The holidays have really messed up my mini routine!  :D  But, the break also makes for renewed enthusiasm when the routine starts again.  In the meantime, I have acquired a few wonderful items in the past couple of months that I thought I would share with you to bridge the gap.  Some are for the Heritage and some will end up elsewhere.

First up, a beautiful green striped Bespaq sofa and matching chairs.  Dejoux Miniatures had an awesome sale right before Christmas, and since I've had my eye on these for some time now, I took the plunge.  I added a Bespaq coffee table to complete the set, though it needs a touch of color correcting to match better.

Quite honestly, I'm considering breaking up the set to use the pieces in separate projects.  I could see a fine study with the two chairs (more books!).  The chairs somewhat overpower the sofa when used as a whole set.

The sofa is beautiful and a perfect standalone piece.  It could be easily coordinated with wood carved accent chairs.

Next, a beautiful peacock box made by C. Rohal.  The detailing is superb!  So delicate.  I think this will be for the vanity in the Heritage bedroom.

Yes, it opens!

Another lovely vanity item is this black turned bottle with an aluminum stopper by CW Lubin - the same person who made the lovely orange bowl and vases I have in the parlor bookcase.  And, a gorgeous lamp from Art of Mini...a perfect vanity light for the Heritage, I think.  :D

It's currently a non-replaceable bulb, so I'll swap that out for a replaceable socket before I install it.

The next item is not a purchase but a lucky find...sometimes the best kind of mini.  I went to Lyssa's wedding in Florida and then took a day to vacation before returning home.  When I returned to the hotel one night, this card caught my eye.  It's a business card made with vintage playing card imagery.  It had been run over a bit but the gloss finish is intact.

It reminds me of an old metal sign you'd see on the side of a building.  :D  Into the mini stash it goes!
