New paper design at my shop

It's been quite some time now that I want to craft realistic looking papers for dollhouse settings.  I think there isn't just enough of them - specially if you are like me, and don't have an ordinary looking house that can get by with things such as romantic letters or cute notepads.  I bought a set of printable parchment witchy papers from Vectoria Designs for my own dollhouse, and they are just so irresistible that I wanted to share what I created with them.

I made a couple of box holders for my dollhouse' shop to showcase them to customers:

But then, I thought most people would not care for that, so I turned them into pretty pagan stationery:


If your house has a witch or wizard, they would probably welcome them!  You can find them in my shop.

Dollhouse miniature desk for witch or wizard available in my shop


I love, love, love this desk!  It has been sitting in my own dollhouse for 12 years, but it's time for it to go to a new caring home.

To bid him good bye I have dressed it thoroughly with paper goodies and writing materials, and it will look awesome in any setting; I designed it for a witch or wizard home and it has some unicorn drawings on the table, but you can stuff those in a drawer and you will have a beautiful piece suitable for any house.
This is a wood desk with 5 working drawers and includes everything you see.  Even the drawers have some stuff in them:


Obviously, since I made this with one of my own pieces, this design is one of a kind, and once it is gone, there will be no more like it.  It is waiting just for you in my shop.

New book design

This is a new book design for all fans of witches and wizards out there. It has the same size of all my books, but this one has parchment pages - real parchment, not dyed paper. The cover mimics the look of a dragon skin, and a claw or fang holds the book closed. And it can be opened, of course!
This design had been running around in my head for some time, and yesterday I was able to bring it to reality :)
Hope you like it! It is already available in my shop.

Labels for your jars

It's amazing how a tiny detail such a simply label can improve the appearance of an object.

When I begun to create the magic studio for my vampire dollhouse occupant, I used the famous trick to stain white regular paper with an used tea bag to give a label the feeling of antique parchment. This was the result:

And so this was the appearance of all my glass jars.

But then came Dead Spider. I had followed her work for a long time, since before last Halloween, and I was delighted when she became part of the Etsy's Dark Side Street Team, from which I am a member too. Her labels were fang-tastic! Unfortunately for me, I had no use for them, since I don't have a curiosities cabinet. But then one day she posted in her shop a sheet of miniature labels! I couldn't resist, and wrote to her, asking if it was possible to customize the labels with titles of my choice. She was very accomodating with my request, made them for me and send them.

I was so happy when I opened the mail box today and found an envelope with her name! The labels were delicious, and I couldn't resist to apply a couple of them to my jars to share them here:

Much better now, right?
It's a happy coincidence that we both like to use the same font for the labels!

And to think I still have 18 labels more to play with... I'm going to have so much fun this weekend!
