I am starting to believe I'm Santa's favorite this year. A surprise gift, from a very lovable lady, made all the way from Ireland to Israel and arrived safe and sound. It was completely unexpected, I am delighted and happy to receive these gifts. Thank you Maria -
http://prettythingsireland.blogspot.com/ for your wonderful and generous gesture.
Here are some very beautiful miniatures Maria made for me. A bed cover with matching cusions, Two lovely Xmas cushions, a stocking, a mirror, a very cute angel, a wreath and glass trinkets to decorate the tree. Two cloth baskets and a very cute little cloth tray.
A lovely Christmas Card with wonderful inscriptions.
The glass trinkets are adorable. Maria made the little angel from beads.
THANK YOU MARIA!

Blogger published my post before I even finished. (I probably pushed the wrong key.)
The 3 beautiful hats are made by Jenny. I intend to add flowers and ribbons to the the other hats, and make them a special stall for my straw market.
Aren't these cute! I love the bear rug. Attache cases, a mini stove (Magnet) a little grand piano, rocking chair, children' board, fireman helmet, trophy cup, little Xmas present, book... I am thrilled.
Two of Jennifer's so cute and precious cards which I treasure most, especially for the inscription inside.
I am happy to be your friend and I love you dearly. THANK YOU!

Jennifer -
http://plushpussycat.blogspot.com/ sent me all these wonderful miniatures. I am not sure the photos are good enough. You be the judges.
These minis will be for the Gentleman's Study.
Beautiful beads - I am going to use them for many scenes.
Hats - will go to the straw market. The two tiny baskets, one with little pines the other with tiny grapes are very delicate and beautiful. Jenny made the grapes. Maybe if you poke the picture you can see how lovely they are.

About a month ago I won Sabiha's,
http://sabsminiinterios.blogspot.com/, giveaway. Today, coming back home after sending my own giveaway and a Christmas swap, I found, waiting for me a delightful surprise. A parcel from Sabiha containing not only the prize but also a few very precious items.
There was no communication possible between Sabiha and myself. We couldn't get through the email system. Finally Sabiha got my address from a mutual friend and I got this precious prize as well as other very appreciated items. THANK YOU SABIHA for these very sexy, very delicate and exquisitely made pieces of lingerie.
Also included, was a bag full of wooden coffee stirrers. I was extremely happy to receive these. I will certainly use them in the future. It is impossible to get them here.
The beautiful little wooden clog will be added to my miniature collection. The lace trimming is also very welcome and I love the little gourds and the pines. The little sea shells are lovely. The shells here are not as white as these. Thank you Sabiha for all these extras.
It never ceases to delight and amaze me when more people find it interesting to follow my blog. Thank you all. Here is a warm welcome to my new followers:

We are having 3 very rainy days here which are very welcome. Our dry country needs many days like these. Staying inside was very productive for me. I experimented with my sea shells and will show you with photos how to make decorated jewelry or sewing boxes.
I bought the little wooden discs with the intention of making baskets from Casey's tutorials but they
also work for making boxes. You can make them any form you wish, oval, square, etc. You just cut
a strip of card stock the width and length you want, form a ring to fit the disc and glue it to the disc. After the it's dry, you glue on the shells. I cut pieces of felt and glued them to the inside of the box.
I rather like the results but will make more experiments. I'd love to hear from you if you have other ideas for the little shells.
A very warm welcome to my new followers
