London Dollshouse Showcase

Established in 1985, the London Dollshouse Festivals have been searching the globe for the best craftsmen who can perfectly replicate every day life in miniature. We have artists from all corners of the world attending our London shows. These craftsmen specialise in all aspects of miniatures from a grand, fully decorated mansion to a humble clothes peg & everything in between.

WE REMEMBER PAUL BROWNHILL OF COUNTRY TREASURES.
It is with great sadness that I received this message from Laura Brownhill (Paul's granddaughter) today:
"It is with a sad heart, we have to announce that Paul passed away on the 10th October, after an unexpected cancer diagnosis in July. He put up a good fight which he sadly lost, and he is now no longer in any pain. He will be missed a whole lot, by a whole lot of people, and we are appreciating the many good times and memories we have."
You may not know but Jan & Paul were one of the original exhibitors at the Kensington Dollshouse Festival back in 1985 & up until Covid stopped the shows, they had not missed even one of our events (I have worked out that they have attended 52 of our shows! It has always been a pleasure to have them there, so gracious & welcoming to our visitors & the other exhibitors around them.
I took over the organisation of the show back in 2005, but I had known Paul & Jan well before that as I used to buy their wonderful miniatures for the shop in Covent Garden. Paul not only made the most beautiful copper pans & kitchen utensils of the highest quality, but also he would supply those humble things that all miniaturists need for their dolls house.
We would buy, by the 100's Paul's paper & metal plates, which would then be bought by makers creating miniature food, needing something to put their tiny cakes on. None of his miniatures were expensive, event his beautiful copper pans & kettles were priced so everyone could afford one for their dolls house.
The show will not be the same without Paul there, but I was so happy, when Jan approached me a few years ago to say that their granddaughter Laura, will be joining Country Treasures & I am happy to say that she will be at our shows once again, representing her grandparents work along with creations of her own.

KDF LONDON SHOWCASE: Did that actually happen!

With the KDF London Showcase now in the past, here are a few photos to remind us of the day. We were so excited to be back at @kcvenues & were so busy chatting to everyone, we didn’t have time to look around at all the incredible miniatures on display!

If you couldn’t make the show, don’t worry, you don’t have to wait too long for the next show which is our KDF Christmas Showcase on December 4th. Tickets are available to book via our website (link in bio).

PERFECTION IN MINIATURE AWARDS 2021: People’s Choice Award.

The best thing about being back at a LIVE show, was seeing all our old (& new) friends again & it also meant that the PIMA ‘People’s Choice Award’ (PCA) could make its return. All stallholders & visitors to the show could vote for their favourite entries & this year, the winner of the PCA was not the same as the winner of the main PIMA award. Daniela Kiefhaber of Microdolls got the most votes with her perfectly stitched Elizabethan Bed Cover. (this was awarded ‘Highly Commended’ in the main PIMA’.

Very close on her heels was Conny van den Dungen of Legendary Luggage in Miniature, who was attending her 1st Kensington Show. Her gorgeous LV inspired trunk for wines & spirits came a close 2nd place. The final 2 runners up were 2 incredible pieces of furniture. The Queen Ann Trunk, based on a trunk in the V&A, by talented Keith Bougourd of Small Time & a stunning Louis XVI Empire writing cabinet but Chris Malcomson. The detail on both of these pieces was incredible.

We now have all the entries shown on our website (link in bio & click on’Competitions’ in the menu). What is your favourite?

PERFECTION IN MINIATURE AWARDS: Highly Commended.

Following on from the post about our PIMA winners, I can now share the “Highly Commended” entries with you. These are in no particular order, except to say that the 1st photo of Tipu’s Tiger did get a special mention. This fantastic piece by Alexandra Blythe was real challenge for her & was an exact 1:12 copy of a real automata in the V & A Museum. There were so many skills on show in this piece & it was also just a joy to behold! I will certainly be writing more about this in the future.

After that we see The Queen Mary’s Chest by @
small_time, that was also a copy of a real one that can be viewed at the @vamuseum. (there were other entries based on V&A items too - a great source of inspiration!). Then following on is the Wine & Spirit Trunk by new exhibitor @
connydungen , a violoncello by last years winner @yosh_sagi, Ikebana Style Flower Arrangement by Petite Fleur, an Elizabethan Bedcover by @elakiefhaber. both KDF regulars. We hope to have photos of all the entries up on our website later this week.

