I have a cute new auction up on Ebay right now.
Harry Potter 1:6 Mandrake spell book set
As I have begun collecting these cool figures by Star Ace studios, aka Big Chief Studios, aka Sideshow Collectibles, (my wallet is not big enough!!) I have come up with countless ideas of accessories for these two. Hermoine still has not come home yet. I really really want Snape and Dumbledore.
Here are some photos of the set. It includes the open Mandrake book, a blank page book, and a glass jar with peppermint candy made of polymer clay.
The auction ends in 5 days!

I haven't paid enough attention to Tony Stark....or my High Visibility Agnes who doubles as Pepper Potts, his girlfriend. So I thought they needed a getaway from saving the world to somewhere sunny and warm...shhh it's top secret and even Tony isn't allowed to say where it is.
Some fun pics just because before I take this diorama down to make way for some new diorama pieces....
It was a very muggy, rainy day yesterday. Had alot to do to get ready for the FR Convention, but instead decided to do some sewing so pulled out some items from my stash. I am still working on the frock coat jacket for this, but the fit on the skirt was fabulous. I altered the pattern a bit to fit Royal Monaco Vanessa...
I have more work to do on this outfit, it was amazing how quickly it went along. I literally made the blouse from scratch and used the embroidered part as a frontal decor- with the open back which is not period correct but looks pretty cool...Ihad to redraft alot of the patterns that I had in my stash. Have been wanting to do another Victorian ensemble, hopefully can do more. Enjoy!~Lisa
Spring has come to Barbietown, as well as the windows at LaBelle's, even if it is still sleeting and snowing here. I have worked on the windows of LaBelle's , re-staging them and going thru accessories and props. Here is a little foretaste of what's to come in Barbietown at LaBelle's.

I have finished the prototypes of the 'Scottish Lassies' from Atelier Lisa and have one full set listed on Etsy right now. I have only listed two full sets, I am still working on the 2nd...right now, there are ONLY 2 sets as I include the resin Scottish Terrier and the dog collar, chain leash and matching dog coat as that is all the dogs I have on hand right now, until I have more come in from the supplier. The dog collars and coats are made to fit this little resin dog, and looks quite cute. I am hoping to find some of the white Westie Scotties, which would add a contrast with that coat.
The collection in the set includes: 1 purse lined, with handmade black tassels and magnetic closures, black braided leather handles. The tote bag is larger, made to resemble a 'weekender' tote so your doll can throw a few things in there and be off for the weekend in these cute little plaid togs. The tote bag is larger, with longer black braided leather handles, and snap closures- this is not lined. It has black cotton accent fabric for the sides and bottom of the tote.
The dog accessories include: 1 resin black Scottish terrier dog, chain leash with red leather collar sized to fit dog with snap closure and leather handle. The dog coat is topstitched in black thread on the fabric for contrast and lined with red leather. A silver buckle on the top of the coat has a red leather strap threaded through it, and snap closure on the bottom/underside is how it fastens.
All items are handsewn, one at a time, by me, the artist. Please understand there will be some variations (not in size) but due to the handmade quality. Also please allow 1-7 days (1 week) if your order is not in stock for me to complete and ship it.
No returns on these items.
NOTE: Right now I am working on more totes and purses and another complete set.
Prices will be :
$75 for complete set as seen above
$25 for the purse
$20 for the Tote bag
$35 for the dog, collar, chain leash, and dog coat (IF I can find more dogs, these will be seperate sets available)
These items will be very limited as I have a very limited supply of the plaid fabric in stock.
Thank you for looking!

I have finally got to a point where photos of my custom project 'LaBelle's boutique have been able to be photographed and uploaded to Flicker. Right now I am still configuring a few details and planning the store displays for the rest of the year- like a real boutique would change their windows with the new fashion lines or seasons.
As to my Ebay store Pumpkin Hill Studios I have put the store on vacation settings on hold until August 31st to catch up on commission work as well as working on my main website King William Miniatures After being in business with the large scale of Bespaq I am coming to an end of the remaining stock we have left in these scales. Therefore, configuring auctions - writing them, photographing damaged pieces, etc and then processing and shipping was taking alot of my time- away from commission work. Please sign up and check my blog King William Miniatures Blog (links to this and my other blog are to the left on the scroll menu) with lowered prices of what I have in stock and my contact info by EMAIL if you wish to order. I will be invoicing via Paypal so when you look at the blog and website pictures, email me with your name, email addy thru paypal and valid shipping address so I can configure your shipping costs. I will probably be putting the remaining damaged items on a fixed price basis with pictures on the blog and the website-(the website software takes a while for me to configure, ) so in depth photos will be on the King WIlliam Miniatures blog.
The furniture has been my passion for about 7-8 years now, as has been my intense love of collecting fashion dolls and diorama builds. I honestly now do not know how I could get thru the day without tweaking, working on something for the dolls, it has become a passion and my mantra or raison d'etre if you will. The constant auctions and configuring of listing on Ebay has somewhat sapped my creativity and has given me a stagnant sense of being on a hamster wheel- that I would rather just devote more time to building and commissions as well.
Since the items were made in the late 80's to the early 90's I have listed some of the smaller pieces on Etsy and am attempting to figure out how to list the larger items as soon as shipping can be configured- they are considered vintage now. So you may again, contact me with your order inquiry via email on the large scale Bespaq items I have remaining- and remember, my prices are EXTREMELY reasonable for these lovely pieces no longer manufactured - once they are gone, they are gone.
Onto LaBelle's--- so here are the test photos of boutique furniture placement. The mirrors are by my colleague, Jim Coates Miniatures on Ebay (he also has designed large scale Bespaq and had it manufactured like me-) Still working on some details butit is coming along. ENjoy the photos!~Lisa
