Fish Bowl

We were at Target the other day and they had the cutest little bowls on clearance...

        Liberty and I knew exactly what we would put in them......

 

  Fish!.....  Koi to be exact!

 

The bowls were the perfect size for....

 

 for one...

or two Koi!

 

These fish are not 1/12th scale (those are coming) but they were so much fun to make, especially with my side-kick!

Brightly Colored Books and an Assortment of Small Things

I bought a new book the other day.....I didn't know what it was about but I loved the name and the color!  Who isn't curious about a hot pink book titled "Candy?!"                    

                     
                        So, I brought it home and put it on my shelf.......

A couple of days later I decided to open it up and see what this book was all about.....

What a surprise!!!!

A little pastry and gift shop!  Cupcakes, candy sticks, macaroons, sculpted chocolate Eiffel towers, doughnuts............ 

                          
                             Someone had even been eating the cupcakes!!!

There were paper dolls to play with, beautiful Paris signs, an old fashioned Cinderella book, chocolate rabbits, vintage bird tins with chocolate birds....

and beautiful pastry signs on the wall....

I took it all in then gently closed the book and put it back on the shelf ....

I just love a good book, don't you??

Look what I found in my attic!  An old suitcase and you will never believe what I found in it....

 

It was full of treasures....

Letters written long ago.....

Pictures that have survived the years...

                        
                       All beautiful reminders of my parents....

Did I fool you?   I had so much fun recreating all of the wonderful letters and pictures I am blessed to have of my family.....this little suitcase full of memories will be part of my daughters' dollhouse....and it will not be kept in the attic!

*so this is not what I have been working on, that is still to come.  This is something I made quite some time ago and thought it would be fun to share!
