Loved seeing the Kensington Miniature Show, thank you! I would also enjoy being amongst like minded people & such amazing talents on display to purchase! Loved your new mini Nigel & Georgie, too cute. 😻
Yes Lana, and to be honest, I don't go to these fairs now, just to spend money. I now enjoy more, meeting and chatting to the like-minded folk, which to me is worth a lot more! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your day out! So much fun, and the miniature Nigel and Georgie are adorable. I can't wait to see them in the Art Deco house! Georgie definitely needs a life size fish bowl of his own, don't you think? 😸 The Dallas Miniature Show is coming up at the end of June, and your video has me so excited to go! Hugs to you and John, and pets to Nigel and naughty little Georgie. ♥♥♥♥
You are so welcome Debra 🙏 and yes, Georgie would absolutely LOVE a real fish tank, but his daddy would be ill with anxiety in case he caught a poor fish! 😂 I'd love to see how different the Dallas show is to others! Maybe a youtuber might be there to film some of it 🤞❤️❤️
Hello Richard, thank you for taking us to Kensington with you, I'd love to go there one day, the little cats you bought are very cute, especially the one with the goldfish bowl, we had a little black cat years ago when my eldest daughter was small, he used to sit with one of his paws in the goldfish bowl like it was a foot spa 😂 Have a great week, Best wishes to You, John and the Kitties from Yorkshire 😊
Hello Diane, I'm so glad you told me of your memories, because it wasn't until I read it, that it brought memories back to me! When I was around ten years old we had a small fish tank. We had two goldfish (I remember naming them, fish & chips!). But I also remembered we had a family cat then, that used to just sit with his paw hanging over the tank! 😂 thank you for reminding me 🙏
Really enjoyed the craft tour, what incredible and artist creators all you guys are just wonderful. We thought you looked proper smart and dapper buddy 🤗 have a lovely rest of the week
Yes, there were some excellent crafts folk there! And thank you for the compliment 👍 I'm always in my work gear on my videos, so it's nice to get the good gear out when I get the chance! 😊
Thank you for taking us along. Man I wish I could go to a dolls house show. Have never been and even tho I don’t own one I could see me spending all of hubbys money. Sooo maybe a good thing we don’t have any here. Lol. It was a great little moment in time. Thank you ❤
I’ve just come back from Cornwall and there waiting for me was a parcel, how excited I was to open it. Not only was it beautifully packaged but to my delight there were two vases! Thank you so much. I couldn’t make Kensington obviously but I’ve enjoyed seeing a few of the beautiful stands, I’m off to York fair soon… can’t wait.
Welcome home Charlotte! Hope you had a lovely time in beautiful Cornwall 😍 and I'm glad your parcel arrived too. The extra vase (as far as I can remember) was one of my "practice" pieces from the beginning 😀
Hi Richard thank you for another great video you never disappoint us..loved the tour you took us on..everything on the Miniature Garden Florals stall was gorgeous and the fairys made by Charles magical miniatures beautiful I could see one of them in my miniature garden..I think you should start and do a stall at a miniature fair with your vases and furniture you make xx
You are very welcome Sharon 🙏 and yes, quite a few folk has said I should do a stall at one of the fairs. But they take up so much of your time, and I already work every day doing commission work, youtube videos and when I have a free moment I have my own projects to do! If I never had to sleep, I could still fill my time! 😂 xx
how amazing are those figures at the beginning x i love the alice in wonderland pop up book x wow the magical miniatures 🥰 the art deco mirror you bought is gorgeous x
Yes, those figures were amazing, and the lady that makes the pop-up books showed me the Alice in Wonderland book. Every page had different scenes/characters, and they all moved! I have no idea how she makes them so beautifully 😍
Awww Richard it was sooo lovely to see you !! Sorry we didn’t get to chat more, it was amazing to watch your video too. I only managed a couple of quick circles of the downstairs to go and visit all the lovely stands, so your video let me discover things I hadn’t seen😅
Thank you for taking us along. I'd give anything to visit that dolls house show. It makes me happy to see so many people enjoying the brilliant artists. So many charming creations. You're right about the people...miniaturists are some of the most delightful people I've ever met. And! Thank you, again, for the beautiful creations I'm proud to add to my collection. I love each and every piece. All my best to you, JohnBoy, Nigel, and Georgie!
