Selling on ebay/etsy is all new to us really - I have been looking at blogs about selling art/dolls on these kinds of sites and I am finding it fun seeing what works and what doesn't! It feels very strange selling dolls this way, we are so used to only selling at fairs and then we get to see the reaction of our customers -very odd lol. But if it works out, it is something we will keep doing as we appreciate not everyone can make it to the big shows! Our next show is possibly Miniatura (we hope to make it) if not we will be at Chicago in April.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aidy and I will have been making dolls for 10 years in 2013 and we will also be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. So lots of things are going to change at Lilyelf to mark these occasions! We have a very cute idea to work on...hopefully it won't take too long to get pictures if it all works out, we are also going to be changing a few things about the way we make dolls and become even more focused on our automata as it is proving very popular!</div>

We are selling some of our work on ebay - we don't do this often! We usually just don't have time to make dolls for shows and to sell online as we do so many shows in a normal Lilyelf year, but because we have had almost two years away from doing British shows - due to family illness -and have only been doing Chicago and Philadelphia, we thought it may be an idea to start using the Internet to reach customers old and new, now that finally we have the time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As this is our first time listing dolls on ebay in well over two or more years, we have started some at a low price and some even start as little as $1.00 as a Black Friday special. Now is the time to buy! They would make the perfect gift for Christmas for yourself or a loved one - we will continue listing on ebay and see how people respond to our work this way!</div>

Well, hurricane Sandy thwarted our plans...but she didn't stop us! We
had two flights cancelled and had to fly out two days later than planned. We were so happy to bump into Penny Thomson <a href="http://www.penny-thomson.co.uk/index.php">http://www.penny-thomson.co.uk/index.php</a> at the airport and she joined us in the ride to the hotel - which was brave of her as we had hired a car and yes we got lost more than once! But we did stop for coffee along the way so it was not all bad...</div>

The fact we arrived late meant we were not in time for
our workshop which was sold out and some students couldn't make it
either, but with huge thanks to Kim and the determination that is the
backbone of all hardcore miniaturist<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">s</span></span>, we did manage to run the workshops in two shifts!</div>

As ever NAME put on a great night
before the show and the best part was us getting to 'play' too! Aidy and
I had so much fun making things - we made mini pastries, a little
house, an autumn wreath and a record holder! We had so much fun and we
can't thank this friendly bunch enough for their kindness, willingness
to help and general enthusiasm! It was one of the many high-lights of
the show...</div>

<div class="Standard">
Hello readers, with Roz away at her mums' for the forseeable
future (my unfortunate mother-in-law fell quite badly in a Bathroom related incident last week and broke her leg in several places, so Roz has dutifully
gone to help out. Btw yes, you read that right about the Bathroom. Don't ask.
Besides, according to some stuff I just looked up 90% of accidents occur in the
home. 4 people died last year just putting their trousers on so... just take
care, ok?) it falls to me, Aidy, the “elf” in “Lilyelf”, to man the lifeboats,
take one for the team and generally hold the baby round here.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Yes that's right, if this were a sitcom the scene would open
with me waving Roz goodbye before attempting some seemingly innocuous task –
opening a tin of beans, say – followed by the screen going black and flashing
up the legend “2 minutes later...” cut to a shot of me sitting holding a tin
opener and looking forlorn while the house simultaneously burns down, gets
washed away in a flood and is attacked by zombie ostriches.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I'm not normally trusted to talk to strange people (are you
allowed to be listening to one?); so it's quite an honour to be permitted to
write a blog entry and, mad with power, I've decided to try listing a few of
our dolls on Ebay.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
You heard me right, folks, we've taken leave of our senses
down here at Lilyelf towers and we're auctioning off some superb miniature
creations in a pay yer money takes yer chance, winner takes all, everything
must go grab-a-bargain bonanza!</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I'll be putting up some porcelain character dolls from our
own collection (moulds made by me, exclusive to Lilyelf), as well as some brand
new one-of-kind dolls. The dolls are made to the same high detail and quality
of finish as any that some of you will have seen or, indeed, purchased from our
stand over the years. Actually, come to think of it, a couple of them have
actually been out on the stand for sale recently in Chicago.</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I must admit my main motivation is curiosity. My mate Daz
(not a miniaturist, more of a bass player) is a massive Ebay zealot and he's
always buying and selling a plethora of strange and wondrous items (quite
pleased I managed to use a sentence with the word “plethora” in it there).
