Little Treasures from Norway!


A week or so ago I surprised Christel Jensen with a little gift I mailed her. But yesterday I was the one who was surprised with a beautiful gift from Christel. Just look at that gorgeous card!

The most exquisite box of tiny macaroons and a plate of the sweetest little cupcakes.
Here they are in the shabby house (which is really not set up properly at the moment, there's a bit of building work going on!) Don't they just look perfect there?!
I really think I must be the luckiest person around these days!
Thank you Christel!
I thought I'd let you all know that Linda Carswell at Une Petite Folie is in hospital for at least a week with a back injury so we won't be seeing any beautiful blog posts from her for a while.

  12. Hi Mercedes, thank you very much for the kind comments that you left on my blog. I have been an admirer of your blog/minis for a while. You asked about the keys. They are a collection which I have bought here and there and all over, but I can only remember that I bought the last two in Dublin. I can not buy any minis where I live, but whenever I travel, I stuff my suitcases with whatever I can find. Thank goodness it is possible to fit a king size bed and a few other things in with ease!

  16. Oh lucky you!
    I received some of these delightful cupcakes a little while ago and I have put the card on the wall of my doll's bedroom!
    Christel is very talented.
    But so are you! I just love all those fabulous mini items you create for your mini house. I might need a few tips one day because I would like to create a few decorative objects for my doll's bedroom but I need to work in a bigger scale than 1/12th .But anything tiny mini can be made just mini, can't it?
    Your house makes me dream.
    I cannot wait to see your next project!
