Thank you!! -

The trunk is somewhere between grey and brown. I mix at random and fine-tune until I get there since there isn't a good color straight out of the bottle.© brae oktober

I have the tree painted and detailed, and I separated the foliage branches from two bundles of candytuft. Too bad I can't just say "alakazam" and have the foliage appear on the tree.© brae oktober

Hi, Kayla - I replied to your PM.

I originally intended to build a working window for the front, but after considering that the small space would make it difficult to actually operate the window, I opted for faking the window instead. I cut a front following the cardboard template from the mock-up and then built the trim to fit. I will enclose acrylic sheet inside the window frame during final assembly. No sense in risking marring the acrylic as I continue to work. Even though the window doesn't operate, I did add the holes for the horse reins.© brae oktober

I used some packaging kits from Looking Glass Miniatures for parts and will get to what I did with the boxes portion in a later post. For parcels, I wrapped wood blocks in the kit's kraft paper and twine, using old labels found online. Obviously, parcel post labels are harder to find than old letters and postcards as the wrapping would usually have been discarded.© brae oktober

Our rural post office has good cabinets and a postal teller in newish condition, but the desk and chair are hand me down pieces. They are still perfectly usable, after all. The Chrysnbon Victorian chair kit was a gift. The desk is adapted from a table pattern in the book Finishing Touches by Jane Harrop. I beat it up with every tool on my work table. Look at that delightfully ratty finish!© brae oktober

Love the "attic" room but yeah, that's way too high of a price.

Just a few areas to touch up and we're ready to sprout foliage!© brae oktober

Looks like everything will fit well with just enough room for baseboards and window trim. Whew!© brae oktober

Nice! Care to make a friendly wager on a game or two? -

Making another tree this year. I like how the tall tree forces the perspective. Jebediah looks more in scale with the tree in place.© brae oktober

Galloway House - great mini inspiration
otterine commented on otterine's gallery image in Members' Gallery
I'm not sure of the reference you mean. This house is an historic property in Wisconsin. -
Yep! I always use that as my comparison.

Behold Sabu the Prognosticator. I have no idea why I needed a clairvoyant reptile in a wizard's hat, but I'm guessing he knows. I'm pretty sure he needs an amulet, perhaps some stars on his hat. And, a silk bed. by Debbie Rundle - found at the Wee "c" Miniature Show© brae oktober

It pays to dig in the bins and have good magnifying glasses on! Probably not really to scale, but too cute! from Debbie Rundle - found at the Wee "c" Miniature Show© brae oktober
