We were a little disappointed to see that a some of our favourite artisans weren't attending, and (we went on the second day) that it didn't seem terribly busy - having both been long-standing fair standholders we know of course what that feels like! However it meant we were able to enjoy ourselves looking at all the super work on offer in comfort rather than a scrum, and chat to old friends.
Two artisans that create just delightful miniatures, so I felt like a kid in a sweetshop as I struggled to decide which of their beautiful items to choose, were Emma Jane and Ottervale. In the end Emma Jane's golly was perfect for my toy cupboard....and the teeny weeny squirrels by Ottervale China could not be resisted. Both will be at Kensington in December so I shall have to go back and see them again. Both items are really 'miniature' so apologies for the less that perfect photographs.
Lots of other lovely things to drool over of course, and as ever, lots to inspire.
Sadly my favourite car boot fair has now closed until next year but I did spot a tiny metal eastern figure that will look great on a little shelf.
Mother Nature brings us little treats......diamond droplets on a dainty plant and even in a built up area without huge open skies, a sunset to rival any.
Thank you for looking
Robin

Hi Robin! I'm glad to read that you've enjoyed the Autumn Miniatura Show at Birmingham, and even came back home with new treasures :)! I love each one of your new miniatures, as much as I love your pictures of your beautiful garden and the sunset.
Hugs, Ilona
It is always a sad feeling when some of the vendors which you were anticipating are not in attendance at the show, however, you did come home with some Very Special Mini Treasure and I think that they're Lovely!
I especially like the little china squirels! Your Golly and the statuette from the car boot fair are also delightful!
The coral colored flowers echo the sunset which is such wonderful way to end the day; who could ask for anything more? :D
