And welcome to Jenny too

Hi Jenny, welcome and thank you for becoming my newest follower on this blog.  I hope you had the time to have a bit of a look around and that you enjoyed what you saw.  Please do come again.  I found Jenny's blog (http://jennsminis.wordpress.com/category/half-inch-scale) when a friend, Esther, gave me the link, saying she had found another Fairfield link.  I loved what I saw so much that I had to go right back to the

beginning of the posts about Jenny's Fairfield and I read all the way through to the newest post.  Then I spent ages looking (and yes, I did leave comments) at posts about other projects.  

Jenny does lovely work and her finished projects are simply beautiful - she adds lots of accessories that really add realism to her rooms.  I must learn from the example of people who do this, to give my projects more charm.  So far I have often neglected this aspect because I have moved on to other projects.  And only going to a miniature show once a year (or once every few years lately), I am not being exposed to those little extras that you see at fairs and just know that they belong to a particular scene.  I hope I will get to next year's fair - the ferry from Tasmania arrives in Melbourne on 1st May (early in the morning) and it is around a 10 hour drive if you don't take a break, from Melbourne to Sydney.   It will take us two days, towing the caravan and taking brief breaks for lunch etc.  Peter and I will alternate driving, doing stretches of 2 hours each.  The Sydney fair is on 3rd & 4th May, with setup taking place on 2nd May if you are displaying.  Hmmmmm.
