Woohoo! It's Friday! Which for many means it's time to put your feet
up, watch some really awful programmes on TV, usually involving some
wannabe-celebrities on a talentless show, good old soap operas or reruns
of timeless classics. However, for others- such as myself- it's time to
carry on with business as usual, to ensure you get top quality service
from us here at Magpies Miniatures, and in my "spare" time I'll be
running after my 3 year old diva of a daughter, light of my life of
course, but knows just how to push those buttons on Mummy that make her
truly exhausted. The outcome? Wine. A nice glass of wine. Who's with me?Have you ever thought about creating a bar scene in miniature? Perhaps you run or own a bar or pub, and fancy the idea of a novel little room box representing yourself and your surroundings? Remember, dollshouse miniatures don't have to mean dolls in a house- push the limits of your imagination. Think outside the 'house' if you will, and see what astonishing and novel ideas you can come up with! We'd love to see your photographs too if you have any imaginative projects on the go, please email them over to us using the email address on the contact page, and perhaps you'll get featured on our website too!
Now then, where's the wine?
Ahhh, here we go...
A quick jump on over to the DRINK
section and I've found a lovely bottle of red. Half a dozen of them in
fact, and a steal at only £2.10- that's 35p per bottle! You won't find
that at Asda (Walmart)! Glugging straight from the bottle just isn't
classy enough (not even with a straw), so we definitely need a wine
glass or two to accompany.
Good thing we have this covered at Magpies Miniatures too. Is there anything we haven't thought of?
This double pack of wine glasses is
exactly what I had in mind. As usual, an exquisite attention to detail,
and no cutting back on materials here- these glasses are actually made
of glass! Clink-clink!
Prefer white over red?
Done. (And only £1.27 for a set of 6, making them less than 22 pence each!)
More of a spirits drinker?
Covered.
Beers?
Honestly, there isn't much that hasn't
been thought of within miniatures, when you get looking closer your eyes
really will be opened to the products that are available out there. And
another thing, there's no memory lapses and sheer embarrassment the
next day as occurrances come flooding back to you. Well, nothing that
can't be put down to old age anyway.
If you are interested in creating a bar or pub scene, then we also have a good selection of furniture and accessories available, from tankards and beer mugs, to bar stools and tables. A personal favourite of mine is this corner bar set, with a lovely wooden finish. A nice selection of stools are also available, along with Dart Boards, Billiards and Snooker Tables. Don't forget the corkscrew.
That's all for now. Wishing you all a very
merry (*hic*) weekend. Enjoy the mindless Television, and don't forget
to put your feet up.
- Cheers, from The Magpies Miniatures Team.
