omg! The mushrooms came out so amazing, I loved all the color and my eyes were darting around trying to absorb all the amazing details. It was so magical and whimsical. I was amazed at how many things we did in a similar way, like having a dollhouse was a must! This was such a fun collab for me, thank you! . I loved the story with the open box "special delivery" I think that may be one of my favorite things about a lot of your projects, a really clear story told through minis!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with it and thoroughly enjoyed incorporating all the amazing toys you gave me! Your project came out so detailed and I enjoyed the history part of it🧐 Thanks again for collabing with me on this one😊
"Use the nice stuff" is an important philosophy to learn sometimes. I bought myself a stupidly expensive face moisturizer to use on my wedding day while I was stress shopping, and I forced myself to use it as my only face moisturizer until it was gone. I've had so many nice or fancy or expensive products expire over the years because it never felt like a special enough occasion to use them. If I bought it for my wedding day, I couldn't just use it on a random Tuesday morning... Except that no day is going to match the magnitude of my wedding day as far as being special, and I spent too much money to only use it once. That's how I learned to just... Drink the nice tea. Use the nice bath bomb. Bake with the fancy vanilla. Use the special pieces in your craft collection. Wear the heirloom jewelry to work. Make a pot roast on a Monday. We don't get to enjoy the little luxuries in life when we're always saving them for an unknown potential future need that's "big enough."
I don't use 'the good stuff' all the time and Ive had to throw stuff out because it's gone out of date etc., it's a real waste. Like you I have to force myself to use things
Every day is a special day because you are living another day. I was about 30-35 years old when an 20 year older woman told me to enjoy every day. Your life can be over in a second, you can be ill, you can lose your eyesight ect. I take that advice and live my life, enjoy everything and I know I'am worth it. Saturday I will be 67 and I get retired. Maybe this has nothing to do with miniatures, but if you want to make them....take your time and make something small. Don't wait for a perfect day, it will never come, unless you make the day special by yourself.🥰
I love that this resonated with so many people even outside of the miniature art form! Yes, every day is a gift and its worthy of using the nice stuff!!❤️
So y'all are saying I SHOULD use that very fancy padauk wood I purchased on my next furniture build and not save it for "something special." THIS IS THE SOMETHING SPECIAL!
Such a Cool project and Collaboration!! All the toys and the tiny train on the big mushroom, Casper our friendly Ghost 🤗 Good story!! All looks amazing!! Thanks and Greetings 👋
How cool that you could use your great-grandmother's miniature shelf (must run in the family)! 🥰 Merging the past and present... and possibly future? 😄 Mushrooms love the damp, so perhaps the inhabitants of the land should try fire to control the spores- although these are definitely not normal mushrooms! Great job, as always!
That storefront looks exactly like the antique store that used to be owned by Alex Archbold in Edmonton, Canada. His UA-cam channel is Curiosity Inc. He sold the building, but still buys and sells antiques with a look towards vintage toys. He even had similar shelving in his store. I love all the pieces you used in the store here. Youre so incredibly creative and talented. Its such a pleasure to watch your videos! And thanks for introducing usto another creator!!
Love the tiny mushrooms coming out of the windows of the tiny dollhouse, right next to the big mushroom coming out of the shop window, except that the shop is also a dollhouse.
The abandoned coffee shop is one of my all time builds you've ever done! I'm so excited to see another abandoned build, and it looks so amazing, so much interesting detail everywhere, my fav is the doll house in the window with the little mushrooms growing out of the windows. Love this Ara
Can I offer an easy tip for lettering? I used to work in VM and was forever installing lettering on walls. This makes the job go super fast… 1. You need a thin strip of paper. 2. Lay out the order of your letters. 3. Lay the strip under the letters ( so the paper touches the letters) 4. Make a small mark at the beginning and end of each letter. ( ,B,,O,,O,,K,) 5. Cut off any extra paper. 6. Match the first mark ( ,B ) to the last mark ( K, ) fold the paper…this gives you the center of the word. 7. This is now your lettering guide. 8. Where ever you want to place the letters, find the centers of that space. 9. Tape the guid just a “hair width” below where the lettering will be placed 10. Using the marks on the paper, pop the letters in place….the paper acts as a straight edge 💁♂️. This trick has always helped me, especially when I had to do an entire store within a day 😵💫. Hope this is helpful to someone out there! Cheers 🧚♂️
At first I thought the "giant" mushrooms were making the miniature look like a miniature or like a child's toy that had been abandon...but with the addition of the notices it brings it back to a real place that has been miniatured.