There's a kind of logic at play here, too; Roz being away has made creating new
work logistically challenging as we send stuff back and forth so we've agreed
to try and use the time to wrap up some commissions. (On which note, Julie, if
you're reading this, I haven't forgotten that swimming pool you ordered two
years ago...) And our next show is in October so in the meantime I've got all
these little people sitting here just looking at me...</div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
</div>
<div class="Standard">
Now where's that Zombie Ostrich Repellent..?</div>

I was kind of hooked - think Hobby Craft but far less expensive! At this show Eleanor, who did our workshop kept coming in with little treats for me from a local Michaels store...so on Monday we decided to use the ipad, get a map and go in search of the wonders we may find! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was hoping that I could find some remnants of Halloween craft items for our witches - I was not disappointed! I managed to buy about 40 rolls of ribbon that are just perfect - I even got some fab fake fur animal print ribbon in purple - can't wait to use it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As we expected the store was next to a mall so we had a great time looking around and buying things - we were very good in the book store and only bought 3 books each - I got a fantastic costume reference book which is going to come in very handy for some dolls we plan to do for Chicago!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Oaky, so you have had 3 positive uplifting posts about how great everything was...Now I get to complain! We took a cab to the mall and the driver gave us his card... admittedly we did spend hours in the mall and he didn't answer when we called, so we called the company. We were promised a cab in 15 minutes... 30 minutes later we call again to be told the guy came and we were not there so he left!!! We couldn't have been any more there - we were not difficult to spot, in fact we were almost on Christmas card list terms with the security woman who kept driving past us! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They again tell us 10 -15 minutes, again 30 minutes go by, so we give up and go into the mall and ask at the information desk for another cab company - we call them and yes you guessed it we get told 10 -15 minutes!! By this time we were thinking we may need to walk 5 miles or call the hotel for a rescue mission lol and then a cab pulls up from the original company and it turns out he was the night guy and he only just got the call!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We then had the cab ride from hell as he had his wife/girlfriend in the cab and they wanted to talk so we were subjected to the really loud Radio and oddly they had an aversion to music so we kept getting adverts! We were both so pleased to see the hotel again lol - although I still have the ribbon and the books so it was worth it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to say it made me think twice about being adventurous lol I can't believe it was so difficult to get a cab in America!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
He eventually persuaded me and we split the workload so I made the balloon (I didn't think I could make it but he insisted) over a wire armature, sewing each square of fabric in place before ageing it with paint effect - it took 5 days to make and I have to say by that point I was glad to be done with it lol. I also dressed the dolls in a steampunk style - so much fun! Oh and made the bird lol<br />
<br />
Aidy did all the moving aspects of the piece, he sculpted the dolls, made a cabin for the boat, did all the painting on the boat and funnels and brought it all together. It works on mains electricity or batteries and he really is very good at getting these things to work well!<br />
<br />
The show opened on the Friday night and almost at once our stand had a great response. Everyone loved our latest steampunk contraption and it soon became the talk of the show with people bringing friends to come and look at it - so maybe Aidy was right after all - shhhh don't tell him I said that - he isn't allowed to be right often!<br />
<br />
We sold the piece before anything else - it really was a huge success and we have lots more ideas planned for Chicago, in a similar style. - despite my protests about making this one, they really are fun to make and allow us to be really creative which is always a good thing!<br />
<br />
