New Cupboards and a Giveaway ~

I have been gone from blogland for ages, I hope you will forgive me for not keeping my blog current. First I would like to show my latest cupbords and then tell you about my giveaway ~
This is called Secret Dragon. I really love this cupboard,  it has sold but just wanted to share a picture ~

This beauty is called Clairvoyant's Dresser ~ Done in my favorite purples and greens, I used a lot of vintage jewels and findings on this dresser. There is even a real crystal ball on one of the shelves. The crystals and fire polished beads really catch the light, the pictures just don't do her justice ~

A drawer full of papers, scrolls and a spooky eye book ~

You can see the crystal ball under the vintage glass eye ~ Clairvoyant's Dresser is for sale in my shop Dark Squirrel Miniatures ~ Ugh you can see me in the mirror ~

This is the Snake Charmer ~ she is dressed with an assortment of potion bottles, vintage jewels, snake stampings, candles and several little surprises ~ I finished off the edges with vintage gold braid that has been tarnished ~

The toppings ~ the bottle with the snake is topped with a real crystal ball ~ Snake Charmer is for sale in my shop Dark Squirrel Miniatures ~


Other news I would like to say things have been at a standstill here on minis as I broke my wrist last week, I can hold my camera now so I can at least take pictures.

Vulture's Roost news : The Count is on his way to Wootens Miniatures to be dressed, when he returns we will meet him. Hattie is still staring at herself in the mirror as I write this.

Now for the Giveaway news.....to celebrate 300 followers I am going to have a drawing for 2 books and a few surprises. I will post pictures of the books closer to the drawing. The drawing will be on Friday June first.
To enter my drawing you must be a follower of this blog, you are welcome to share this on your blog or FaceBook but not required. Just leave a comment on this post to be entered ~

Thank you for reading my blog and your kind comments ~
