Rosanna made me a tea cosy!!!!

Talented, sweet Rosanna made me this lovely tea cosy!! And as a surprise the sweet "armitié" pillow, along with two boxes and a macaroon! Thank you Rosanna :D

The lady of the french house have had a refreshing morning shower, and wants to enjoy breakfast in her cosy bedroom. She likes to sit there, on the top floor, watch the sunrise and enjoy a nice cup of warm coffee!!!

For all cake lovers!

Selling real miniature watercolor pictures!

I was supposed to be selling these at the Stavanger fair, but could not be there. So I am trying to sell them here instead. They are painted by a norwegian artist: Grethe Selbæk Solemsløkk. Just google her and read about her.

The small watercolor paintings are painted on my request, so they are quite exclusive. They measure about 3 cm X 2.5 cm, some of them a little bit smaller.

1 picture costs 20 €

The first one to ask for a picture gets it, and I will remove them as they get sold!

Enjoy :D

PS: Colors will be a bit different from what they look like on your screen.

If you want to order, just refer to them as number 1 or 2 from the top.

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!

Welcome new followers!

Welcome new followers, always nice to see new names, and look into new exciting blogs!

A happy Easter to you all, from the Easter bunny; Chocolate and me!

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!

Nice to see you, new followers.