The Friday night preview was so much fun, there was great food on offer, even for us picky vegetarians, we had a lovely spot for our stand in the ballroom and we were next to the IGMA sales table (the work on offer was incredible) and Susan and Charles from Sir Thomas Thumb, they were really lovely and it was nice company for the weekend. We actually bought a butterfly from Susan and Charles for our butterfly catcher and he sold right away so it was the perfect finishing touch! Everyone was so excited and happy to be at the show and there was such a nice atmosphere.<br />
<br />
It was so nice to just have to go in a lift at the end of the night and get some rest - even if getting the lift took some time lol - so many people!<br />
<br />
Saturday was another really good day for us, we had great sales and a really positive response from people who had seen our work before and those who didn't know us at all. We also kept getting people telling us to go and look at Mike Barbour's dolls as he was doing steampunk pieces too - he was getting the same thing all weekend lol so we did eventually see each others stands at the odd quiet moment. His work is wonderful - not that he had a lot of pieces left by the time we got to see his stand.<br />
<br />
It was nice to see Kathy and Brian, from Rainbow hand again. Their stand looked amazing although by the time we took the pictures they didn't have a lot left on show!<br />
<br />
Deb Mackie, White Horse studio, had some great pieces too, every time we went to her stand she was busy or taking a quick break so we captured this shot at the end of the show ;) <br />
<br />
Bear and Alisa of Standing People Designs were at the NAME event making the magazine rack alongside us - little did we know how amazing their own work is - it is truly wonderful, detailed and just perfect miniature replicas of the real thing. I love these kind of miniatures which if they are photographed on their own you couldn't tell the scale of them - just perfect. It was also nice to meet another couple who share the workload ;)<br />
<br />
We were near Jamie Carrington which is always a pleasure, his dolls are just at another level all together and his 1:24 dolls are unbelievably detailed - how does he do it?!? He is so lovely though that you just have to admire him for the artist he is and accept that we have a long way to go!!! We finally joined IGMA because Jamie kept telling us we must lol and it is one of those things we just have never got round to doing so we are now members at last!<br />
<br />
Aidy and Jamie spent most of their free moments sat outside the hotel smoking (naughty I know) and probably putting the world to rights...nah I think they just like to natter lol - I had more sense and stayed in the warmth! I found myself wanting to go to bed at around 9 ish and the air conditioning kept giving me a bad head, I guess we Brits are not used to it!<br />
<br />
Sunday was a shorter day and it was quiet enough so we could both get to have a quick dash around the show, we didn't take pictures of all the wonderful things on offer as we just didn't have the time. The quality throughout was of a very high standard and could suit all budgets. Every customer I talked to was just loving the whole event ;) <br />
<br />
We would like to thank Kim and everyone else who made the show possible, all the wonderful people who had such lovely things to say about our work and all the other exhibitors who were really supportive, welcoming and very friendly. We had a fantastic time at the show, it was a lovely venue, well organised and everyone was so friendly! If you get the chance to go next year we can recommend it as one of the best in the world.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835770997657494946noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650355871640038475.post-17235172974453299852011-11-12T10:58:00.000-08:002011-11-12T10:58:33.549-08:00Philadelphia Miniaturia Part 2 - NAME<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NPgWWXrbZFrLjbmuPKGr-t1ybBOHOFb7v_h6wkpNU8zDnci1Yzl82FAYqtuU3ODw54tD3eTRMyOnoZFSXnYOApEi4ESGfvbbddjSmTeyn-xwjY4ZbfKytvqB8Z7pFuZYgt8E6KTTddQ/s1600/philadelphia+181.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NPgWWXrbZFrLjbmuPKGr-t1ybBOHOFb7v_h6wkpNU8zDnci1Yzl82FAYqtuU3ODw54tD3eTRMyOnoZFSXnYOApEi4ESGfvbbddjSmTeyn-xwjY4ZbfKytvqB8Z7pFuZYgt8E6KTTddQ/s320/philadelphia+181.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The night before the show opened, NAME had their annual gathering, with an evening of goodies (we got flashing badges which we loved and lots of sweet treats!), demonstrations, round tables and even photo shoots of people sitting on the moon lol </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP7wOHxy-QMerUKZaJtFUfQa2GrKMrUDTMP_YV2HSQ6VBccAYGdhQ7ISaFM88RBgAADagTLiIfK7GRgdvAbNt-qxYWHL3Tuf_EfXNd2ocQh3ZhyphenhyphenNDJ8zxcHc08eVPFEjVDsTKA43EV7l8/s1600/philadelphia+184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP7wOHxy-QMerUKZaJtFUfQa2GrKMrUDTMP_YV2HSQ6VBccAYGdhQ7ISaFM88RBgAADagTLiIfK7GRgdvAbNt-qxYWHL3Tuf_EfXNd2ocQh3ZhyphenhyphenNDJ8zxcHc08eVPFEjVDsTKA43EV7l8/s320/philadelphia+184.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> It was all free even to non members and everyone was so friendly and welcoming!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Well, we didn't give ourselves long to recover from Arnhem - just a day lol and we were on the way to Philadelphia. We arrived mid afternoon and had a night to settle in before we got to work!<br />
