Liquor Store

Liquor Store

I found a great source for cigar labels

http://www.en.com/users/oldart/label_archive.html

Contains both banners and labels.

This box is about 4" tall x 6" wide.  I cut a shelf for the center from balsa wood and glued it in place.  On the bottom shelf, I put lined up liquor bottles.  In the 99cents Store, which is DIFFERENT than the Dollar Tree Store, I found magnets that were replicas of liquor bottles.  They are pretty large even for a Ken (12.5") doll, but they're on the bottom shelf, so it doesn't look that bad. 

On the upper shelf, but under the counter, there are four small martini glasses.  I found these at Ben Franklin Crafts in the Bridal section.  I suppose these are designed for party favors or a decoration on a cake.  I included some small coke bottle type bottles.  Then made two cigar boxes.

These small boxes were made from the balsa wood scraps. I I used Paint Shop Pro 5.0 to resize them the cigar label images.  About 142 pixels wide x 75 pixels high.  I used brown polymer clay for the cigars. 

There are a few small bags from the bag pattern I designed:

I had to resize that pattern down.  Used brown grocery bags for the bags. Glued two collapsed bags to the counter and one opened with some wine bottles (found in a Barbie dish set).  In the cake decorating section of the craft store, I found champagne bottles that are candles and pulled the wicks out.  At the Kitchen store in the mall, I found a magnet that is a small crate with six wine bottles.  Pried the magnet off with a knife.  I made a cigarette stand to go next to the cash register. 
Now, there is a lovely 3-tiered cigarette stand complete with four packs per shelf of cigarettes, festive with gold, red and silver boxes...I assume Marboro.  And for the cash register, had one from some Barbie set and just gently scraped
the stickers off, painted it silver and glued the graphics back on. 

This is just a the front counter essentially of the liquor store, but it's sooooo adorable.
