Welcome to the Smallwood Village Magazine - especially for dolls house enthusiasts.
If you have just stumbled across our site, which quite a lot of people seem to do, here is a guide to what the site is about.
Our miniature project is called "Smallwood Village" and as well as Smallwood Hall you can also visit the Village Library at our Estate Agent. In addition to this we have mini-stories about our Smallwood Village characters.
Our Links section consists of a variety of websites which have mostly been recommended by our readers and which we also consider to be of interest and a great source of information and supplies - just click "Links" in the menu on the left to go to the list.
Miniature Fairs are always enjoyable events and we give links to Fair information in our "Fairs" section.
For beginners we have mini-projects using everyday items, click on "Tips".
If any of our readers want to display their own projects then we invite them to use our "Showcase".
Have fun - and please feel free to call again anytime.
Our tip for beginners - Paving Stones. Make your own paving stones like the ones we have used at Smallwood Hall - i.e. the terrace and the laundry floor.