<br />
I was lucky as I had day two of the workshop so I had a little time to adjust but Aidy had to get straight to work ;) As usual we had a lovely group of ladies and it was a really nice way to get to know each other - we had a lot of fun!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pam and Eleanor already knew what they wanted to make - Pam wanted to make a crocodile for an ongoing project she is doing for a flower show, a select few have the honor of making a miniature scene complete with flowers and plants - it sounded like so much fun and she has a huge list of characters to make in order to get it finished - we are just sad we won't be at the show to see the finished piece as she has put a huge amount of time and effort into it already.<br />
<br />
<br />
Eleanor had to make a witch as she adores all thinks spooky! Eleanor is already a customer of ours and now she is most definitely a wonderful friend as we both sing from the same wacky witch sheet :) we had so much fun over the week and we would like to thank her for the little gifts she bought us and for taking us out to find shops and for a wonderful dinner - you really must come and stay with us!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ann and Carol where happy to let the character just appear from the clay - Ann ended up with a lovely older man however once the show was open he got her into lots of trouble as he decided he just had to have accessories! She did manage to stop him from owning a dog that was $550 and instead got him one for a more reasonable figure lol. Carol made a rather down and out chap, everything had gone south and he was a tad bit down on his luck so she spent part of the show looking for park benches and other accessories he may own. It was so nice to see them both so attached to their little people.<br />
<br />
<br />
We had a lovely dinner at the hotel with Pam, Carol and Ann and it will be good to catch up with them all next year - we can't wait and are already planning what to make next!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835770997657494946noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650355871640038475.post-17494193069040695142011-11-11T13:49:00.000-08:002011-11-11T13:49:35.586-08:00New work - Sept/Oct 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHSRl5u9-I2eruVtLDD3QnWPHs1sBRx6KCvcYUidBdS1fdY6b5tgaA2p8D8VVdLFgqpnhQhJ4ZANIRzVkzvq6BWHD1vfB9obZdaNJaIfYDEeLoh6sttlwTD5IFazX1kAsIptGTgb9-UQc/s1600/philadelphia+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHSRl5u9-I2eruVtLDD3QnWPHs1sBRx6KCvcYUidBdS1fdY6b5tgaA2p8D8VVdLFgqpnhQhJ4ZANIRzVkzvq6BWHD1vfB9obZdaNJaIfYDEeLoh6sttlwTD5IFazX1kAsIptGTgb9-UQc/s320/philadelphia+011.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> We wanted to do something a little different this year... so we made some elves ;) These two are naughty!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Well, we actually forgot to take pictures of the show...but Aidy (and no surprise really) did manage to find his camera for this moment! Every Saturday some of the exhibitors get together for a meal and this year Serge was prepared...he didn't just select Linda and I but any willing (I use that term loosely) lady in the room! To give myself and Linda credit we were the only ones at our table who would allow such a thing ;) must be the fact we are both Manchester born and so tend to accept all of life's situations with...well I like to think some grace but looking at these I am not so sure lol<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to the show... we had a quiet one this time and it did seem to be mixed with some people reporting a great show and others not so much - however as it was the weekend just after all the Euro doom and gloom we didn't do as badly as we could have!<br />

<br />
Well, we managed to make it to the miniature weekend in the Cotswolds - and we had so much fun! We again had a lovely group of ladies who were all very friendly and had such great ideas for the characters they wanted to make - It is always so much fun seeing what little people appear out of the clay!<br />
<br />
This year we had everything from a pretty Edwardian lady to a drag queen :) and every doll turned out really well and so full of character. It is amazing to see what can be achieved by people who have never sculpted or dressed a doll before.<br />
