A little story and some Winners ~

Good Evening! I first have a silly little story and then the winners of draw # 4. Thank you for your kind comments, I am feeling a bit more human today. Annie has been out in the compost pile eating cucumber peels so life is good LOL. On to my story and then the Winners, I know you will just scroll down to check first but that is fine with me. On with our story...

When we were last at 3 Moons Hattie was stuck on the roof. Nigel scaled the wall and grabbed Hatttie from the roof. Safe inside the shop we find out the young witches made Hattie's broom disappear  from under her when she was taking a little ride. Young witches and wizards are not allowed to practice magic until they are throughly schooled. Bad news for Tiffany and Ella , Minerva was there to witness this little faux pau...oh my. Nigel makes sure Hattie is intact after falling 100's of feet from the sky.

Minerva gives the young witches a good talking to...hope this sinks in.

Tiffany and Ella apologize to Hattie and promise they will never do this again... Hattie assures the girls she was once a young witch and having a wand and knowing spells is mighty tempting.

At Vulture's Roost there is a strange person at the door, I hope he isn't wearing this because I have a cold. Stay tuned to see who knocks at the door.........

And the Winner of the Owl giveaway is Fabiola! Congratulations Fabiola! Please contact me through my etsy shop with your address :) Dark Squirrel

The Winner of the House of Miniatures Desk kit is Rebecca Young! Congratulations Rebecca! Please contact me through my etsy shop.

That is it for now. I will be back later or in the morning with the new drawings.

Hugs,
Victoria

We need Answers!

Yoo Hoo is there anyone here??? Minerva has looked everywhere, the shop seems to be empty ~

Tiffany peeks in the window giggling at the dilemma  of the missing shop keeper ~

The little witches go into the shop to see if they can stir the pot a bit ~

All of a sudden a big black toothsome wolf bursts in the door! Have no fear Nigel is here.

Nigel wants to know where is Hattie? She was keeping the shop to earn money for a wedding dress and now she has disappeared  Nigel is going to get to the bottom of this!

There is a small cry from the roof top... Is that Hattie? Why is Hattie on the roof?

Stay tuned tomorrow as the story unfolds.

Tiffany, Ella and Minerva McGonagall were made by friend Nicky CC

Nigel and Hattie were made by me for Vulture's Roost, my haunted house.

See you tomorrow for the Spooky drawing and later in the day another post with the new drawing. Thank you to my followers for your kind comments and a Big Welcome to new followers.

I Demand Service!

The shop cats Spooky and Boo. Boo the white glow in dark cat was a gift from my daughter ~

Just so you know, we carry the finest Snake Oil ~

Who just walked into the shop? She looks so familiar ~
 

This witch needs help fast and the shop keeper is no where in sight...come to think of it, I have not seen anyone minding the shop!

Tiffany and Ella are out on the porch giggling up a storm, what could they be up to?

Today on our visit to 3 Moons we might have an irate customer. We are know for our excellent customer service so I do hope we can get this sorted out....where could the shop keeper be?

Our little drama will continue tomorrow........ Don't forget to enter my Spooky draw for Friday.

3 Moons ~ Welcome to the shop

Come on in and step up to the counter. 

We offer potions and notions, everything a witch or wizard could need ~ 

The main display table in the middle of the shop. My daughter gave me this vintage table. I  couldn't resist putting one of my witch books and bat stands on the table.

I am using this shop to display some of the many gifts from mini friends, my favorite mini artist's work and some of my own ~

My friend Julie made this broom holder ~

A dark corner ~

No matter what don't forget to Keep Calm and Carry a Wand ~

A view of the shop inside. I still have a lot to add as I dig stuff out that I put away until I had the perfect place for it. The shell of the shop was an inexpensive kit that had been finished into a Christmas house. The house had some serious problems but I had a vision of what it could be so I gutted the inside and cut out the top floor to form a shelf to display my collection. I only used supplies I already had to finish the shop, the walls inside and out are coated with spackle mixed with paint. The floor is just a pattern I printed out and glued to the floor, everything was then given my aging treatment.
This dollhouse was found in a thrift store that benefits Hospice where my Mother volunteers once a week. My Mother is 82 years old so I will always treasure this little house she found and sent me.

First off I guess you want to know who won the first draw....you will have to wait till the next post later tonight.....Trick or Treat.

Hugs,
Victoria

Yikes...3 Moons seems to be full of snakes.
 I have now come to accept snakes as a good thing on my property as they eat mice and are harmless, at our attitude we have no venomous snakes.
I had to make myself not be startled when I happen on a snake. My cat Tigger used to keep the snakes away from the house but now that he is gone there are a few garter snakes about. Last year I kept seeing the same snake out in the garden so I named him Stanley, I would always look for him when I went to the garden. This spring I saw him right off and was pleased to see he had grown bigger, for the next two months I would see him almost every time I went out. In August I quit seeing Stanley, we had a really hot dry summer so he must have moved down to the creek that runs behind our house. I really miss seeing him and am so proud of myself for overcoming my fear of snakes. Now you know when you see snakes in my work I am thinking of Stanley.

3 Moons is named for my daughter, grandson and myself as we are all born under the sign of Cancer. I am thrilled with the great job  Katie did on designing and making the sign. You will notice there are things in threes throughout the shop. I still have a lot of work to do inside and out, I just wanted to have it ready for October. I will start showing the inside and tell the story of the building which was a gift from my Mother.