Love it. I can see future kids just so sad that they can't play with these toys! It'll be okay, just brush them off, mom! No! Keep your mask on and let's keep walking!
Oh! man! I love it. So fun and whimsical while being mysterious as well! What a great use of just a ton of little things. I'm loving that green color scheme too. It really made the yellow mushrooms pop.
Your toyshop is so nice Ara. So many colors, but still...it is your style. And I'am always amazed how many details you put in your work. It should be normal for me to know that, I follow you so many years. But you still surprise me.
This is amazing! There is so much detail included. I love all of the toys and games and the mushrooms really look like they have taken over. I hope they stay in this one project and do not spread all over your craft room! 🤣
What a fun collaboration 😍 Both shops are amazing. And I love the stories they tell. The broken glass looks so real, I kept thinking you were going to cut yourself.😂 It was super fun to see Whitney in the Bentley House Studio. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰❤️❤️
I love how you used green (fav color!) and the ageing with the white paint is really effective on darker furniture. It looks like water stains. AND MOSSSSS YESSSS! So cool you two got to meet up! much love!
Nothing has ever made me want2 jump in front of a shrink ray just so i can explore it in first person like this one! Lol this is such a beautiful project, n whitney's items add such a wonderful variety of whimsy inside the shop 💕
I agree. It makes it more realistic, it can be surprisingly easy for spaces to get over flooded with stuff, but especially stores that always have new things coming in.
I am so happy you talked about not wanting to use your “nice stuff” bc omg I’m so bad about doing this and didn’t realize anyone else was also doing this. Love the toy store, it is absolutely wonderful! You are truly so talented and gifted, it always amazes me the things you come up with!
It is absolutely amazing! I love it. It is as busy as it needs to be. The mushrooms are great - in a bad way of course - so colorful, so devious and creepy. You are an inspiration. So creative. Thanks for sharing. Your videos are the best.
Very creative and cute. lol It really is too. My favorite piece is the dollhouse in the broken window that have mushrooms growing out of it as well. Have a great day
Fantastic work as usual. I can smell the mould through my phone screen 😆 Wonderful to see you back after your family break, Ara. I hope you feel refreshed and had a lovely time with your family. 💕X Ps. Would pigeons have got in through the broken window, tried to nest but the killer toadstools/mushrooms got them all. 😲
I honestly feel like distressing and aging stuff is more fun than neat pristine builds. Its so fun to do washes and moss. I think aged projects end up looking more realistic that way.
I love how your Toy Spore turned out! 😍🍄🧸 What a fun idea and so many fun details! So cool you could both meet up in person for the toy swap!! I would love to do a mini colab sometime but I live on the other side of the world 😂 Thank you for another wonderful and inspiring video! 😊
Wow! What a great transformation! Fabulous - as always! As a retired children’s librarian, for me, 1865 means the publication of Alice in Wonderland. I love how the aging really created the whole character of the box/scene! The green color for the furniture is terrific too! I so relate to the thoughts of “should I really use this now since it’s so special? Maybe I should save this a later project!” And you’re so right - we need to use our stash! Hard for me to do sometimes! So great to see you and Whitney together! Two of my favorite miniaturists! The end result - including the back story - is really unique and wonderful! Thanks much! Kathleen
Lol yes that is the one! Thank you Kathleen! I am happy to report that at the end of the project I was VERY glad to have used the furniture I was hesitating about in the beginning. It is a mental fight some times to use the 'precious things'!
Wow , it’s all so amazing. I think I’d like to make a toy shop as if it was from nightmare before Christmas with all the toys made in Halloween town ❤❤❤❤
So enjoyed Ara. There's a 2008 film called The Ruins which plays on this killer plants thing, which your abandoned store made me think of. It's a fun bit of B-grade horror, especially if you enjoy B-grade movies about killer plants.
How fun! I would have such a blast collaborating with both you and Whitney! I so look forward to your videos ~ your creativity abounds :). so glad to have both of you together on a project!!!!
This is so cool! I am so excited to see this collaboration with Whitney. I follow her channel as well and enjoy all her content as well as yours. Although there’s mushrooms present, I didn’t see any critters so I’d probably still come to the toy shop to shop because I love toys.😂 that was so cool that Whitney got to visit you in your studio. a special treat for both of you❤ Thanks for sharing !
I so enjoyed watching you put this all together! I was happy to see Whitney there, too! It looks PERFECT! Love all of the colors especially the mushrooms! 😉❤❤❤
I love this. As much as I love your larger projects, I think your abandoned setting projects show even more of your ingenuity and creative spark because they don't have a previously known world behind them.
