Arnhem Miniature Fair!

Yesterday Sylvia and I went to the Arnhem
miniature show.....and we had a great time!

Of course I spent way to much money, but
that is the way it goes.....

I also received some wonderful gifts.




This little basket, Sylvia wickered for me,
beleive me the picture does not do justice to
the perfection of it!



We also met Lissette, she made this wonderful
Duffle coat and toys....I'm realy in heaven!
I love the little details on the coat, the buttons
are amazing!




And these are all of my purchases.....some gifts for friends,
a lot of kits and some other wonderful items for my projects.

Later I will show all the items separately......I also will show
some more gifts I received from Sylvia's Lutje Boudel
and Janny- Art of Mini, but firts I have to make these
wonderful kits!

Magazine!

As I told you all, there is not much happening in
mini live for me at the moment, but there are
still some things I wanted to share with you.


Two weeks ago I went to see my friend
Karin, and as always we had so much fun
together. She had prepared us a wonderful
lunch and she also spoiled me with some
wonderful gifts.

The little penguin she bought for me in Venice,
it is very small and so cute!

Thanks again, Karin...x!


These are some things I purchased at a
jumble sale....

And then there is some other news!!!

My little kitchen is published in a Dutch

Dollshouse magazine: Poppenhuizen & Miniaturen.

5 Pages....wow! It gives me a sense of pride.

Absence!

Hi, all of you!

If you will have noticed I have been absent for a while.
Unfortunately I have no time for Minies at the moment
and I fear this will continue for now. I am simply to busy
with my business right now and I need to focus on it.


Of course I do regret that there is no time for minies and
than it is so nice to receive mini gifts!
Look at this fabulous stich work Sylvia made me!!!
No cold feet when the lady of the Provence house gets out
of bed.

Dank je Syl...xxx!

Late Birthday Surprise!

My dear friend Mercedes, has spoiled me
rotten with wonderful late Birthday gifts!



The gifts were beautifully wrapped and it was
a pleasure to open.



There was a beautiful crown shaped candle
holder in it and the cuttest bird cage I have
ever seen....now I have two!
One for the dollshouse and one for my own
house....how cute is that!

Go to Mercedes blog, to see more wonderful

pics!

Thank you again dear friend, you are the best!

I also would like to apologize for my absence, but

I am currently very bussy with 1:1 scale projects.

I am sorry to say that I even have no time to do

some blogging and read all your beautiful blogs and

provide them with comment.....

Till I have more time for blogland, I will miss you....!

I asked for 1 and got 3?

Sometimes ugly ones can be changed

with some help into something beautiful.

Like this bird cage...I cut out a opening and

removed the bird and......

TADA....!!!!

I finished this bird cage some weeks ago but

only wanted to show you when I had that last

item to put in, and make it complete.

What's a bird cage without a nest, so I asked

my dear friend Mercedes to make me one.

Her nests are the cutest and perfect for my cage.

THANK YOU MERCEDESxxxxxxxx

Some old letters, cards and a rose makes

it a perfect still life.

I made this photo accidentelly but it turned

out very nice with the chandelier on the

background. It is hanging in my study.

Nunu's House!

Everybody has her own favorite miniaturist,
I think? As there are many of you I admire
deeply, there is one miniaturist I find realy
AMAZING!!!!

I follow her for some years now and wanted
to share the link to her side and blog!

I have asked her permission to use some photos
of her blog, to show you a little peak of her skills!

New Stuff!

I have some new items to show you all!

The thing I most hate to do is ironing, but
I had lot of fun with making this little one.

I used as base a white iron Playmobil toy.
Some black paint and a real metal plate at
the underside and a electrical wire with plug,
makes it look more like the real one!

I also worked on some kits I purchased at

Art of Mini

A kit with vintage toy boxes for my

Toy Store!

A sewing kit with all kinds of lovely stuff.

(the buttons I added myself)

A kit with a box to keep the mail in, with

lots of letters and photos.

And this is how it looks when you put all

the items together....I think it will look

nice in the sewing room?

The pincushion I made myself, and the pins

I purchased at the show in Arnhem. They

are so tiny but somehow I succeed to paint the

tops to make them look real.
