Announcement    June 2020 Update INCREASE IN POSTAGE: Royal Mail is increasing it's postal rates from 1st July for international post!! So sadly I have had to do the same as it is a significant increase - especially to the USA. My method of posting internationally is with tracking so I can keep an eye on it. But please be aware I am happy to consider shipping internationally with cheaper standard postage but you will have to message me and I will get back to you with an updated shipping price.

May 2020 Update: The shop is now open! I will only be posting orders once a week.

March 11th 2020: I have been reviewing the cost of my items/postage/packaging. This means there will be a slight increase in item prices. This will come into effect at the end of March. I really didn't want to do this and have been putting it off for a while but I need to cover the Etsy fees and packaging costs. You will always find my items at the best price at the shows I go to. Best wishes, Laura.

March 11th 2020 : Packaging & the environment: I just wanted to add a little note about the packaging I use with regards to the environment and recycling. Since I opened this Etsy shop in 2015 I have been aware of the waste of plastic packaging. Most of my packaging is cardboard & paper. When I do use bubble wrap it has been given to me by friends and family. I even take it out the jiffy bags that come through the post so it can be reused and doesn't go straight in the bin. I always walk to the post office when I can (rain or shine!). I will be looking into paper parcel tape soon!

December 16th 2019: I am working with a new camera. So apologies for any slight difference in colour I am still getting used to the settings.

The Country Treasures story and UK show dates

For over 30 years Jan & Paul have been making dollhouse miniatures. This is the official Country Treasures shop run by granddaughter Laura Brownhill.

Country Treasures made its first appearance in the 1970's on a small craft stand selling beautifully hand crafted mice carrying little pots and baskets of fruit. The craft fairs soon specialised into miniature shows and CT found itself at the beginning of an exciting expansion into the dollshouse miniature world!

Today you will see a delightful collection of old Victorian inspired items, ranging from preserved fruit & veg in jars, copper saucepans & metal-ware, kitchen accessories and much more. Laura also has a range of nature inspired items and hopes to continue the business for many years to come.

Most of the items stocked on Etsy are made by Laura. Jan & Paul only make enough to sell at the shows we attend, but occasionally we manage to get enough to put some items up for sale.
