On december the 11th..

The two small perfume flacons in the middle of the picture are my calender gift for Annie today. Annie made the bag herself, and I think the colors fits nicely in. The duck must eventually have become wellknown being photographed that much, and you can still order it on Petit Brocante.
Hope you will have a nice weekend..

A wonderful day

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with Annie. We went shopping materials for miniatures as well as some small accents for our large houses, and we had lunch in a nice quiet place, that calls itself a "gourmet café". I had moulles, the french way in an iron pot, yummy. Then we gave each other presents from the Annnie Box and the Susanne Box, just like we use to do. Look what I got from Annie, most of it is from her webshop Gypsy Boudoir. It is all SO nice, pictures don´t do justice. Thanks Annie for a lovely day!

First there were things to create a special christmas feeling...

Then I got beautiful items for a womans boudoir...

Baskets and bags

I am spending my time in my summer house with very few materials for making miniatures. But I found some paper ribbons for wrapping gifts in the supermarket and my crochet needle. So I have been making a few baskets and bags.
The first baskets are for vegetables (I wish, I had some miniature tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and onions here, so I could show you). The ones with the pink line will go into the bathroom, I think. And the bags might be used for a trip to the local farm marked..

Contamination

It seems like a lot of mini bloggers have caught a quickly spreading occupation of making bags these days. I also got it. So I went to the leather shop "Læderiet" to day to get some material. I could have stayed there for a very long time, just looking around and enjoying the smell, but my husband was waiting in the car ;-)
I found some nice things, some of these are colored snake skins, others are imitation made on goat skin. Here are only a couple of them, I think I will have enough for serveral bags, some purses and if I get the courage, some shoes too..
The picture is a little bit too shiny.
