Dolls House World Magazine Issue 343 Back Issue

Summer’s here and the weather is acting as if it hasn’t noticed. But to get you in a summer state of mind just pull up a chair at Eva Perendreu’s Cocktail Beach Bar. It sits prettily over-looking the clear blue water and delicious cocktails are being served in a cosy atmosphere.
The ubiquitous coffee stirrers and tongue depressors, along with recycled cardboard, were used in its construction. Eva said it took her several months to make as “she’s not really good” with wood, but the final effect is wonderful.

We hear from one club how Zoom meetings have been helping them cope with lockdown and talk to a maker of gorgeous bikinis, shorts and flip-flops about why she loves summer styles.
So get your swimsuit out (in twelfth scale of course). The sun will always be shining when it comes to miniatures.
