Spring Dolls House Magazines

 Given that magazines aren't cheap now I'm normally selective and just chose my favourite of the months offerings but there are two times of year, Spring and Halloween where I'm easily tempted by the seasonal offerings. Which explains how I've ended up with all three magazines this month. This is the pick of my favourite articles from the magazines.

Ok this first one from Dolls House and Miniature Scene I have to admit isn't very Spring like but it is Vampire's and who can resist one of them. This is a whole article by Jane Kubiesa giving info on our favourite undead characters and showcasing the dolls of Sara Deck of Memento Mori Stories and LoreleiBlu of Camp Gothic. There is also a great article on the Gothic look and a tutorial on making Gothic candles both by Mol Ali. Spring is also evidence via Easter bonnets and the history of Easter English style which is written by Caroline of Hummingbird Miniatures.

This is from Dolls House World magazine and is a look in the house inspired by childhood memories of the Milly-Molly-Mandy stories by Jane Fiddick. I always love looking in other peoples houses and picking up inspirations I can transfer to my own. This one is so homely, I love the cottage style. Love so much about it but really like the small photo of the hall coats and thinking I need to make some space for outdoor attire. Also loved the Easter showcase showing the various makers and their spring delights. There is also a tutorial for a wire chair by Vera Blair that I want to have a go at.

Finally is this one from The Dolls House Magazine. I totally love the desks made by Caroline Dickens which are featured, everything from a family historians desk to one based on Sherlock Homes. I love desks and I can't think of a house I haven't got one in but I've still picked up loads of inspiration from this article. I now want to make Sir Percival a new desk dedicated to his dinosaur hunting activities, though whether it will end up in Sir Percival's home or the museum I'm not sure. This issue is also packed to the brim with floral and pastel spring looks, I had a hard time picking just one page to show, the Wiltshire cottage feature by Katie Holloway was a shabby chic delight.
