Spot the kitty this ..
There he is!
(Yes, he did somehow fit in through that tiny hole and actively complained when I tried to move the top box to "let him out", just check out that death stare🤣)

We are very proud to share our third workshop at Philadelphia Miniaturia this year!

A Barrow with a Difference
Wednesday, 6 November 2024
Full Day, 9:30am to 4:30pm

Inspired by the Forever Rose cafe in Dubai, this market barrow evokes nostalgic dreams of tea and scones or champagne cocktails served under tall trees. A fun build with a novel style of decoration.

It's pouring and dreary here in South Africa today, so we are keeping snuggled up and warm with our purr-fect winter coat.
