It Started With a Hutch

Josie's Wonderland on Etsy

In January of this year, a dollhouse miniature hutch caught my eye on Etsy. It was supposed to be a hutch that a wizard would have and was charming in its detail! Tiny crystal balls, scrolls, a peaked hat and a wand were just a few of the small accessories that this wizard kept. Browsing 'dollhouse miniature hutches" on Etsy brought up the hutch in the picture, (among others) but this one was in my price range and had lots of doors that open! This became one of my very first dollhouse miniature purchases and introduced me to the wonderful Josie!  I also got the hutch below and the beautiful little Siamese, asleep in his bed.

My thought was to decorate these hutches in themes... mixed media art, scrapbooking, stuff like that ... themes that illustrated my own 'big world' interests.

The colours and paint job on this hutch didn't particularly appeal to me, (they are well done, just not my style), but who could resist the unique design? Not me! I figured that I would paint it and fill it with themed accessories, too.

I have had three exquisitely beautiful and loving Siamese in my life, so far: Zero, Dragon and Aries. How could I say no to this tiny kitty? So I didn't!  Having them represented in miniature means so much to me!

So, that's how it all started!