Brilliant,work,the art is in the details! This is my first video of yours that I have watched. Now,this was a competition,a friendly competition,for sure. This was a very interesting challenge! Both of you are dedicated to the art of detail. There is ,for me a winner by a hair. Before I say,I have been a fan of Whitney for quite some time,but lest you think that I am prone to favoritism,Whitney’s last challenge with Queen City Minis,the cyberpunk challenge,I think Whitney just barely fell short. This challenge was a brilliant one,an abandoned toy store,what a great idea! I think that the details for each of the stories that you wanted to tell were beautifully rendered. BUT Whitney’s just seemed to pay attention to details that were historically accurate,versus being able to create a diorama that fits into a totally fictional scenario. In this case,although brilliantly conceived and executed on your part,well,it came across more like little shop of horrors. Basically,the win,in my opinion,by Whitney on this one wasn’t based on talent,as you are both on par,but based on detail that commanded detail,versus pure story value. I think that you are both incredible,talent supreme😌
I don’t have the words to express how much I love it 😅💕 and what a wonderful surprise when Whitney popped up 😆 I wish more of us could meet in person 🤗🙏
This looks amazing! I'm obsessed with all the details. The price tags are such a great touch. I love the watered down white paint on the black. It looks old and dry. It's packed with so many things to see! I'm the same way. I have this scarcity mindset where I don't want to use my minis. I'll push through as well and USE my stuff instead of just hoarding it.
ah that was so much fun to watch :) I keep seeing in my mind a ghostbuster=mushroom buster figure standing in front of the store with a huge anti spore gun LOL
ok, that was very cool to watch! Beautiful!!! I watched Whitney's first and both so different but both so beautiful! I enjoyed this collab and Whitney gained a new subscriber, already one of yours lol! GREAT JOB LADIES!!
omg! The mushrooms came out so amazing, I loved all the color and my eyes were darting around trying to absorb all the amazing details. It was so magical and whimsical. I was amazed at how many things we did in a similar way, like having a dollhouse was a must! This was such a fun collab for me, thank you! . I loved the story with the open box "special delivery" I think that may be one of my favorite things about a lot of your projects, a really clear story told through minis!

@@marykayryan7891 this is it! This is the moment!
1865 is the year that ALICE IN WONDERLAND was first printed. Turned out looking great, Ara! Love the 'shrooms!
You know. I didn't actually KNOW that. But I did guess it had something to do with Alice and Wonderland.
I was going to guess Winnie the Pooh! Just a guess😢! Toys, toy shop❤!!!
You got it, Loston!! I am so glad you enjoyed the project and my strange invaders😆
I feel like this could be an episode of Doctor Who
That’s what I thought too!!!! 🤣🤣

Just amazing, as always, and I love how busy it is 😍🤩❣️!!! "The Day of the Spores" instead of "Triffids" 😂😅😆
That is Amazing, I love the mushrooms, great idea to add the pieces of glass too, It really looks brill, Well done Ara 👍♥️
Love it. I can see future kids just so sad that they can't play with these toys! It'll be okay, just brush them off, mom! No! Keep your mask on and let's keep walking!
Yup! Exactly... you can look but don't touch!
Love this! Especially the posters and mushrooms. What a great idea. ❤❤❤
Oh! man! I love it. So fun and whimsical while being mysterious as well! What a great use of just a ton of little things. I'm loving that green color scheme too. It really made the yellow mushrooms pop.
Your toyshop is so nice Ara. So many colors, but still...it is your style. And I'am always amazed how many details you put in your work. It should be normal for me to know that, I follow you so many years. But you still surprise me.
Absolutely gorgeous mama❤❤❤
Wow, it was so realistic looking! I could look at all the tiny details for hours continually discovering something new. Excellent job.
LOVE MOSS AND SHROOMS 😍❣️ IT LOOKS SO GOOD ARA!! SHROOM DOOM FOR REAL!! 😅🎉🎉🎉
Omg!!! Loving the results!!!! Really cool collaboration!!! ❤😊❤
Such an Adorable Room box! So Great to See this Collab!!! I really Love when you mentioned about saving miniatures for projects!
Absolutely amazing!! 👏😊
I love how you tell a Story with only one scene. It's all just brillant 😚👌
Omygosh! I was so happy to see Whitney there! Such a fun project for both of you!!
It was so fun to have her visit the studio!
This is amazing! There is so much detail included. I love all of the toys and games and the mushrooms really look like they have taken over. I hope they stay in this one project and do not spread all over your craft room! 🤣
I love love love busy dollhouses. Incredible work. I love all the little details that bring this to life.
