The Fabulous Farmhouse

The Fabulous Farmhouse, Where Is Everything?

       

A little background.

When The Fabulous Farmhouse store first opened in 2007, all of the miniatures I listed for sale were available to view and purchase even while out of stock. After a few months of me being crazy, I switched the listings and photos to still being viewable but not available for purchase until they were back in stock. Even with this setting in place, I still lost my ability to create anything new because I was constantly restocking with no time left for little else. Today, once miniatures are sold out the listing is not available to view. While I realize I may not catch the eye of a possible new miniatures customer, this setting allows me to continue to love doing what I do. 

     

Ever changing...

The Fabulous Farmhouse has certainly gone through changes in the past years, for example, I now work full time outside of my home and can create miniatures when I'm not at work. Today I love doing it because I have balance and time with the great people in my life. I also traded my dream of a fabulous farmhouse and live in a fabulous lakeside cottage. Seeing Lake Huron every day reminds me of The San Francisco Bay I grew up with. Should I change the name of the store? Nah.

     

Keep in touch!

 The best way to own some of my miniature creations is to keep checking back in the store, check my facebook page for new listings, or simply email me with what you're looking for so that I can get it restocked or created sooner. I do keep a running list of requests and I'll gladly add your request!   Waiting time varies, but I always strive for quality not quantity. Creating miniatures takes a bit of time, and thank you in advance for your patience with the process! 

     


What else?

I make miniatures because I love to. I'm not Walmart by any means, but I do offer exceptionally reasonable prices. I'm not making miniatures to get rich and famous, I do it because I love sharing with you, and I love the kind people and emails I receive from satisfied miniature enthusiasts and friends. 

Let's Go Look!

Be sure to check out the Featured Items (recently restocked items in the store) often as these change weekly.

We did!

A few weeks ago, I married my best friend. I found one of the nice guys. He adores me, everything about me. I feel the exact same way about him. My heart leaps every time I see him. We are loving every minute of it. It's a fabulous life I have right now, and we are feeling pretty blessed. That is one thing I wanted to post about even if ever so briefly. Love. I will post again as soon as possible about some miniatures. I've been super busy with non miniature tasks and details such as changing my name:) Here's wishing everyone a most happy week! Cathy Kredell    

Miniature Hanging Candy

A few nights ago, I was really wishing I could be home again making miniatures full time. That thought doesn't last that long these days because there is so much to do and see...though I did get a chance to make some miniature hanging candy over the weekend. I'd have made more but the beautiful weather was calling us to play in the yard and enjoy this amazing sunshine and rejuvinate for the coming week of work ahead. Now that I have some assorted flavors and candy made I will get more listed in the store as soon as I can. Thank you so much! I'm off to get some more done, Cathy

Dollhouse Miniature Easter Candy

Two new colors! A limited number of purple and orange marshmallow Easter candy peeps, and more candy now available at The Fabulous Farmhouse!

Children's Annuals, Chocolate, and Cake

Annuals are collections of original stories, poems, articles, and pictures assembled to entertain young readers. I've added a couple of non opening children's annuals to the store since your miniature dollhouse kids probably won't mind not being able to open the book. Printed in 1911 and 1929, these are great book covers. I couldn't resist adding a new black and white polka dot chocolate bar, as well as a new mini gift bag with a floral design. Happy Monday!

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I also wanted to share about how excited I was to see my little packages so happily sitting amongst Caroline McFarlane-Watts beautiful blog photos click here to see! Mixed among her fabulous Christmas goodies! I can't say that I made many minis this year but I was quite happy to see what I did manage in a happy place! I am still taking special requests. For today, I'm off to spend time with my love, enjoying our holiday time together. May God Bless you and yours. Love, Cathy McGhee

Weekend Winners!

 
 The winner of last weeks $10.00 gift certificate is Barbara A. in Florida. Thanks to all of you that participated in the fun, I look forward to creating and filling the store even more as the weather cools and time allows. It's been great getting my hands on the miniatures moreso lately. Summers pretty much done, and that means....

 Football? Last weekend kicked it off with more winners! My sweetheart and I had so much fun, I even learned a little bit. Cros-Lex World Champion Little League Softball were honored at halftime of the Varsity game and I completely forgot to pull my camera out for this. Was a bit pre occupied apparently. So much excitement!

 

 I wrapped my weekend up with a visit to my daughter's family up in Northern Michigan and posed with one of her roosters. She's so awesome. Ok, I'll be back to post more when I can. Thanks so much!

xoxo Cathy