<br />
Again it was a great event, very well organised and the venue is a really nice place to spend the weekend. Everyone who came seemed to go away very happy with everything they made - there was a lot going on! We would like to thank Karen, Gillie, Wendy, Clive and everyone else who made the weekend possible - especially as we were not very organised in the run up to it because of recent events at home which meant we were not always around to answer emails!<br />
<br />
It was so nice to catch up with friends old and new - especially Sally Watson and Kathy Brindle (who we only get to see once a year!) they always make us laugh the entire time we spend with them!!<br />
<br />
It was also so nice to work with Wendy again, who did our workshop last year and this time she really managed to achieve what she set out to make - she also brought along a doll she had made in her own time and he was so impressive!<br />
<br />
We would also like to say a huge thank you to Kath, Wendy, Jenny, Karen, Linda and Caroline who made the weekend what it was - you were all so lovely and eager to learn and your little dolls turned out wonderfully! We look forward to seeing you all again at fairs or at the next miniature weekend ;)<br />
<br />
We are now getting ready for Arnhem and Philadelphia Miniatura - we have a lot of exciting things in the pipeline and a lot of new characters - I will post pictures as and when I can :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835770997657494946noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650355871640038475.post-70899658591824077262011-08-26T04:39:00.000-07:002011-08-26T04:39:07.443-07:00update...<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><div> <span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">To say Aidy and I are hurt is an understatement, yet again we are hearing that people are gossiping about us and making up false stories and accusations, this does not surprise me as we are used to this behavior from other so called professionals on the scene. The fact that we are quite private people and do not air any issues for all to see seems to give people the green light to fill in the gaps. I am annoyed that I have been made to feel a public statement is required and I really wish people were not so spiteful </span></span>and quick to judge.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Things are extremely difficult at the moment, I am now looking after my mother and father and my aunt full time, two of whom have alzheimer's, my mother is almost blind and has cancer along with a catalogue of other very serious health issues and things are far from easy. They have another carer who shares looking after them with me but she is also now very ill and has had to have a lot of time off sick - this means I do not get to go home at all during these periods and yes, Lilyelf has slipped way down on the list of priorities and for that we are sorry. We do not like to let people down, but as the current situation is ongoing and we have no clear idea of when things will improve it is hard to make plans for shows - we are both needed to run Lilyelf, Aidy cannot do it alone.<br />
<br />
<br />
We are currently aiming to be able to do October fairs onwards including <span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Arnhem, York and Philadelphia, this unfortunately means we will be missing Stafford, Falkirk and Miniatura so we are sorry for any disappointment this may cause to our customers. As soon as things improve full attention will be given to Lilyelf.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Those of you waiting on commissions, Aidy is working through them, however I need to find the time to dress them, so we will get in touch with each of you and give you a realistic date for completion - yet again we are very sorry for any disappointment this may bring but things are beyond our control at the moment.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope this will put people in the picture and allow us to concentrate on issues at hand.<br />

<br />
We have not been around because of family health issues and I am having to spend a lot of time away from home because of it. This has obviously impacted on Lilyelf but we are working through the current situation and hope to be back giving all our attention to Lilyelf as soon as possible. We are working on commissions at the moment as time permits.<br />

