The Language of Flowers  ;) !

After the climbing plants and flowers, lets speak about the flower beds which are bringing so much life and colour to the little world of Regent St.

Available in every shape and form, miniature flowers are an enchanting world that never ceases to fascinate you once you have opened the magical door  :love:

I have used the same supplier for years, MyTinyWorld, for its truly amazing choice of accessories on a 1/12th scale, with a special mention to their wonderful range of flowers, beautifully crafted and which have stood the test of time as they look as beautiful and fresh today as they did when I first purchased them years ago.

Flower Beds and other vegetal beauties ( which all will be featured in the Regent St gardens )








Cost : from 4.OO Euros for a flowerbed to 8.OO to an elaborate flower composition in an urn. Perfectly Playmocompatible

Same flowers "in situ" in my previous diorama

Laying the grounds  ;)!

Ground covers such as grass for lawn areas or soil for orchard or vegetable plots add unity and a realistic effect to the outside grounds of a diorama and must be selected with care.

Soil Effect Self Adhesive Carpet Sheet



Cost : 2.29 Euros per sheet and measures 333mm x 433mm

Grass Lawn Effect Self Adhesive Carpet Sheet



Cost : 5.5O Euros for a generous size sheet which measures 500 mm x 335 mm

Laying the grounds of my previous diorama

Dear Karim,

the colors of your grass and soil is so perfect!

I know, there are lots of self adhesive grass carpets at doll house shops, can you tell us, which one you are using for you grass and soil?

The colors are matching so realistic.

Return to Regent St !

Good afternoon dear Friends  :wave:

I was eager to try this brick adhesive printed sheet and I must say that I am quite happy with the test I did this afternoon on the outside of the victorian kitchen or should I say :

Monsieur Firmin & Miss Periwinkle présents

Laying Bricks has never been so easy !








I will have completed the outside of the Mansion by the week-end and I am happy to say that the result has exceeded my expectations  :love:
