest floral components, kits and ready made flowers and bouquets. Above right - a step by step brochure to show you how to wig your dolls from expert wig maker Josephine. Contact details of these artisans and the supplies you will need are included. You can order these through the cottage or direct.

The following three brochures will be next off the production line.

The haberdashery brochure ‘Willow Creek Mill’ which is part of the main set at the top of this page, was becoming a little too thick to press the staples into - thus causing repetitive strain injury on my wrist. I thought about this a great deal and, as I have real brides visiting the cottage for fabrics I thought it would be better to put all the silks and specialist laces into a brochure of their own and to make the
Tussie Mussie (above left) extra special, it also includes some samples. Above centre is the new Crabtree and Evelyn brochure with details of my colour themed miniature fragrances and counters, gift boxes and accessories. The brochure above right is my new Making Perfect Wedding Cakes in Miniature step by step full colour guide. You told me what you would like - I listened - and here it is. Also included are details of everything you will need including fimo, cake tins, cake toppers and so on and better still - they will all be available to purchase from the cottage - how brilliant is that.

The Fantasy Bridal Parade (left) is to be perhaps my most exciting production and I just can’t wait to get this one out to you. In there you will find some wonderful creations, some will be new and others you may have spotted from time to time on this web site and in magazines, but here they all are for you to enjoy and be inspired. The designs will include dolls to purchase at any time, limited editions and there will be some patterns on offer to for you to create. Wonder at the Ice Collection - Ice Princess, Snow Queen and Pandora, be inspired by the far East with Jasmine, be enthralled with Sugar Plum and go back in time to Camelot where good and bad are face to face with Morgana and Lady Guinevere. Christine and Odile take us to the theatre whilst Grace is a true princess of the 20th century, perhaps the most beautiful of Royal brides and legend of the silver screen.

Purchasing details and buttons will appear on this page when brochures are ready to go out. They are all at varying stages of completion at the moment, but well on their way so keep popping back. Final publishing dates depend upon my work commitments.

The next to come are my two new fashion brochures destined for late 2008 - 2009
|
|
|
|
Above left ft is my Haute Couture brochure for dressed dolls, gown patterns and fashion accessories. Most of the gowns in this brochure will have a historical theme for those of you with period houses. Above right is the new Fairytale gown brochure. Once the Fantasy Bridal Parade is complete I will be moving on to some of the prettiest fairytale designer gowns you could ever wish for. These will be for the connoisseur bridal enthusiasts but I also hope you will all enjoy the designs and see this brochure as an inspirational and pretty book to be enjoyed for its own sake.

My Book

I was delighted when my first book became a bestseller for GMC. This is more than I’d even dreamt about. Letters and emails have arrived from around the world to tell me how much it is enjoyed. So much so – that I am writing two more books full of gown patterns - historical and period - for 2009/10. Sorry for the delay but it takes the publishers almost a year to edit, design and print it after it has been handed in. I would also like to take my time with these as the wedding book had to be completed in seven months and it was so stressful – but so so worth it! I would like to treasure the experience more with these.

I listened so carefully to all your requests for a wedding cake brochure and wo and behold - here it is - almost! Many others asked for period gown patterns - I sent you Victoria, Elizabeth and Belle, next year my Haute Couture brochure and soon after that, a second book. Are there any other areas of miniatures which you would like me to cover? Are you having problems sourcing anything in particular? All suggestions duly noted and responded to in due course. Popular requests will receive my utmost attention.
