Gorgeous! Ladurée Religieuses come to my home

I was so delightful when opening the parcel of Alison of Bliss Miniatures. This is the BEST miniature religeuses that I have ever seen. Look at these details that Alison has made… I adore them.

When I noticed Alison’s Etsy shop last year, I have made up my mind to own some of her works. In July, when she launched her web, I saw the little religeuses waving the hands (yes) and they beckoned my spirit. This is what I could not resist. They are that realistic and darling. I must make a beautiful home for them.

The mini sofa and chair were purchased from eBay UK. They were second hand ones, so the price was not expensive. The most difficult part was removing the paper patterns. I did the job in mid-July, as you can imagine how much sweat has mixed with Tacky Glue.

I am so pleased to have Alison’s religieuses, the rose and the cupcake come to my home. I do hope someday I am capable to make some pastries as beautiful as hers!! (Thank you Alison for such wonderful creation!)

Flower of April- Peonies

I have chatted with a friend about a dreamy wedding scene recently. I started to make some peony bouquets since I believe peony is popular and welcome for most of brides.  

After seeing these flowers in full bloom on my craft table, I suddenly became conscious that I needed to force my chef to be back to the tiny kitchen. She has been spending too much time in the garden.

Have a cozy weekend and hope you love my tiny flowers, friends! Don't forget our giveaway either! :o)

Flower Baskets, Lunar New Year & AIM February’s Issue Magazine

A mixed post.... :D

I continue making some flowers and oval baskets recently. I also tried a square one on Sunday evening but I did not get a good result. Will have a try again this week.

The chef of my mini kitchen goes temporarily on the strike. I hope she will be back soon! LOL

Today is the last day of the year of Tiger; most part of Asian people now is having the family reunion dinner. I went shopping yesterday and will prepare a very spicy hot pot for this evening.

I know a Shanghai girl, who marries a French, in the school since last year. In this city, we are the only ones who could talk with each other in Mandarin. Now we both often drive out, go shopping and have lunch in restaurants together. She, her husband and their big dog will come to our home and celebrate the New Year’s Eve with us.

Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone!! Here I wish you great fortune and great favour in the coming Rabbit year!

Another very important thing is AIM February’s iMag is out! I have downloaded the file and will read the topic of this month ‘Shabby Chic’ in the cozy afternoon. Enjoy it! :o)
