the Olde Curiosity Shoppe

2/24/2020

I decided to participate in a 'Curiosity Shoppe' challenge last week, so set one up on the dining room table. For inspiration I used the Dickens story about a girl and her grandfather who lived in a Curiosity shop. After setting up some walls, and placing some furniture, I filled the shop with all kinds of things there might have been back in Victorian times.....

I chose Holly to be the 'granddaughter'....and started taking photos....

Her grandfather is working on fixing an old Knight puppet...

I LOVE this! Especially the jar of glass eyes, which made me laugh out loud. So creative! Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness, I love this shop! How do you have so many wonderful tiny things? Everything fits together nicely. I love the penguin in the pram.

I've been saving up props for years, so it was easy to fill the shop. I thought a stuffed penguin would make a good curiosity, and what better place to store it than in an old pram?

It's a wonderful Curiosity Shoppe!! There are so many tiny details... even a glimpse of a customer outside the shop window! I love how Holly is watching her grandfather so intently.

It must have been so much fun to put this scene together... and so much work to put all those little things away again :o)

This is marvelous! Delightful and very realistic too (reminds me of my favorite out-of-the-way antique shops). : )
