Mini Gifts and Breakfast Trays







 Mini Gifts:

 This is my birthday gift from Elizabeth.  When I received it she had packaged it with cellophane and a red cookie star cookie cutter. The attached card had a picture of the items she had reproduced in miniature.





Recently she visited and while she and Bruce experimented with her little Elf camera I unpacked the little parcels she had bought for me.


A potted orange tree.



and a basket of breads...little Eiffel towers, buns, country breads and baguettes.



Elizabeth makes wonderful things in general. I think her breakfast trays are amazing. I own two that I am showing you once again.  I would love to collect more - but then I would be committed to doing a Bed and Breakfast Miniature House!

Note to self:  Finish one thing before beginning another.

So I show great restraint.


Did you notice the little chickadee bird under the flowers on the edge of the tray above?



If  you have enjoyed seeing some of her work, please link to her blog to see more of her trays, tutorials and other projects.  studioeminiatures.blogspot.ca


I try and have her visit us as often as possible. Wouldn't you!

regards Janine

    Good Morning Janine! I actually slept in this morning and awaken to this! Bruce has a magic touch. Many thanks to both of you for this re-gifting. By the way it is no hardshio paying visits to you. Whenever I go, it is like I'm going on a holiday. When I arrive at "Becalmed Cottage", I am warmly welcomed and made to feel right at home. When I'm on the road back home, I feel as refreshed as if I had been been away for weeks rather than just a day. I know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. You and Bruce are,and have always been; the Perfect Hosts!

    Janine, I came back to wish you a belated Happy Birthday! Wishing you a lovely year! Remember you're one year younger than you will be next year. That's what I've started telling myself when another birthday rolls around.