We will be unable to do some fairs because we just do not have the time to make all the dolls to fill the stand - I will post an updated fair list soon to keep you aware of all that is going on.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835770997657494946noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650355871640038475.post-30854178134391008582011-04-20T12:01:00.000-07:002011-04-20T12:01:17.854-07:001:24th scale....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well I have to admit I have never been a fan of 1:24th scale as I have found it lacking in detail but I am now quickly being converted to the benefits! I don't know if you have taken the time to look at previous links the Herdwick Landscapes website but if not and you are interested in the smaller scales you should!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.herdwicklandscapes.co.uk/">http://www.herdwicklandscapes.co.uk/</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Kate and Peter are such lovely friendly people and always have time for a chat, they mainly make houses based on actual ones scattered around the lake district national park so they are realistic and true to life - they will however also make commissioned pieces and have just recently made a mouse house which was truly wonderful!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They have just started making kits and soon 1:48th houses will be on the way! They also run workshops so you can make your very own house or room box - please see their website for details.</div><br />

</div>Well I am pleased to say Chicago was not all drama lol... all our dolls arrived in one piece and we set up and were ready by the time the show opened! The doll room was filled with a great atmosphere and everyone was very friendly and welcoming which was nice and put us at ease.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We were next to Jane Davies who was lovely and had such beautiful dolls on her stand but sadly Aidy never got round to taking any pictures so please have a look at her website to have a peek at her work - <a href="http://www.jsdartistdolls.com/">http://www.jsdartistdolls.com/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Jane was being helped by a wonderful lady called Pat who I have to say was one of those people you meet and instantly adore - she decided she was going to adopt Aidy and I and now insists we go and visit her :) I was so pleased when she bought my favourite piece on our stand - the witch with the flying pram (you can see pictures here <a href="http://lilyelf.blogspot.com/2011/03/miniatura.html">http://lilyelf.blogspot.com/2011/03/miniatura.html</a>) I know she will look after them so it was not as difficult letting them go!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We sold our walking steampunk contraption in the first hour of the preview show! And we went on to have good sales especially as we have never done a show or any promotion in the states - we were delighted by the end of the weekend and have already booked and paid for next year - we also now have a much better idea of the American market which should come in useful for Philadelphia Miniaturia :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On our last day we went to a fabric store where I found lots of treasures some of which will be for sale at fairs - I also found some ribbon that will be perfect for all thing witchy! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also had a delightful lunch cooked for us by Dru and it really was one of the best meals we had in the entire two weeks - Pat even ate the leftovers lol - I was also greeted with a huge cheesecake at the end of the show so I really was spoiled :) Thanks Dru *hugs* </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Last but not least we would like to say a huge Thank You to Tom and Leni Bishop who gave us a lot of help and support with a small issue before the show and were as usual professional to the end with all aspects of running the show - we look forward to next time!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835770997657494946noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650355871640038475.post-91584393221773161882011-04-18T14:45:00.000-07:002011-04-18T14:45:29.821-07:00Chicago Part one...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">We were already going to visit Chicago for two weeks before we found out we had a space at the show so here is the post of our first week and a half there. In some ways it was disastrous lol as everything that could go wrong did from a taxi driver in a bad mood when he saw our luggage (we had six cases), lack of visa for mum which had been paid for so we had to pay again at the airport, 3 searches on mum at the airport ( and seeing she is disabled and not in the best of health at all it was no fun), terrible in flight food lol mum had an almost frozen ham sandwich at one point - one perk of being a veggie we didn't get one! Being evacuated from the hotel (at this point we didn't know why) and as nobody came to get mum out Aidy risked taking her in the lift - I took the stairs and had no