Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you like my new look, I needed a change from black. Here you can share my miniature endeavours, perhaps be inspired by some of my photographs taken in France and of 'real world' treasures that can be made in miniature. My love of parterre-style gardens and study of horticulture made my decision for the theme of my little shop an easy one. I just hope I can successfully interpret my ideas in 1/12th scale!

My Lucky Week


I have to say this has really been a lucky week for me. First I win one of Susan's (http://minicrochetmad.blogspot.com) lovely little boxes of embroidery thread, shown above. I used Susan's photo as I don't think my camera would show it too well it is sooo tiny and delicate. Thank you Susan, it arrived so quickly.
Then today I learn I am the lucky winner of Kristy's (http://minimenagerie.blogspot.com) fabulous giveaway and I chose a racoon as I just love them. I will try to photograph him/her when he/she arrives. Thank you Kristy. They have both come at a good time too with my birthday coming up!

And welcome to all new visitors to my blog, I hope you will leave a comment from time to time!

A bientot.

    Your welcome Margaret. I'm thinking I might make a tiny koala teddy bear to keep your raccoon company on his journey. :)

    And Kristy, You are so generous, a tiny koala? Well that would be wonderful, he could keep racoon company, can't wait to see them!

    So you are THE Margret, who'll get the racoon from Kristy. Oh you're really lucky. I also love her racoons most. And I admitt, I'm a little bit envious, but I know, he'll get a nice home! I wish you you much more luck and a very happy birthday - whenever it is...
