About

FAYS MINIATURE WORLD

 In 1978 Fay started making miniature ornaments and the magical  Fay’s Miniature World began. With the amazing support of her husband Norman, they created  Fay’s bespoke material, method, and style of ornaments. In the early 80’s Printer Trays became very popular. This hobby of collecting small figurines grew. Fay’s magical little artworks were quickly appreciated for their unique beauty, high quality, and intricate detail. 

Myself, Charmaine, and my sister Angie grew up surrounded by our mom Fay’s miniatures and her amazing creativity. We both felt passionate about this craft and joined Fay in 1989. Fay encouraged us to start our own separate range, developing our individual unique styles. Each ornament has the maker’s name written underneath and is lovingly hand painted.


Fay’s Miniature World makes a wide variety of designs with many options for people to collect. The miniature ornaments and fairies appeal to customers of all ages. Fay’s Miniature World started its craft stall/shop at the V & A Waterfront (Watershed) in 1991 and had many loyal customers over the 30 years of trading there. Unfortunately in 2020 ,due to the effects of the Covid outbreak and lockdowns, the hard decision was made to permanently close the Waterfront Stall.

Fay sadly passed away in 2021. Fay’s magic, creativity, and passion will live on as  Charmaine and Angie proudly carry on her legacy, lovingly making Fay’s Miniature World ornaments. Thank you to everyone for your invaluable support and for keeping Fay’s dream alive.
