Preview of Our New Kits

Finally, I've seen the first robin of Spring, the tulips are poking up, and the brown snow is disappearing! It has been a long, but productive Winter. Mr. T2S and I are looking forward to sharing what we have been working on during those bleak months. 

Here is a preview of the new things that we will be bringing with us to the Chicago International Show, (April 19-21). These new items will be added to the website soon after the show. Hope to see you in Chicago!

So Sweeeeeet!

I am enthralled by vintage valentines. I find their designs, colors, and text irresistibly charming! So, I decided to celebrate the season of love by capturing the nostalgic feel of those vintage valentines in this decorated hutch.  Of course, the scene wouldn't be complete without a few luscious chocolates and a lighted glitter house!

Kits for Valentine's Day are available from true2scale.com

Cupcakes pops from Kim's Mini Bakery.

I wanted to give the glitter house a sweet, alluring look...in a Betty Boop sort of way. See the rosy cheeks and detailed mouth? Tiny window awnings give the appearance of eyelashes. A path made of heart-shaped pavers leads up to the door and the heart-shaped base is decorated with a fence with the tiniest details. Perhaps it's a bit over-the-top; but isn't that what Valentine's Day is about?

I hope your Valentine's Day is extra sweet (and a little spicy too)!

New - La Boutique Bleue Kits

I'm so excited to share with you the debut of a new collection, La Boutique Bleue! The 1:12 scale shop window vignette and kits were inspired by my collection of photos of beautiful Parisian shop windows.

Since I can't have a room in my home filled with blue and yellow, I've created it in miniature!

La Boutique Bleue Collection is available on my website. Please check out the other new items that have been added.

Progress on the French Boutique Kits

Progress on the French boutique window vignette has been slow. Ok, really slow (I started it in February!). There is much to do yet: signage, painting, electrifying, and the addition of the new kits (not shown in the photo). The vignette with all of the accessory kits will debut at the National convention in Charlotte, at the end of this month. 

The progress on the French boutique window vignette.

During the development process of the vignette, I had an idea to make a kit for an Eiffel Tower chocolate display. The kit will be available in 1/12, 1/24, and 1/48 scales; and may be completed with optional items to make your own bon bons. If you can't travel to Paris for your bon bons, soon you may be able to enjoy them in miniature!

A Study in Bleue

I was feeling inspired by the giant forsythia bush in my garden. These will be part of a new collection of kits.
