Shhhh - want to know a secret?

I haven't told Peter yet but along with the Flower Pot Cottage from Petite Properties I also ordered another house kit today - the Story Book Cottage from Suzanne and Andrews!  I wasn't overly impressed with this cottage at first; in its unadorned state it looks rather severe. But then I saw it decked out with a garden and such, and fell in love with it.  After humming and ha-ing for a long time, I relented and - well, there it is!   Yet another one to add to my stash. Sorry the photo is not very clear - this is how it comes when I copy it from the site.  Shame.  But the second one, with the rose vine around the door, gives a bit better idea.

 Again, as it seems with all of these little cottages, there isn't a great deal of room inside, so it is not a major project to decorate them like it can be with a 1:12th scale house - or like the Victorian semi-detached house that I will be building from scratch along with a friend long-distance (Hi Jan in Bundy!!).  But it is sweet and has the appeal of a quaint old-fashioned cottage.

 So now I had really better get a move on with my minis and instead of telling you what I have bought and plan to do, start telling you more about what I have done lol!