You are so welcome Rachael 🙏 I understand that so many folk aren't able to get to these shows, so I try to make time to video what I can so that they can enjoy seeing what's there! 😊❤️
As of yet I haven't been to a miniatures show and it is so much fun to hear the excitement in the air and to see all of the wonderful things. I have written down the names of the shops you mentioned and will have fun looking them all up!
I'm sure you would have a lovely time, meeting other like-minded folk! I took a card from the flower lady, in the hopes that one day I can afford to buy two of her displays in the urns! To see them in real life was something I won't forget in a hurry! 😂
Dear Richard I just have just woken up 1.16 am down under and can’t get back to sleep, and there was your video to watch thank you for taking us along. Cold and wet in Melbourne it will be a long winter ❄️ Love Marrianne
Oh dear Marrianne! I know EXACTLY how you feel, waking up then, and not being able to get back to sleep! Not fun! But I'm glad I was there to give you something nice to watch 😊 hopefully your winter won't be as bad as you think...fingers crossed 🤞
It has been ages since I was able to go to a fair. It would be nice to go to one again because there is always something unique that you don't come across while browsing websites.
Hello Mary, thank you so much for watching my videos, and welcome to our "miniature" family! 🙏 I have become extremely busy since I began my channel, as you will see as you catch up watching! Hope your day is a lovely one! 👋❤️
It was so good to see you guys and I'm always happy to have a chat with you both! Thank you for mentionning and filming my table, I feel honored ! And thank you for your report, it is always difficult to see everything on a show, with your eyes I see more than I was with mine !
Thank you so much for the video! I'd love to attend someday and you made it almost like I were there:) I loved the "chatter" and excitment sounds in the background too!!
Oh you are more than welcome 🙏 it was a lovely day. And a few folk came up to me to say hello because they are subscribers, so that was just a joy to meet them! Hopefully, you can get to a fair at some point, it's nice just to chat to like-minded people 😊
Ahh those cats❤ I saw them on the priory website!! I've ordered 2 of the coronation 'gift bags' online...you have some lovely things... I am going to try and go next year... it looks fab at Kensington❤
I’m American but I saw so many amazing miniatures I’m going to have to look these places up and see if they ship here. Just a wonderful video! I loved every shop you shared with us, also I subscribed, somehow id not run into your channel before now. ❤
Mmm, that's frustrating! I'm just thankful that we have youtube in our time! It's one of the few tools that helps to bring us together as a "miniature family" 😊
How exciting! I would go nuts around all of that incredible talent. Plus, I'd be broke when I left. The closest large show around here is in Washington state. There aren’t any shops or shows near Willamina Oregon. Thank goodness for internet shopping! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Rich what a tease only showing us 3 items. How I’d love to go to such shows but perhaps it’s as well as funds wouldn’t run to many purchases so will carry on making my own versions but the skill of some of the miniaturists is breathtaking and makes me feel inadequate. However making and creating is the most fulfilling hobby and at 79 I still get a gurgling excitement as my next idea pops into my head. Like you it’s often during the night when the planning happens so getting up in the morning I’m ready to start (housework suffers) life’s to short to worry too much about dust and fluffy dusters whisk it away when absolutely necessary. John Boy would be horrified! Just love your films, take care of your health when you have so much to do and miniature work is so time consuming and can’t be rushed can it?
❤😊 anyone who watches other RU-vid videos who are miniaturist mention Rich’s videos on their channel leaving his channel’s name in the comments so that way more people will find and follow Rich, John Boy ❤️❤️❤️ I just love watching all your videos and thank you for sharing them with us 😊
Do adult dollhouse enthusiasts actually play with their houses or are they just displayed? Just wondering. I’d love a dollhouse but I don’t have space. Me and 2 cats just about fit in 2-room flat. But if I had any house big or small I’d play in it! Wonderful to your trip and items.
The adult enthusiasts/miniaturists enjoy the hobby of creating their "ideal" worlds. Everyone imagines where they would love to live if they could afford it, so instead, they create houses to reflect that. You then spend time looking and buying/making the items you want in that house. And then you can sit back and enjoy looking at them 😍 but if you don't have a lot of space, have you thought about buying/making a room box or two? You can just have one the size of an average room, and then it can be what ever you desire! A kitchen, lounge, or even a shop like a florists etc
