Floras lucky draw...

And I was the lucky winner!!!!!!
It was a beautiful set of two pastel coloured suitcases, so delicate made. They did fit perfectly into the interior of Chanel´s house. She was so surprised and happy :))))

Thank you Flora :))

Spring is in the air....

Today we went for a walk in the beautiful sunshine. It is still very cold, but we managed to se some signs of spring :)
This place has always a colony of swans, they are used to be fed by walkers so you can get very near them without hearing any "hissing sounds".

The diningroom was looking nice today :)

Just some new pictures....

The sun was shining into the dollhouse today...beautiful light!

The cabinet on the right side of the fireplace is replaced with one from the downstair shop....just temporarily. And the other cabinet has new doors :)

More then one year since my last post....

No, this is NOT a miniature picture, it is my job :)
Probably why I haven't touched my miniatures or done anything to my french house for a looong time! My job at Lene Interior gives me enough interior challenges to keep me satisfied.
Lene, who owns the shop, gives me the opportunity to do as I like...luckily we have similar taste :)

The shop sell brands as Riviera Maison and Scapa

A new project !

My daughter Victoria's first attempt on making cupcakes :) She watched the lovely cupcake-tutorial made by Christel, and used Christel's molds to make her own cupcakes!! It was quite easy, and Victoria did not even have all of the equipment required for making them.... I think she did a great job:)
They are going into a new project....something I gave Victoria back in 07! My dear and generous friend Janne made it possible for me to work on this project and make it even better than I first imagined it to be...and Victoria is very happy with it :)) As soon as it is glued together, and look a bit organized, I will be back with pictures!

  

My Christmas tree!!

I haven't had a Christmas tree in my apartment for the last 3 years. That's because I have been traveling to Bergen to spend Christmas with the children. I did collect Christmas ornaments for 25 years, but they are all in Bergen now! But this year I wanted one. I have started a new collection, and today I purchased a tree! It's an artificial tree, and I actually prefer them to the natural ones. I think it's crazy to by a really expensive natural tree and then trow it out after 3 or 4 weeks!!! I always felt bad when I did that :((
I don't have a lot of Christmas feeling ....as usual, maybe because it's raining all the time. But the tree did help a lot :))

As my collection is not enough to fill the whole tree, I needed to fill it with all the possible items I could think of!!

Christmas decoration....but just a bit!

Chanel is moving back into her house and she wanted to start the Christmas decoration while the living room still was empty! While she has been living in a box, some of her furniture has been worked on to get a more french look! Her shop is closed until after new year, due to some interior work. It suits her well, because now she has a lot of time to slowly move everything back into her house...she really missed it!

In front of the fireplace is a box containing a bit of christmas decorations. The box is made by Janne in one of our "miniature evenings". Together with  Janne and Rita, I made two Cristmas stockings and the green heartshaped moss covered thing on the floor! The rest is gifts from Janne :) The wreath and the guirlander
is made by me.
