Well folks....here we are again, our last posting of 2014!
First
up, we must give a special thanks to everyone who came to our two separate
workshops during 2014. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we did....they may
have been quite challenging in different ways but who would have guessed that
the stone wall was made out of egg boxes, fencing made from matches, winding
path as well as roof tiles made from cardboard, and bricks from sandpaper! We
hope this illustrates that you do not necessarily need fancy materials or tools
to make beautiful miniatures.
Above you can see a photo of Geraldine's "Round The Back Of The
Old Gardener's Cottage" project that she made at our Spring 2014
workshop....and we are immensely proud of her! She came to her very first
workshop in 2013 as an absolute beginner, completely convinced that she would
never be able to make anything but thought that she would give it a go anyway.
And here we are, just a few months later and she is producing single handedly
this gorgeous little scene that you can see here.
Margaret came to her first workshop with us in the autumn of 2014.
She sent us this photo of her finished "Down The Little Herb Garden
Path" project and we were completely blown away by it. We think it is
absolutely exquisite!
THE
LITTLE VINTAGE TOY SHOP
By now, everyone reading
this will probably be aware of our next workshop that is taking place next June.

the shop before the interior shelves were fitted.
But did you know that we now
have the promotional page up with more information?
Much planning has gone into
our June 2015 all day workshop and making the prototype for this particular
vintage style project has been an absolute joy. For those of you who love
vintage dolls houses and also like the challenge of creating, you may
particularly love this project. We will be offering a place to everyone on the
Reserve List within the first two weeks of January as soon as we have official
confirmation from the Bicester venue of which Saturday in June it will be. Then
soon after, booking will go live on the website for all remaining spaces. As
the list is now rather long and this workshop is proving to be rather popular,
it is highly likely that we will be running this workshop on not just one but
two different Saturdays in June. Please do still feel free to email us if
you wish to be added to the Reserve List.

FOR ALL
THOSE ON THE RESERVE LIST
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE WE HAVE
THE DATE CONFIRMED BY THE VENUE, EVERYONE WHO IS ON THE RESERVE LIST WILL BE
CONTACTED BY US DURING THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OF JANUARY. THOSE PEOPLE WILL BE
GIVEN 5 DAYS TO CONFIRM WHETHER THEY WISH TO TAKE UP THEIR PRIORITY BOOKING OR
NOT, THEN BOOKING WILL GO LIVE ON THE WEBSITE FOR THE REMAINING SPACES.
And finally, all we need to
do now is to wish you all....
A Merry
Christmas & Happy New Year
From
Nostalgia In Miniature Workshops!
Hope to see you in June
2015!
Kind regards
Celia &
Robin
