Awww this is way too cool!! I really love the country feel it has and it would go so well with my treadles and the studio!!

He is a lucky young man!!!!

This is so fantastic, she is going to love this. Makes wish I was a little girl again......not. lol

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! This is beautiful! Could you possible take some more pics at different angles (a little more close up) so it would be easier to see the scale of it all and the details of everything? This is just fantastic! And did you make the wooden store yourself as well? I would love to be your grandchild! This will certainly be cherished for years and years to come!!!! :-)

Aww I want one!! He is sure gonna have fun with that what a nice job!

I would have loved a store like this as a little girl. I want to touch everything now. lol What a lucky boy. It all looks so real and you can just see all of granma's love went into making everything just right.It's perfect. what a great job well done. Happy Holidays to you too. Mary

fantastic and adorable! :thumbup:

That is just amazing!!! What a wonderful Christmas present for that little one....will be cherished, am sure. Great job.

I think you need to add a little gumball machine!

wow, Wow, WOW! This is so cool! He is going to love this. If the Lord ever blesses me with a grandchild, I want to do this. Heck, forget my own grand-kid, I want one for myself!

This is so wonderful!!
You are so very creative!!!!!!!!
I, too, would like to have had this when I was a child!!
You have a very lucky GS!!!

Oh my goodness, what a piece of art and a work of love!

Unbelievably cool!

This is one loved DGS. The dedication and love that went into this brings tears to my eyes. It is just a glorious little store. Would love to be there just to see the look on his face and to watch what he touches first. I am at a loss for words. Pam

All I can say is WOW :thumbup: What a lucky little boy :-P

What a fun store! You did such a great job. It's darling!

Looks like Santa needs to bring a cash register like Mr. Olson's. Super super job.

That child is blessed to have a Grandma that loves him so much. Your work is astounding, be it quilt or toys. I think I'm your biggest fan.

Stunning.

the shop itself I bought from an auction house here in switzerland. The great thing: one can remove the square section in the back. On the other side is a curtain and it is also theater for puppets. Thankfully there were half a dozend puppets included!

As for pics for details: I posted several topics whenever I finished a section. If you go to my topics you find all the detail pics.

Just Love It!!!!

One more thing will he be giving discount coupons for his store like hobby lobby and joanns? put me on his email list. lol I watched you making all these foods etc. out of fabric but didn't know till now why. Thanks for sharing all of this Mary

This is amazing. How creative of you to put this together. Start of a new entrepeneaur (sp)? Do post pictures when the shop is open. Would love to be there to see you DGS's eyes when he sees this. Do hope he spends lots of time with you.

What you have done here is nothing short of amazing. I have loved watching your posts as you finish the individual fruits and vegetables. I agree that a few close-up shots are in order. We'd love to admire the whole family all together!

BTW - what's the story on the cabinet? Is that homemade too?

My girls would kill for this WOW!!

Your little DGS is so lucky!! Not only does he have an awesome store filled with all kinds of goodies, but he has even more wonderful and loving grandparents.

I have followed you from the beginning and I am so awe struck.. you are amazing and how fun to create such a place for your gs... i too would love to see a pic of his face upon seeing this..

This is truly amazing. When my grandchildren were young I kept a huge tub of toy dishes, fake food, play money and menus and placemats made on the computer They spent hours and hours playing "cafe". Now some of them are in college and still comment on the cafe experience. (They would always fight over who got to be the cook. They would have loved this set up and I would love it now. I am new to this board and will have to try and find your other posts. I love this!! Oh, they also used a little hand help calculator to learn how to make change.

Amazing! I second everything the others have said.

That is just absolute the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. You are so creative.

WOW ! Incredibly beautiful work. He is going to be one lucky boy. This has been one of the most interesting topics I have watched come together on this Board. You are an amazing talented lady. Enjoy the Christmas moment :)

Oh my gosh, that is the cutest thing. What a lucky little guy.

absolutly amazing!

Wow! It's fabulous!! what a great gift! Now he'll need a cash register!

Wonderful. Lucky kidlet. My favorite childhood memory is of receiving a similar gift. I was three. I felt like I had never been so shocked in my life. Best surprise ever.

Wow! That is amazing. Your GS is going to love it. You did an outstanding job. :thumbup:

OMG! That is amazing. What a lucky child to be getting this. Also to have such a talented,loving Grandmother!
