Sandra's giveaway - http://snippetsfrommystudio.blogspot.com/

Today, Sandra's giveaway prize arrived.  I am now the very lucky and content owner of one of the most beautiful giveaways on the blogs.  I have no words to describe the beauty of these two of Sandra's creations and hope the photos do them enough justice.  Even the packaging is beautiful and thoughtful.
It made all the way from Australia to Israel whole and safe. 
The cushion is stiched on, what I believe is 40 count silk canvas.  You need a magnifying device to do this work.  The flowers are tiny.... and exquisite.

THANK YOU SANDRA!!!!!

A winner

I've added four more followers to the list of participants:

It has been a very exciting experience.  I wish I could give each of you, my dear followers, this giveaway but alas there can only be one winner. I do appreciate your participation and thank each and every one of you so much for your encouraging comments.

Very soon, at the end of November I'll have another giveaway to celebrate one year of blogging.

Blessings

Day before my giveaway draw

There are already 82 participants and the draw will be tomorrow.  I made  4 numbered lists, in the order of the comments. I'll add to the last list if more people comment today.  This is what it looks now. If any one still wants to participate,he/she can do so today and tomorrow morning, I'll just add a new page.



Every line will be cut out, folded, and go into a ball.  All the folded notes will be mixed well and one
will be picked out by one of the young ones.

Good luck!

Gifts from Rosa Margarita

Yesterday I received these most precious gifts which made all the way from Mexico.  When I opened the envelope and saw what this dear and generous lady made for me,  I just melted down with emothion. With the tiniest sized crochet needle Rosa Margarita created a set of baby garments so delicate and so beautiful! I hope my photos give them enough justice.  In addition, the lovely little doily which will go right away into the Bavarian scene.

Thank you Rosa Margarita for these beautiful gifts which I am going to treasure. Muchas gracias!!!

Bavarian furniture

These pieces of furniture are a gift I received from my daughter Galia, sometime ago.  She bought them for me while vacationing in Austria.

They look home made, probably by a loving grandfather.  They are not new, some children already had fun playing with them.

The bed was too short.  I took it apart and made it longer by using tongue depressors.

Shall have to make beddings to cover this ugly look.

I love the hand painted decorations.

Now it's my turn to play and have fun by adding more pieces of furniture, accessories, rugs, etc.  What I have now iare a few pieces for a bedroom and a nursary.

It's also time to extend a very warm welcome to new followers

The cat concert

This time it's not about miniatures.  I just want to share this short, one-reel 1947 animated cartoon with my fellow bloggers, especially, Karina, Jennifer, Casey, Sans and all the others who post the humorous, entertaining and cute stories through their miniatures.  Many more bloggers do so, but in languages which I do not understand and I , herewith, appologize for not commenting.

I hope you'll enjoy this wonderful work of art as much as I did.

Blessings

Het Muizenhuis

At last, I am the very proud owner of Karina's first edition bestseller "Het Muizenhuis".  The book arrived today.

I don't speak Dutch, but the photos speak for themselves.  They are marvellous.  Beautiful scenes, mostly Karina's creations. What a talent!

Thank you Karina for this wonderful gift.
