| Sometimes you forget how many sources you get things from. I keep telling myself to keep better track but I'm so bad at that! The main sources are listed. The Street of Shops is pretty easy to assemble - but you first have to do a lot of figuring and measuring to make sure your wallpaper and floor pieces fit right as the shops have to be glued in sections, which personally, I didn't like. The walls were wallpapered before assembly. Since the walls are in sections, I decided to put electric tape on the bottom and up the exterior side walls which were then covered with lightweight Spackle tinted with gray paint. I didn't glue the front wall and haven't seen a need for it. Pieces of painted plastic brick were glued to the exterior wall, with a row added at the bottom of each side. Spackle was then applied around the pieces for the appearance of exposed brick.

Above - Counter: Teapot-shaped sign and box of honey jars (a fun, easy kit) are from Lisa's Little Things. The cake and cupcakes are by Kitty Balke. I made the tea canister with scoop and the tea displays on the bottom shelf. Tea urn from eBay. Painted plates and cups from eBay, unBEEweevable.

Center photos, above: Left table: Tea cake box kits and wood tea box kit, Lisa's Little Things. I made the cookies in the boxes. Cakes by Kitty; I made the black stands. Right table: This was a table from Dollar Tree that I painted and sponge painted on top. I made the fruits and tarts on the plate, and the tea display. The table stands in front of the right side window inside. Teapots (except center) by Kitty. |
Round table above: The dollar store chairs were painted, cushions added and fabric draped over the top for decoration. The table is inexpensive white metal "wicker." Cakes and settngs by unBEEweevable. I painted the Chrysnbon cups and saucers to coordinate. They are filled with Scenic Water tinted with nutmeg color paint. Bottom: Closeup of tea urn and items on front counter.
So how many teapots are there??? Some may be hard to see - there are two on the wall shelf between the left wall cabinet and back wall cabinet. They look like roses. I counted 100 - 102 if you include the teapot charms on the front sign. (And I have more teapots not included. I may add a few more yet.) |
