The Church

One of the things that I saw repeatedly this trip, was churches! I'm not a church person myself, But I Love buildings....and there's something about a church that really makes me smile.

As with most of my bigger birdhouses, this one is hollow, too!

The windows and doors were stamped using a carved pencil eraser.... I use these a lot! And leave the pencil attached~ it will give you something to hold on to.

I have 2 more of these to finish before I can list them..... and I'm definitely keeping one for myself:)

I can't say the idea was totally mine.... I used this picture as a guide. But isn't that what minis are all about....recreating in miniature what you love in the real world?! And I love this Church!! I love how it's sitting on an end table with the flowers and those little jugs! It's going to be perfect in The Painted Lady! (I'll have to get pics of the glass house so you can see what a mess it is...I have way to much in it, but love everything too much to take anything out. lol.....sounds like my real house:)

Oh, and the title of the book that it came out of is Better Homes and Gardens~ Cottage Style.

Until Next Time..........
