Kensington Dolls House Preview 2012...

Good evening everyone!
 I have so much to share, but so little time as the clock on the wall in the Petite Properties’ office is telling me that there isn’t much time left for me to compose this (rather bedraggled) 11th hour Kensington Preview… but I will try!
 

Pictured here are just a small selection of the 1:24th dolls houses which we will have on (or under) the PP stand this weekend.
Alongside our two brand new 1:48th dolls house kits: The Railway Inn and Traveller’s Rest, we will also be launching a wide range of new furniture kits in both 1:24th and 1:48th scales!

Kensington Dolls House Festival Preview 2012..!

Good afternoon everyone!
A brand new week brings with it a preview of a brand new 1:48th Basic House Kit which Mr Bea and I will be officially launching at next month's Kensington Dolls House Festival!

'The Railway Inn' 'is inspired by the Victorian era, when the steam railway was the life line of the UK. The Inn is a handsome three storey property with an unusual corner aspect under a half hipped roof; ideal for the end of any quarter scale street scene!

The kit consists of a precision cut carcass, full colour instructions and includes pre cut (double aspect) shop frontage, inset door, windows, glazing and internal chimney breasts.

'The Railway Inn' has  three internal rooms and the kit is priced at only £27.99.

Kensington Dolls House Festival Preview 2012..!

Good afternoon everyone!
I thought it would be fun to end the week with a sneak preview of a new 1:48th Basic House Kit which Mr Bea and I will be officially launching at next month's Kensington Dolls House Festival!

'Traveller's Rest' follows in the footsteps of our previously released (and much loved) Toadstool Cottage, Candlewick House and of course the award winning Yule Tide Christmas Shop.

In addition to the precision cut carcass and full colour instructions, this comprehensive new quarter scale dolls house kit also includes; pre cut beams, doors, glazing and 'pre cast' steps & chimney stack!
'Traveller's Rest' has four internal rooms and the kit is priced at only £29.99.

...and the winner is?

We are delighted to share the news that last Friday our 1:48th ‘Rosebud Cottage’kit was announced as the winner of the Reader's choice Best Dollhouse or Building kit 2012!!!

To be honest Mr Bea and I were totally surprised as we thought we had come 2nd, but it seems that when the polls closed the results were audited and corrected and the final positions within some categories changed, with some results different to what had been expected - this included the ‘best building kit / dolls house category’...So to say that Tony and I were taken a back is an understatement!!
 
We therefore just wanted to once again say a HUGE thank you to EVERYONE who took the time to vote for ’Rosebud Cottage’ and also to say a very big ’thank you’ to our all our customers, friends and colleagues who have emailed us privately with good wishes and congratulations!


Mr Bea and I have been truly overwhelmed by all the excitement and we are of course delighted (albeit pretty shocked too) to have won for the second year in a row!

So once again many thanks to you all for not only your continued support of our kits, but also for your unerring enthusiasm for the smaller scale miniatures we create!
The future is bright…
The future is ‘smaller scale’ miniatures and we can’t wait to release what’s coming next!

Bea & Tony Broadwood

It's beginning to look a lot like... Miniatura!

Hello everyone!!!
1:24th Double Fronted Shop - £114.99

Well the chaos which currently surrounds me can mean only one thing…
Spring Miniatura must be just around the corner...!!!

Here in PP HQ our stocks of midnight oil have been officially depleted and my desk is littered with more ‘to do’ lists than even Santa’s elves could manage!
The Petite Properties’ workshop and office both resemble crime scenes and our poor little cottage has been invaded by boxes and crates; each packed with stock in readiness for the forthcoming show! 


1:24th Church Lane Cottages - £99.99

For Mr Bea and I, Miniatura is always the highlight of our show season and once the dust from the (inevitable and unavoidable) pre show panic has settled, we both very much look forward to our bi-annual pilgrimage to the NEC, Birmingham… and this spring is no exception..!
 

1:24th Laundry Cottage - £99.99

We are also very excited as we will be launching a record number of new kits, spanning all three of the smaller scales - so we are confident that we will have something for everyone and every pocket!
1:24th Post Office Cottage - £74.99






So whilst we make our final chaotic preparations for this coming weekend’s show, we thought you might all enjoy a little preview of the miniatures which we will be showcasing this year on the Petite Properties stand...
so if you would like further information about our Miniatura Stock - simply visit our website -

We look forward to seeing you at the show, where we can be found (looking slightly frazzled) on stand: D3
Safe travelling!