What a fun collaboration 😍 Both shops are amazing. And I love the stories they tell. The broken glass looks so real, I kept thinking you were going to cut yourself.😂 It was super fun to see Whitney in the Bentley House Studio. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰❤️❤️

That was awesome,amazing,thank you for sharing your talent with us,love the idea of the mushrooms.
How fantastic!! Absolutely love it!
Fantastic! I feel you could sit for hours just looking there is so much in there. Great collab the special delivery was an amazing idea.
Nothing has ever made me want2 jump in front of a shrink ray just so i can explore it in first person like this one! Lol this is such a beautiful project, n whitney's items add such a wonderful variety of whimsy inside the shop 💕
I absolutely love this.❤❤❤ I can't believe that you placed a microscopic price tag on every item! 😅😂 Good heavens.
Sometimes, more is more, and this is one of those times! I love it Ara!
Thank you so much as always!
Lisa
I agree. It makes it more realistic, it can be surprisingly easy for spaces to get over flooded with stuff, but especially stores that always have new things coming in.
Thank you Lisa!! This was a VERY busy project compared to my usual but I am liking it for this one!
I loved it from the moment I saw all the shop furniture. It's so whimsical!
It looks magnificent! Beautiful attention to detail, Ara! 🍄
I am so happy you talked about not wanting to use your “nice stuff” bc omg I’m so bad about doing this and didn’t realize anyone else was also doing this. Love the toy store, it is absolutely wonderful! You are truly so talented and gifted, it always amazes me the things you come up with!
I love this project ! You have such great ideas !
Thank you for distracting me from my greef for a while !
Ara, you have out-done yourself this time…amazing talent 😊
I loved yours and Whitney's collaboration! Y'all make quite the dynamic duo! Great content, Ladies! 🙂
Thank you Joni! I had a lot of fun working with her on this one!
Awesome Ara I LOVE IT 💖💖💖💖
It is absolutely amazing! I love it. It is as busy as it needs to be. The mushrooms are great - in a bad way of course - so colorful, so devious and creepy. You are an inspiration. So creative. Thanks for sharing. Your videos are the best.
🎉I'm a big fan of whitney love her 🎉😊
Awe thank you my darling! I'm a big fan of you too! Ara was such a blast to collab with!
@@WhitneyLaBrie I bet it was so much fun xx
I had a blast as well😊
This reminds me of Little House of Horrors. So good x
Should be Shop of Horrors
I have seen that comparison a few times and its a huge compliment for me! Maybe I need one to sprout a set of teeth lol! Thank you!
Sooooo….cute! That is awesome!!!!
Thank you Robin! 😊
Monopoly charms make great mineiatures for toys etc.
Oh good idea!
You are So Clever !!!!
😊Thank you!
Absolutely adorable!!! Great job.
This is beautiful! I would have difficulty aging your beautiful furniture and some of the toys! However your Mushroom Invaded Toy Store is Superb!
You and Whitney look like sisters stood next to each other.
I absolutely loved this video and I love how your toy shop came out it's so cool
Very creative and cute. lol It really is too. My favorite piece is the dollhouse in the broken window that have mushrooms growing out of it as well. Have a great day
Feels so good getting a classic Ara abandoned build. ❤❤❤
Fantastic work as usual. I can smell the mould through my phone screen 😆
Wonderful to see you back after your family break, Ara. I hope you feel refreshed and had a lovely time with your family. 💕X
Ps. Would pigeons have got in through the broken window, tried to nest but the killer toadstools/mushrooms got them all. 😲
I honestly feel like distressing and aging stuff is more fun than neat pristine builds. Its so fun to do washes and moss. I think aged projects end up looking more realistic that way.
I want to thumbs up this video 1000 times! Awesome work!
This toy shop breaks my heart! So many toys are contaminated!
Love it!! Love your abandoned miniature projects.
I absolutely love this toy shop
Looks great, what a wonderful fun project. 😊
1 minute and 30 seconds in the video and I already know it will be great ❤❤❤
I love how your Toy Spore turned out! 😍🍄🧸 What a fun idea and so many fun details! So cool you could both meet up in person for the toy swap!! I would love to do a mini colab sometime but I live on the other side of the world 😂 Thank you for another wonderful and inspiring video! 😊
YAY! I just spotted something that looked like "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" from when I was a kid, and of coure Operation game! Way too adorable!
THIS is my favorite!!
Wow! What a great transformation! Fabulous - as always! As a retired children’s librarian, for me, 1865 means the publication of Alice in Wonderland.
I love how the aging really created the whole character of the box/scene! The green color for the furniture is terrific too!
I so relate to the thoughts of “should I really use this now since it’s so special? Maybe I should save this a later project!” And you’re so right - we need to use our stash! Hard for me to do sometimes!
