Gardening tools!
Hello everybody! Back home from a great trip to the US. Stayed a while with Nancy in Minneapolis (She´s a good friend who also helped me editing my english translation of Et Dukkehjem) She lives in a cosy neighborhood nearby the airport ( and Mall of Amerika!!!)
One day we went shopping in her neighborhood and found a wonderful shop with all kind of flowers and garden accessories. I also found these sweet rusty miniature garden tools, watering can and the lovely bench. The shop is named "Twiggs" owned by a lovely lady by the name Beth Patrin ( 612-823-TWIG). And of course, I had to pay a visit to "Little Enchantments". As far as I know it´s the only miniature shop in MN. I only bought some frames,"Museum gel", a bottle of Perrier, spring onions and Nacy bought me the cellery, (because I like it so much in real life!) Thank you Nancy!
More pictures from the trip will be posted after the weekend!

Antibes!
Denne kofferten kjøpte jeg i Antibes, Frankrike i fjor høst. Jeg kjøpte den i en butikk som heter "Pierrot la Lune". Innehaversken av butikken hadde bare fornavnet på damen som hadde laget den, Ingrid. Hun bodde i Biot, utenfor Antibes. Er det noen som kjenner til henne?Kofferten skal jeg ha i atikvitets/blomsterbutikken i det franske huset!
I bought this trunk in Antibes last fall. The shop is called "Pierrot La Lune". The shopkeeper only new the makers first name; Ingrid, and she was living in Biot outside Antibes. Does anyone have any knowledge about her?
The trunk is going into the antique/flowershop in the french house!

Vanity table for the french house
Here is my vanity table for the dressing room in my french house. Yesterday I was really inspired and started doing this. It´s going in the room behind the bedroom. From this room there is going to be a stair down to the living room. The chair is made by my youngest daughter Victoria! The table has a piece of lace around it,
All of the perfume bottles are made by me, also the pink book at the end of the table. (I´v used some very thin chocolate tinfoil to rap around the book) The wrist watch, hairpin and fan are made by Cilla (minst.com) The Easter chocolate thing on top of the book is made by an italian "company" : Bet Un Mondo in Miniatura The pink tray is made by Victoria Fasken. The "Camé" and it´s box are made by the sweedish; Mette Möller, "Memdolls"( I think she only sells at fairs, and she was at the Stavanger fair) I bought the lamp at a british fair. The neckless and the mask are also from different fairs. I got the wallpaper from a store in Bergen, it´s real size!

Velkommen
Det er på tide å ønske gamle og nye følgere velkommen!Jeg blir kjempeglad hver gang jeg ser et nytt ikon i følge visningen. Det er utrolig hyggelig å bli "fulgt"!!
I den anledning poster jeg dette bildet fra et av husene jeg presenterte i Et Dukkehjem. Dette er et hus som et tegnet av Tove Jonsgar i Bergen, møblert med møbler laget av Cilla på Minst.com, Stockholm, blomster Wenche Viul, Oslo og dukke av Jan Clarke, England.
Huset måtte dekoreres før foto-opptak og det tok ca 3 timer å få det ferdig!
It is time for me to welcome old and new followers!
I am so happy each time a new icon from a follower pops up. It´s so nice to have followers!!
In that occasion I want to post a picture from one of the houses I presented in Et Dukkehjem. The house is made by Tove Jonsgar in Bergen, furnished by Cilla at Minst.com, Stockholm, flowers by Wenche Viul, Oslo
and the doll is made by Jan Clarke, England.
I had to decorate the house for three hours before it was ready to be photographed.
Thank you, Zaphia!!
I would like to pass it on to these fabulouse blogs:

Vinter- weekend!
Kanskje dette kan forklare hvorfor det går så langsomt med det franske huset, også i helgene!Her er fra søndagsturen i fjellene i øvre Rendalen i Hedemark. Bildet viser Rendals Sølen sett fra Veslesetra.
These pictures might explain why the progress on the french house is slow, also during the weekends! These pictures are from one of the trip this weekend. It´s shows some of the mountains in upper part of Rendalen, Hedemark in Norway.

Ralph Lauren huset.
Jeg vet jeg har lovet å sette inn flere bilder fra det franske huset. Men jobben tar desverre mesteparten av tiden min. Så derfor viser jeg i mellomtiden dette bildet av et Ralph Lauren inspirert hus. Jeg laget det for Toves Dukkehus i Bergen. Hun brukte det som vindu´s dekorasjon sommeren 08. Det er også masse bilder fra huset i Et Dukkehjem. Bladet kan du kjøpe via hjemmesiden:www.etdukkehjem.no. Bladet er desverre nedlagt men du kan kjøpe tidligere utgitte numre!
I know I promised to post more pictures on the progress of the french house, but since my regular work is taking all my time, there is no progress. Instead I want to show you this Ralph Lauren inspired house I made for a dollhouse shop in Bergen last summer. I did make an article from this house in my magazine "Et Dukkehjem". The magazine is closed down, but you can by back issues by logging on to: www.etdukkehjem.no

Thank you Erika!
Thank you for giving me an award Erika,
even though I almost never publish anything on my blog!
I´v being very busy making the new magazine for my new
home town and I will publish the address for the home page as soon as the magazine is put out on the page.
During the weekends I am living at my boyfriends farm, trying to relax and do some cross country skiing. Sunday I did about 10 kilometers!!!
I am thinking of moving my french house to the farm, then I can do some work on it soon....

Stuen
Dette er det rommet som er nesten slik det ferdige resultatet blir.
This a room that looks almost as I want it to do!
Spisestuen
Masse detaljer mangler og bordet er altfor "nytt".
Still missing a lot of details and the table is looking too "new".

Endelig noen nye bilder!
I anledning et intervju i lokalavisen her om dukkehushobbyen min måtte jeg forte meg å møblere det enda uferdige franske huset.....
Det er ikke sikkert det blir helt slik når det er ferdig men dette er omtrent slik jeg vil ha det.
Har enda masse bilder og ting til huset men det kommer etterhvert!
I was giving an interview to the local newspaper about my dollhouse hobby and had to quickly furnish the still not finished french house....
It is probably not going to be quite like this when it´s finished, but this is almost like I want it to look.
There is still a lot of pictures and small items to put in it, but they will be there later!
An award!!
Thank you Rosanna, you are so kind!
I am just sitting here doing some work on the French house,
and I hope to post some new pictures tonight.
Thank you so much for the award :-)