choice but to leave the hotel as I was ushered outside so we got split up and my friend was on the 20th floor so I had to worry about them all- eventually Aidy and mum managed to find me after about 20m so we were all relieved to say the least. We eventually caught up with Dru who had been interviewed for the local news lol. We arrived at the wrong terminal on the way home and having to get all bags to the correct one (we now had 9 lol) and as we had to take a train with no luggage trolley, I was almost trapped and sent to yet another terminal!!! Excess baggage costs, mum being given a ridiculous seat right at the back of the plane which she had a very difficult time getting to and a very bumpy flight finished the trip... But we made the most of it and all in all had fun! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On the plus side I got to meet one of the nicest people I have the pleasure of knowing so a huge thank you to Dru for showing us around and driving us all over the place :) and the show itself thankfully was the only good luck we had!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We were told they may have a space for us but no promises (we are delighted as when we first asked about this show a few years ago there was a huge waiting list) - Thank you to Tom and </span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial;">Leni for fitting us in!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial;"><br />
Now, we were already heading to Chicago to go to the show and to meet some very special friends who live there so this is a nice bonus although we are a tad bit panicky as we have two huge shows before we even make it to Chicago!! I have informed one friend that we may have to take over their oven to make dolls lol</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial;">On the plus side it has got me feeling all creative and inspired and a huge list of dolls to make has been devised - although I have to say Aidy did go pale when I thrust the list in his direction!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial;"><br />

<br />
We have also launched some new little characters such as the one pictured above and these are available on our website or at the many shows we will be doing this year - so far they have proved very popular but then they are very cute ;)<br />
<br />
We are also working on lots of special dolls for Miniatura and Arnhem, those of you who have been following us for awhile will know we always do a large moving piece for Miniatura - well watch this space for previews of this years work. I think our stand will make a few people smile or at least that is the plan!<br />
<br />
Aidy is also teaching a doll sculpting workshop at the Arnhem show on the 25th March there are a very limited number of spaces left, please contact us if you would like to take part.<br />
<br />
If you are going to either show please come along and say hello it is always nice to see a friendly face. Okay back to work for me these dolls don't dress themselves lol ...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835770997657494946noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650355871640038475.post-2153392709151386272011-02-17T10:43:00.001-08:002011-02-17T12:32:07.173-08:00Milan<div style="text-align: center;"><br />We have just been to the doll house show in Milan - <a href="http://www.miniaturitalia.it/index.html">http://www.miniaturitalia.it/index.html </a><br />We left home early on Friday as we had to fly from Manchester to Zurich and then onto Milan. Everything was running smoothly until the first plane was delayed by 40 minutes which meant when we landed at Zurich our connection was already boarding - a mad dash through the airport, passport control and a second trip through security (which we were really stressed about at the time as we were sure the flight was going to go without us)! When we got to the gate four other people were in the same situation so they sent a minivan to take us to the plane - we did get some unimpressed looks from the other passengers who must have thought we were sidetracked by duty free shops in the airport lol<br /><br />Thankfully the rest of the journey was okay, and after a 3 hour car drive, two planes and a 40 minute train ride we got settled into our hotel and had the most awful food imaginable (it was from a take away lol)<br /><br />The show was held in 3 large rooms, The venue was actually really nice and easy to find and had excellent transport links - it faces Milan Central Station. The organisation of this event was just perfect and you could not ask for better. The tables are well laid out, lots of space for the public, the miniatures were a nice mix and very high quality all in all it was a great event.