PERFECTION IN MINIATURE AWARDS 2021: Winners. I wish I had had the time to post the winners of the PIMA ‘21 yesterday, but we rather had our hands full with the organisation the the KDF London Showcase, so hardly had time to admire the entries myself. I did manage to take some photos of the winners & runners up & I will post these over the next few days. These are the winners of the main competition. Our usual judges were joined by David Ward & others was some lively discussion this time about all the entries! 1st Place went to Sarah Hendry of Pocket People, who imagined & then created Greta Boyd. I do not have all the information on these entries to hand, but I know it was a big departure from her usual work & a labour of love. Judges were impressed by the incredible detail Sarah got in her character, right down to eyebrows, eye lashes, diamond ring etc. There is not one millimetre that isn’t perfect. This is the 1st doll to will the competition - it may not be a beauty contest, but this time it is certainly age before beauty! Second Place was Floral Decor Minis. This incredible work showing miniature flowers at their very best, was loved by the judges for the incredible detail.. even the bits you wouldn’t normally look at. 3rd place was this painting of a temple in a formal garden by Leslie Smith. We all had to look very closely to see this was actually painted! Tiny dots making up the beautiful composition. Leslie has been attending the show for many years & always amazes. We will have better photos & more info on the winners on our web site soon & tomorrow I’ll post photos of the runners up.

KDF LONDON SHOWCASE: Starts tomorrow…. Kensington Town Hall welcomes you.

We are just packing up the office & heading down to #kensingtontownhall today to get set up for our first LIVE SHOW in nearly 2 years. It has been a real struggle to get to this point with so many obstacles in our way, but we are here!

The show is going to be an emotional 2 days for everyone involved & visitors too I expect, but we cannot wait to be seeing all our regulars & newcomers in person again. So much to catch up on!

It is going to be a busy & exciting couple of days. We have the 2021 PIMA’s happening, as well as the show itself. I will try to post as much as I can, but Time will be against me.

Only a few days to go until our 1st LIVE show in nearly 2 years. We are very excited!

Veronica of Little House at the Priory has become a regular at all our shows & this year, fans of the smaller scales are in for a treat. Not only do we have new exhibitors @kinnunenangela & @robcrouch73 who specialise in smaller scales, but Veronica is introducing all sorts of beautiful things for the tiny scales.

We love this 1:144 scale cottage & the gorgeous 1:48 scale beds & Knoll sofas. In 1:24 she has these cosy looking armchairs too. Of course if you are a 1:12 scale fan like me, she has lots of miniatures for you too.

KDF LONDON SHOWCASE: John Hodgson & Sue Hodgson Designs

With less than 1 week to go until the Show at Kensington Town Hall, we are in the last chaotic state of preparation. The LDF Office is a pile of papers & boxes. Most excitingly, the boxes containing some of the entries in the Perfection in Miniature Awards 2021 (more about that another day).

I know the show is approaching when I finally get the catalogue off to the printers. I managed to do this last week. We will have all sorts of articles to read in this years catalogue including a lovely piece written by Sue Hodgson about the incredible work of her husband John. Of course all regulars to the show will know John & Sue well, so it is great to hear that the business is entering a new phase. John & Sue’s 3 daughters have decided they want to continue making the furniture that John has created, so the 3 talented girls, with the help of Sue & John have each found a role in the business.

You will be able to meet 2 of the new generation at the festival next week & also see say Hi to John who will be popping in to catch up with friends.

If you are unable to come to the show, we hope to have a few of the catalogues left over. We hope to post these out to anyone who would like a copy. (we do not know if we will have any spares yet, but after the show we will know how many we have available)

KDF LONDON SHOWCASE: After Dark Miniatures

We are pleased to have a late addition to our exhibitor list at the show next weekend (Sept 17th & 18th). @eveafterdarkminiatures have exhibited at Kensington once before, but then the pandemic hit & things ground to a halt. Eve creates the most beautiful, mouthwatering food, along with other curios.

We are eternally grateful to all the exhibitors who have made such a huge effort to be part of the show this time. It has been so nerve-wracking preparing for the event, not knowing if it will be shut down at the last minute (so far so good!) & it was not an easy decision for any of them to attend.

It has been a huge amount of work, effort & expense for them all: packing up their miniatures in to their car/train/aeroplane, travelling to busy London, staying in a hotel & setting up their table so we can enjoy their incredible work. If possible, we ask as many of you as possible to come along to support their efforts.

We do have the following rules in place for entry. Everyone entering the show must have proof of a double vaccination (your vaccination card or NHS app is fine). OR proof of a negative lateral flow or PCR test taken in the last 24 hrs (we will have some tests available at the venue). Once inside the venue, masks will not be mandatory.

We are all excited to be back at Kensington after nearly 2 years & expect the show to be something really special.

KDF LONDON SHOWCASE: The Marvellous Mouse Hunt. We pride ourselves at KDF with offering lots of extras at our shows. We especially like to get the younger generation involved & encourage their love of miniatures. This year , however, we have decided to simplify the show, so we will not be organising the ‘Gingerbread Craft Club’ as the lower floor of the Town Hall is not in use. However, THE MARVELLOUS MOISE HUNT is back so kids can spend the day hunting for those pesky mice. The prize this year is this gorgeous mouse by Time4dolls. They were planning on attending their 1st KDF last year but it was not to be. We hope to see them at Kensington in the future. The mouse hunt runs throughout both days of the show & free to all young ticket holders. Winner announced on Saturday afternoon. Here you see KDF cat, Luna, showing no interest in the prize at all. #mice #kdflondon #dollshouseshowcase #competition
