To welcome and thank you, a giveaway for you

I did not want to be remiss in sending a special welcome and a warm thank you to all of the followers of my miniature place here on the web. I've spent many years in online miniature communities and groups now and for a very reluctant transient these special places have remained a constant. Even though each move has brought me new opportunities to make some wonderful friends it has been a true pleasure being able to have so many groups and now blogs to be my local miniature 'club' . OK so you know the deal by now, leave a comment on this post if you are interested in the drawing for one of these two collections of sterling vases I made for you. First name drawn will get first choice of sets. No need to post this on your blog but you are certainly welcomed to do so. All new followers are welcome and will be included as well. The drawing will be on 21 Aug. That is two Saturdays from today. Again, welcome and thanks for choosing to spend some of your time here!

Have I ever mentioned that I love old iron and metal things? Well, this vintage table has been my computer space for a few years now.

It is one of my all time favorite furniture pieces. I have been wanting it in miniature but didn't think it would happen anytime soon......and here it is!

It came as an unfinished kit and has been fun seeking it out.

Now for the glass fronted armoire. I'll bet that will be a bit more challenging.......

Mondodifavola is having a giveaway

 You just have to visit her blog here Mondodifavola, you'll be glad you did! 

Holiday swap from Flor and for Anthoula. Thanks Caterina!

Thank you Flor. Your swap items arrived safely and wow are they a treat! Please excuse my photos, I''ve had computer problems and have yet to reinstall some programs. The package is hand painted too.

Flor sent some special item as you will see below. I've never had something mini with my name on it so am really liking the sign. Do you see the cute little rooster and the cow? They are really adorable. Well as you can see everything is great. Mahalo again Flor!!

These are the items for Anthoula. Caterina did not get my photo so I thought to post it here. Anthoula's dollhouse looks to be elegant and traditional so perhaps she will find room for some of these items there. She also makes the most scrumptious looking food.

This was a fun swap. Mahalo to Caterina for her ingenuity and work setting it up.