<br /><br />We had a really good time at the show, had good sales, met lots of lovely people and we are already planning next years trip!<br /><br />Aidy took lost of pictures - enjoy lol<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPg3fT_URi7gpaLLS6nvn9Kpj8K1h0_UKq-E68sDPL3Btx35G-2y7gu8xXpJ64wGpe6SZreVA_z8srnuh-yzOB4JD2fiBbkC5djHs7bXD3kzobkElBsedG9BctSMQshqwZvTn-cQ00LXc/s1600/dolls+1362.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Firstly we lost Internet and phone connection for an entire month - was no fun at all - this has resulted in us having to change providers and thus our phone number - we do however have the same email address!<br /><br />Then we decided it would be fun to be ill so we had a nasty flu type bug for 3 weeks (this started on Christmas eve) and the after effects lasted a few weeks making work the last thing we wanted to face.<br /><br />I had booked mum and dad into a hotel near us so we could go shopping in the sales and mum had a fall in the hotel, broke her leg in two places, had emergency surgery and ended up in intensive care so we had all of new year going to and from the hospital spending 6 hours a day there as the round trip was 2 hours and we wanted to be with her for all the visiting hours! Thankfully she was only in hospital for just over a week and has now had her cast off so slowly things are returning to normal!<br /><br />And just to top it all off, we like most of the UK had way too much snow...and with everything going on we actually forgot to go to the Stafford show! We got the dates wrong lol and thought it was a week later than it was! I am using the excuse that I aged in January so it must have messed with my brain a tad bit!<br /><br />So a belated Happy New Year to you all - hope it is a good one for you xx<br /><br />Further post to follow with news of a show we just did in Milan and plans for 2011....Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835770997657494946noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650355871640038475.post-50465228925842694012010-11-29T09:41:00.000-08:002010-11-29T10:32:41.742-08:00York, Snow and some new dolls<div align="center">Well, we managed to beat the weather and get to the York dollhouse fair ...the weather however decided to close in towards the end of the day and I thought we may be sleeping at the venue!

Tired, cold and a little bit stressed but safe and well ;) Cold because our boiler has decided to quit :( so lots of jumpers, hats, gloves, cardigans - I hate being cold -so you get the picture, until the nice man comes to fix it! Tired because we have not stopped for what feels like months and stressed because we have 3 more shows and nothing to sell - okay maybe a bit dramatic but it feels like we have nothing left to sell ;)</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Madrid was cool but not as cold as here, for me it was perfect I hate being too hot too lol I know, I know never happy! We managed to get the best seats on the plane thanks to Helena's determination and we got them on the way back too - I hate flying at the best of times so happy pills and the best seats were the way to go!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">We went on the Friday and settled into the apartment and then trundled along with all our suitcases to find the hotel where the show was being held at. We found this easy as we all remembered where it was from the May trip. Although we were all very tired we were pleased we set up on the Friday as it took the stress out of the weekend.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Helena was in the first room and we were in the larger one - good job too as the room Helena was in was like an oven and everyone looked like they may melt half way through the show! The show was very busy on the Saturday and had a great atmosphere. The first thing we sold was the wizard sweet seller - I was sad to see him go so now have to make another version! Sales were good and steady on the first day although we sold more dolls than fabric which was different to the last show we did - no two shows are ever the same. Sunday was a slower start but still got fairly busy and this time we started to sell the fabrics and it was a slow doll day!! But we had fun, it was worth doing and we shall be back in May!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuEVjYetSek9RwiuP8xsWReOoCvk5DK79AaOVC2y1NjgM9Zr2yovnVZbHpB95DSY8moX5qdiXtwsNJGlmCk341Bu7mzNFUH_tJwpLogSz2O8fMTY6ATNhGDkSVqls9fe3VVl8cqrcqLkM/s1600/madrid+winter+2010+086.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540849056489652850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuEVjYetSek9RwiuP8xsWReOoCvk5DK79AaOVC2y1NjgM9Zr2yovnVZbHpB95DSY8moX5qdiXtwsNJGlmCk341Bu7mzNFUH_tJwpLogSz2O8fMTY6ATNhGDkSVqls9fe3VVl8cqrcqLkM/s320/madrid+winter+2010+086.jpg" /></a> A new look for Aidy?
