A visit to Leonardslee in print

Many of you will know about the lovely miniature exhibition in Leonardslee gardens (UK), which were, alas,  closed to the public some years ago.

Recently, however, its creator, Helen Holland, has written a book about it. It is great fun to read! There are many pics in it, too, and although tiny, they are excellent , and every miniaturist will have a magnifier, I think, so you can study them at your leisure. Absolutely recommended reading for every lover of miniatures.

Helen kindly permitted me to snag the pic of the cover, so here goes :

You can acquire it from her site here.

Minimousehouse book

This is getting out of hand !!!

With some transatlantic teamwork Lee Ann Borgia and I have worked together to produce a miniversion of the critter house book. As expected, Lee Ann did a  wonderful job .

Here they are together:

and here is a bown up pic of part of the miniature book by Lee Ann:

It is sooooo sweet!!
If you decide your dolls cannot live without this valuable piece of literature, you can buy the miniversion from Lee Ann directly at her site

So three options now : miniature (Lee Ann) , hard copy ( i.e. paperback or hard cover ) and Ipad/Ipod version, all RL versions are available from this site

Mousehouse goes hi -tech

Yesterday evening I decided to have a go at making the booklet for sale as an ebook version . For now, this is only possible for Ipad and Ipod, but the publishers seem to be working at making it accessible for other devices, too. I set the price as low as I dared (since I have to cover my costs for registering, and possible costs from Apple, too),and a friend of mine, Marja in the UK, downloaded it yesterday. It worked ! For now, it is only the English version that is available, but if anyone is interested in the Dutch version, do let me know and I will try to set that up, too. Here is the link where you can buy and download from. EDITED : this afternoon I also made the hard copy (paperback or hard cover) available for the non-paddo's . You can order a book directly from the site, they make the books up as they are ordered and an order for just one book is fine. Go to the same site and you can order the paperback from there.

Dutch version ready to go

Some people asked me about a Dutch version of my humble booklet on the mouse house. It came today ( Blurb is fantastically fast )

If you read Dutch , you can read it here .

The English version can  be viewed here
