When I bought Mopsy, I knew that I wanted to have her looking at something – and what better than a mouse cheekily nibbling on some cheese? Imagine my delight when, at Miniatura, I made a beeline to Country Treasures’ stand and found that Laura Brownhill had produced a new design which fitted my needs perfectly! Perfectly detailed and realistic, as always, this wonderful little vignette will sit perfectly in the far reaches of the kitchen or pantry.

I’ve also used other items from the collection: a breakfast table, a bread-and-butter pudding, a roasted fish platter, and two fluted jelly moulds
