And so it began....




Many moons ago, long after I had started creating houses and interiors in miniature, I discovered little characters to adorn my scenes. Starting with my first 12th scale doll... 'The Flower Seller' which I bought from the very talented Julie of Bellabelle Dolls   my collection has grown and continues to grow to this day.

Then during a recent email conversation with a fellow miniaturist, the idea for me to have a blog purely to showcase my fabulous character dolls and the links to their makers was born.

So here we are, my Wizards and Wands blog, named after my favourite 12th scale possession, wonderfully made by my husband.... my Wizards and Wands Bookstore! It seemed very apt to use this name as many of my characters are wizard or witch based ... and because I have used wands in the name, I can now show my little wands and wizardly purchases here too :)

So, enough waffling and let's get on with meeting my 12th scale characters, starting with the Vicar!





The vicar was beautifully made for me by Julie of Bellabelle Dolls back in roughly 2007!

The vicar is always found in my 'Olde Abbey' where you can also find...

Mr and Mrs Clickett....




Bought from Margmurphy on Ebay, Mrs Clickett came first and used to be the Post office lady.. until I sold the Post Office!




Then along came Mr Clickett with his evening read...




and Pete the parkie, who I have yet to photograph!!


Some time later, the inhabitants of Victorian Villa arrived!


I bought the little chimney sweep in Miniatura and he sits in front of the Range fire toasting his bread....




Keeping him company or rather snoring loudly is the cook.... a very lucky ebay find!





Whilst upstairs in the nursery, a little baby sleeps sweetly....
