Felma's Giveaway

I am happy to show you Felma's beautiful dress which I was extremely lucky to win.

This gorgeous dress came accompanied by the beautifully embroidered card.   A visit to Felma's blog is highly recommended.  Reading her posts just warms your heart. Here is the link http://www.dollhouseminiaturesbyfelma.blogspot.com.  You too, may be lucky enough in the future and win one of Felma's fabulous creations.

I made a special box to display this treasure combined with other treasures received from very dear online friends. It's another Ipad empty box saved from  the garbage bin.

The dressing table is a gift from Cris Cola,  the rug and hat from Jennifer, the bunch of roses from
Rosella and on the table a metal brush and hand mirror from Olga.  I wish I knew how to make short links like I see on many blogs.  Can anyone please teach me how to?

This is how the poor chair looked before I painted it to look a little better in the box.

A rather bad photo of the two boxes side by side.  I am not at all sure if I'll keep the dress in this box. I'll wait till the sewing room is finished to see which box is better.

And a big warm hug to my new followers

Birthday gifts from Jennifer

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, to all my wonderful friends who wished me a Happy Birthday.  You made it a very special day for me.  A special thank you to my dear friend Rosa Margarita, for staying up awake until daybreak, to be the first to wish me a happy birthday. Isn't Rosa Margarita a lovely lady!- http://chiquicosas.blogspot.co.il.

 Gifts keep coming.  Jennifer,  a lovely generous person, pampered me with so many gifts that I'll surely have to share some with you.  I don't believe there is any one of my followers who doesn't know Jenni.  If you don't here is her blog, well worthy of visiting. http://www.plushpussycat.com/

Kitchen staff

DIY stuff

Beautiful, most delicate corset and parasol hand crafted by Jenni.

Very cute bunny, chicks, doves, cat, squirrel, teddy, and a plucked chicken, ready to be cooked. Grecian pillars which can be turned into bird's baths.

Christmas staff

Halloween staff.  I hinted that I couln't find a skeleton to make a Halloween scene.  Jenni sent me
16 half scale skeletons.  These will certainly be shared.  You only have to give me a hint.

Sewing stuff

Tiny shells from far away coasts.
And one of the most beautiful Birthday cards ever.  Jennifer's creation.

THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIEND!

Blessings to all of you

My birthday gifts

Hello all
Today is my birthday. Another year older and celebrating big time.  I received gorgeous gifts from all my friends in Kasia's birthday swap group.  Now that Kasia already posted about it, I am going to show you photos of these gifts by the order of their arrival.


                                               Simona's gifts - http://artcraft-gifts.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Simona. I love everything you sent. The little brass frame as well as the little kettle, will go into the Bavarian rooms.  I'll use the stationary and beautiful cook book in another project. The dress is very pretty.

                                                   
                                              Rosella's gifts - http://ilsallotodellerose.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Rosella.  The radio (I love it!) already went to my antiques market  stand.  I plan to do a new perfume shop facade in which I'll display gift perfume bottles,  yours among them.  I love the " his" and " hers" slippers and the beautiful cushions.  In fact, I love everything.

                                           Fabiola's gifts - http://fabiolamiominimundo.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Fabiola.  Beautiful minis! The cork coasters and placemat are marvelous. I love the grocery paper bag with all the products, as well as all the other miniatures you made for me.


                                           Karin's gifts - http://craftlandminisundanderes.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Karin for all these gorgeous gifts, beautifully packed in this lovely box.  I love them all and am very grateful for the coffee stirrers which you so generously added. 






                                           Gill's gifts - http://makeitsmall.blogspot.co.il/
                                       

Thank you Gill.  You can see now what inspires me to make a perfume shop window.  I love the beautiful boxes and those old photos.


                                           Teresa"s gifts - http://blog.teruka.net/

Thank you Teresa. I love your gifts., the cup of tea with cakes look delicious, the gorgeous roses in the
white pitcher and lovely napkin. The photo doesn't show it very well, there is a pair of spectacles with an exquisitely embroidered case. I fell in love at first sight with them as soon as I saw them.

                                           Maria's gifts - http://prettythingsireland.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Maria, you really spoiled me with all these wonderful gifts.  I love them all.  I have to show two very special fantastic gifts which cannot be seen well in the top photo.

                                           Cristina's gifts - http://minisdecris.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Cristina. I love every single gift you sent. Gorgeous pieces all.


                                           Sandra's gifts - http://samirasminis.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Sandara for these exquisite pieces.  I can't stop looking at the tiny birds and marvelling at how wonderful  this scene looks.


                                           Kaisa's gifts - http://dollhousemansion.blogspot.co.il/

Thank you Kaisa.  I love every single gift here.  The lovely rack, the hand woven basket, the what look like Medieval plates, spoons and forks,  the stationary pieces (Look at the tiny rubber and pencil) and most of all, I am happy that you are well again and planning more swap projects.

                                           Patty's gifts - http://patty-petite-orphelin.blogspot.co.il/

Last, but not least, is this jewel.  A tiny stroller with a tiny teddy hand made by Patty.  I can imagine how difficult it was to part with these beauties.  I love them.

Since it's Monday and most of the members of my close family are working, we are going to have a great day at the beach next Saturday, lunching out in one of the best restaurants.  I am already looking forward to this family gathering.  There are local and overseas phone calls and flowers.

I think I am one of the luckiest persons with all these lovely gifts and to top it all I won Felma's
Http://dollhouseminiaturesbyfelma.blogspot.com/  giveaway, a gorgeous, glamorous evening dress.  Can't wait to hold it in my hands.

I want to thank Cris - http://pequeninasminnniaturas.blogspot.com/ for forwarding me this award.
Thank you Cris for considering me worthy of it.  I am honored.

Blessings from a deliriously happy me to all of you

New giveaway

Who says the number has to be a round one?  It's time for a new giveaway and of course, as usual, the terms
are - Make a comment if your like this giveaway, be a follower or become one.  Only if you want to, make a link on your blog.  The draw will be on Saturday night, 30 June.

All four ceramic pieces are handcrafted by Nilly, my daughter. I made the philodendrum.  It's planted in brown plastelina and can be transplanted any time or place.

I also want to thank Maria Blance - http://lascosasdemariaayamontino.blogspotco.il, Eva -
http://tatalamaru.blogspot.co.il and Sognatirice - http://sognatriceabordo.blogspot.it
for passing on  their award to me.  I am very grateful and, as usual,  offer this award to every single one of my followers as well as to blogs I follow.

I got used to the yellow frame of the kitchen cupboard scene.  Solved the problem of the too high ceiling by tilting the box.  It was a good thing I didn't throw away the remains of the paper shopping bag.  I also added, as friends suggested in their comments, a touch of yellow by changing the flowers. I rather like the results.  I painted white a metal oval frame . The picture inside is a tatoo transfer of a blue flower with a yellow center.

A warm welcome to my new followers

Madelaine - Couldn't locate your blog.  If you have one please let me know so I can follow.
