Leni

Here is the other little one that I managed to dress this week! Leni is 2 1/4". She has leather shoes too! I made a little footstool for her from the top of a bottle. Someone shipped something to me inside this top and I thought it was the perfect size for a stool!

KATIE

Here is one of my newest sculptures. I have tried my hand at an older chid. She would be about 3 1/2" to 4" if standing. She has leather Mary Jane shoes!!

MORE GATHERING

Here are the exquisite chairs and sofa that I purchased from Kris Compas
Her work is Stunning!!! Every portion of this furniture is so well made and spotless! If you are in the market for any upholstered furnishings for you dollhouses she is the best! You can put in a request for the design you want and also send her fabrics that you would like her to use! I was so amazed when these pieces arrived. They are perfect 1:12th size and Wonderful!!! And the added bonus is that her prices are so affordable!!!
