My mom and I made these mini plants yesterday. The two in the terra cotta pots will go in the half scale conservatory she’s working on, and the arrangement in the vase is for either my Fairfield or my puzzle house, haven’t decided yet. We bought the orchids, roses, pots, and vase at Dollhouses, Trains, […]
