Hello everyone! You can call me Kay if you would like. I am a college student but I have been into this hobby since middle school. My mom just recently decided to also join the hobby so I made an account to hopefully learn some tips so me and my mom can build a house together. I've never done a house completely from scratch so it should be interesting. Anywho, just wanted to say hi, have a nice day!

Hi! My names Ryder and I need helping picking out my first dollhouse! Here's a little background; when I was about six or seven My grandma and I were looking through a crafting magazine one day and she pointed to a dollhouse and said "I've always wanted to do one of those. It wouldn't be a doll house you played with you'd just look and collect the pieces and make the rooms anyway you'd like." At the time I was young and a doll house you couldn't play with didn't appeal to me. Now I'm older and my other grandmother has passed with much too much left to do in her bucket list. My grandma who is still with us wants a dollhouse, and a dollhouse she shall get. Her birthday is March 18th I have just under 5 months. Let's do this!

Hello there, I introduced myself briefly in the Community Trading area, and gave a website intro HERE , but I'd like to make this one a little more personal. My name's Niccy and I'm 26, from England, UK My background is in Art and Design, after graduating from a Fine Arts course at college in 2005, and up until a year ago my creative flair was capped by my employment - I worked in catering and then onto a nursery (Kindergarden) setting for several years. Due to a family crisis, my mum, who owns an online dollshouse company, called upon me to help whilst my grandfather turned suddenly very ill. I left my Nursery job to be here for the business, and I'm finally able to throw my creative eye into the real world. I am beginning to experiment with polymer clay, and have just purchased a couple of books on making miniature food. My aim is to be confident enough at doing it so they can be included to our site stock and taken to customers worldwide. It's a pretty daunting thought, as I'm such a perfectionist that I'm not sure how this is going to turn out- but i'm up for a challenge! If any of you do mini clay works I'll be grateful of some starting hints and tips! there's an instagram feed on the bottom of our homepage that she what i've been up to. I'm rather pleased with how the eggs turned out, but going to start experimenting a lot more when these books arrive!! I have a 4 year old daughter who was given her first dolls' house by Father Christmas last year. She is absolutely bursting with imagination, and frankly that girl is my world! Good things come in mini packages Hope to get to know some of you lovely folk! Regards, and bye for now! Niccy.

Hello, this is my very first post here as I've only just joined this community forum, so be kind!! My name's Niccy, and I'm 1 third of Magpies-Miniatures.net... Magpies-Miniatures is a family run business, from Near Ulverston, in Cumbria, UK. We are based on the edge of the stunning Lake District, and have a good deal of country air running through our lungs, and we consider ourselves to be extremely lucky to bring our services to you from such a beautiful corner of the world. There are three faces here behind the scenes - Mandy is the business owner, founder, and holds great knowledge in all things miniature. She has been behind the scenes from the very beginning, and with the help of her husband, Jon - is the one responsible for the website!. Jon has been the quietest member of the team, but his talents in computer programming, databases and the fact he's extremely artistic and fantastic at any craft he sets his mind to- he's incredible valuable in our eyes, and those of our business too. The newest member of the team is myself, Niccy. I am the daughter of Mandy and Jon, and hold college qualifications in Art and Design, which is where my passion lies. I have taken on the role of keeping the website updated and looking fresh, with improved stock photography, and dealing with social media. All of us have something different to give to the business, which is why we work so well together as a team, in keeping our business running smoothly, and bringing you the service you'd expect as a customer, which has so many of you returning. We stock dolls' house miniatures from a host of suppliers- including heirloom-quality Jia Yi Miniatures, Bespaq, wallpapers from Jackson's, and furniture and accessories from Streets Ahead, Warwick Miniatures, plus fabulously impressive self-build (DIY) kits from McQueenies, and Phoenix Models. If you are looking for something specific and are struggling to find it, again please get in touch and we can have a scout around our suppliers to find what you are looking for. We will always go the extra mile for each and every one of our customers. We hope you enjoy looking around our webstore, find us at www.magpies-miniatures.net I will be popping on to the forums again soon to participate elsewhere, but for tonight my bed's calling!! Goodnight folks, hope to wake to some replies and friendly waves! - Niccy