So great to see you and Whitney together! Two of my favorite miniaturists!
The end result - including the back story - is really unique and wonderful! Thanks much! Kathleen
Lol yes that is the one! Thank you Kathleen! I am happy to report that at the end of the project I was VERY glad to have used the furniture I was hesitating about in the beginning. It is a mental fight some times to use the 'precious things'!
My reason is just so dumb, "if I use it, then I won't have it"😢 dumb subconscious😢
Loved it and loved that you had an in person visitor ❤
That's brilliant! So detailed and I love the weathering. 👏🏻👏🏻
Whitney's nod to the 80th anniversary of D Day and the horror of Lone in WW 2 and your nod to Alice in Wonderland. So great, love them both.
Amazing … what a treat to watch you create!
Yeah! I was missing the abandoned stuff! I think the bear with the mushroom sticking out of his head is my favorite!
It was a great opportunity since they were Christmas ornaments before and I am glad I went for it lol!
Wow , it’s all so amazing. I think I’d like to make a toy shop as if it was from nightmare before Christmas with all the toys made in Halloween town ❤❤❤❤
Yes!! Please do that, it sounds amazing!!
So enjoyed Ara. There's a 2008 film called The Ruins which plays on this killer plants thing, which your abandoned store made me think of. It's a fun bit of B-grade horror, especially if you enjoy B-grade movies about killer plants.
How fun! I would have such a blast collaborating with both you and Whitney! I so look forward to your videos ~ your creativity abounds :). so glad to have both of you together on a project!!!!

Thank you Elizabeth! It was so fun to have her come visit the studio and hang out for a bit😊
Alice in Wonderland. The caterpillar reclined on a mushroom. Great references Ara!
I might have to put a caterpillar up there on the big mushroom one day!
I love this. As much as I love your larger projects, I think your abandoned setting projects show even more of your ingenuity and creative spark because they don't have a previously known world behind them.
Awesome, you both did a great job.
A delight!
It came out looking amazing! 😍
Thank you!!😊
Delightful!
Ok, now that I slept through the first go will try again. 😂😂😂😂
Haha, I have heard my videos have that effect on people😆
I like the natural shine on the mushrooms
Brilliant,work,the art is in the details!
This is my first video of yours that I have watched.
Now,this was a competition,a friendly competition,for sure.
This was a very interesting challenge!
Both of you are dedicated to the art of detail.
There is ,for me a winner by a hair.
Before I say,I have been a fan of Whitney for quite some time,but lest you think that I am prone to favoritism,Whitney’s last challenge with Queen City Minis,the cyberpunk challenge,I think Whitney just barely fell short.
This challenge was a brilliant one,an abandoned toy store,what a great idea!
I think that the details for each of the stories that you wanted to tell were beautifully rendered.
BUT
Whitney’s just seemed to pay attention to details that were historically accurate,versus being able to create a diorama that fits into a totally fictional scenario.
In this case,although brilliantly conceived and executed on your part,well,it came across more like little shop of horrors.
Basically,the win,in my opinion,by Whitney on this one wasn’t based on talent,as you are both on par,but based on detail that commanded detail,versus pure story value.
I think that you are both incredible,talent supreme😌
Absolutely captivating! And I loved the story you implied.
I don’t have the words to express how much I love it 😅💕 and what a wonderful surprise when Whitney popped up 😆 I wish more of us could meet in person 🤗🙏
This looks amazing! I'm obsessed with all the details. The price tags are such a great touch.
I love the watered down white paint on the black. It looks old and dry.
It's packed with so many things to see!
I'm the same way. I have this scarcity mindset where I don't want to use my minis. I'll push through as well and USE my stuff instead of just hoarding it.
omg Ara this whole thing is amazing, the setup, the story, the look of it all! LOVE it
Love it such a cool idea. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍄🍄🍄
Absolutely adorable!
ah that was so much fun to watch :) I keep seeing in my mind a ghostbuster=mushroom buster figure standing in front of the store with a huge anti spore gun LOL
WOW this is so cool. I'm very crafty but have never done anything with minis. It's amazing that you shared so much about the process. Thank you!
ok, that was very cool to watch! Beautiful!!! I watched Whitney's first and both so different but both so beautiful! I enjoyed this collab and Whitney gained a new subscriber, already one of yours lol! GREAT JOB LADIES!!
I looks so amazing!
This turned out so good! Always impressed with the stuff you create
Wowzer!!!!! This was a super fun tute to watch. You are so uber talented.
😊😊 Thank you! I am so glad you liked it!
