Gifts from Jennifer

You will all probably agree with me that there is nothing more thrilling for us miniaturing people, than opening a parcel sent by a loving friend and finding out what it contains.

Jennifer - http://www.plushpussycat.com, one of the most generous people in blogland, sent me these precious miniatures.  I hope my photos do them justice.  Jennifer now has a series of  lovely giveaways in her blog, you just have to follow her blog and  make a comment.


I cannot believe anyone would part with this precious mama beagle and her puppies. 


Here you can see Jennifer's calling card.  Isn't it adorable.  Tiny postcards handcrafted by Jenni and
slices of citrus fruit to adorn future cakes.


Yards of pink very narrow lace and tiny seed beads.



Sewing supplies,  I have a soft spot for  these .  One of my first shop facades was  a sewing equipment store.  For some reason unknown, I had several sewing machines, most of them gifts from friends. Something had to be done with these, so I made a facade.  At that time I tried without success, making a measuring tape but couln't do it narrow enough., not even a wooden one.  These are also the first pair of scissors that  were not made by me.

Here is the facade. I had to get off the wall and clean it so you won't see how dusty it got. Everything you see inside, except the machines was done by me.  I also built the facade, the  stones are fired ceramic clay the door from popsicle sticks, windows recycled plastic mesh.




A big THANK YOU Jenni.  I love everything!!!!


We are still celebrating the Passover week.  Many of us took days off from work and enjoy a vacation.
We meet with family and friends and have a good time.  Lots of fattening but delicious food.  I am not one to complain.  I love good food!

I am happy to welcome new followers
