Hello! David and I are in the Royal George in Staithes at the end of a lovely day. Bless them, they have wireless internet here! I've got a pint of cider and I'm just going to post a bit about the topic dearest to all our hearts, MINIS!

| The Miniature Scene on Fossgate in York |
I had an AMAZING time at
The Miniature Scene in York on Saturday! For everyone who told me what a wonderful shop it was, I just have to agree :)
We parked near the Black Swan in York, leaving Mum comfortably ensconced with a pint while David walked up to Monk Bar Model Shop and I walked across to Fossgate.
Friendly, knowledgeable people and a really marvellous array of minis, it was a dream come true!
Here are some photos from the inside of the shop:
 |
| I love the little vignettes they have set up all over the shop! |
 |
| Gorgeous Jacobean chairs and table |
 |
| Dolls by The Giddy Kipper -- sorry for the glare, but they're all in a glass case! |
 |
| Wonderful assortment of food and pewter. |
 |
| I really love the bowed windows on the front of this house :) |
 |
| Great witch! Look at the size of that cauldron :) |
 |
| Great Dr Frankenstein |
 |
| I love houses from the humble .... |
 |
| To the very grand! |
 |
| And this church is really lovely ... |
As soon as I get a chance I'll take some photos of the pieces I bought here and in Chesterfield!

I have bought so much from this man! Sadly only online! Huge thanks for the photo's of this fantastic shop, it makes me want to drive up for a long visit as he has such amazing mini's!
ReplyDeleteI see you spied a Sid Cooke house (the double bow fronted one!)! I love the huge cauldron too! ;o))
I hope the weather isn't too bad up North, it's been lovely down here for the last two days, but not as hot as it was. I hope the weather says great for the duration of your visit overhere. ;o))
