An inside view of Powell's Miniature Candy Sweet Shoppe
I wanted to say a few words about Kim Saulter's miniatures today. I've known Kim for many years, met her from eBay, back in the day. She's been into creating and buying miniatures for years, many more than myself. Kim was also my very first customer at The Fabulous Farmhouse. I know I've mentioned before that I owe Kim much gratitude for urging me to continue my passion when times were rough for me, but what I haven't mentioned is how incredibly talented she is. A few years back, I met up with Kim and her husband Joe at a miniatures show in San Jose, California. Let me tell you I had the funnest time walking around and talking about all of the miniatures there! So many talented artisans at that Good Sam Show. Kim's husband mentioned at some point in the day how Kim needs to get her own clay oven going someday...You know, the never before used item that is sitting there doing nothing? I can't remember exactly how he said it, but I'll get to the point. Looking at Kim's photos and the beautiful miniatures she's created, it's obvious this woman is quite talented and not everyone can do what she does, especially in the short time she's done it, that's for sure. You would think she's been creating these confections for years! What Kim has always been known for is her shabby chic look. Her flair for design is incredible, and it's yet another talent not everyone has! The way she puts things together so effortlessly, resulting in a very realistic look that makes it difficult to notice it isn't life size, it's miniature. Kim's definitely got her niche in the miniatures world and you can spot her work just about anywhere, simple, soft, and sweet:) Fabric pretties in stripes and florals combined with white-washed furnitures, add some yummy cupcakes or chocolates and you're ready to go. Sounds easy right? It isn't, and that's why I'm so impressed with Kim's talent for putting it all together. I'm the first signed up when Kim gives lessons! I look forward to seeing more of her miniature groupings and sweets, if you haven't yet you're missing out!
Mini Hugs to Kim, Cathy
