what do breakfast, power tools and cleaning supplies have in common?

Well, not much really - if anything - but in this case: they're making an appearance in the same miniature-scene 😁

So, what is going on here? Looks like someone's having breakfast with fresh coffee, fried eggs, tangerines and doing some work in the kitchen.

Okay, something's up. Let's investigate...

Commotion in the Park (BREAKING NEWS)

While we had left the park on that lovely summer's day, something happened later that afternoon that shook the entire neighborhood... [it's weird why this 'breaking news' took so long to break though, lol 😁. I thought I had already added this post, all photos and text meant for this one have been ready since early August!]

Looks like the Oldtique Store owner just left a bit of a mess after her park lunch, right?

 
But she wouldn't do that, and definitely wouldn't leave her favorite cardigan behind! So something's up, but what?

12th scale park-bench picnic for one

A summery scene on a really nice summer's day, here in the Netherlands anyway. Taken by the Oldtique Store owner (who oddly has no name nor face, haha 😁) combining her visit to the park with some lunch.

A great opportunity to showcase some things I haven't before, like the gorgeous pinkish-purple foxglove created by the lovely Carla Zandvliet I fell in love with at the Arnhem Fair in 2017 or 2018 (the plant, not the miniaturist 😉). The hamburger, tempting not just 12th scale people's senses but mine as well (you'll find a close up further in this post), is from the vèry gifted Tristatin (Etsy; looking up the name to be able to share here I just discovered they are no longer selling, unfortunately...)

cr(e)ating the old to make space for the new

When something is late for one occasion, it may be just in time for another. Well, that's what I decided it to be in this case 😉.

look what I found (and made)! joy to the world, in 12th scale ;)

Do you like Christmas as much as I do? I love it! As well as a great opportunity to get out some things I had not yet used with some newly found and made items. I hope you enjoy!

how about the rustic coffee-table? It's a slab of petrified wood of which I put the unpolished side up for that natural look.
I couldn't finish the turning wheels (see my post Flower Hour), so I made easy legs for this scene (the are looped at the bottom)
