Stocking up!

During the summer break I've been real busy making new miniatures for my webshop and I was able to list them last weekend. Here are a few pictures of the new items I made.

French Country style cabinets and chairs

A new theme: Ballet

 

Nostalgic toys

 

Shabby chic

There is lots more, all the new items are listed on the page 'new items (september)'. It would be absolutely great if you would take a peek at http://www.anothercosyshop.nl

Thank you all!

Summer break is over!

Today all the kids went back to school and here I am, sitting at my laptop with a coffee in hand and suddenly it hit me...summer is over. It's so quiet in house...

 

..................

 

These were the first lines for my new blog post but as soon as I had typed them the following happened: one of our sons came back in the house, he went to school only to find out he had to start at 1 pm. So he arrived at school at 8.15 am and got the surprise of his life realising he was the only student there. He failed to check the school program last night (even though I asked him several times).

Oh well...it happens...

 

But then one of our other sons came running back in the house. He's starting college this year and had to take the bus and train to his new school. And guess what? He couldn't find the bus he needed to take. My jaw nearly dropped to the floor since the busstop is so easy to find and I certainly didn't expect this. So, we hopped in my car and I broke some speedlimits trying to get him there on time. He was only a few minutes late.

Today the kids went back to school and here I am, still trying to catch my breath, looking at a cold cup of coffee and I can't stop myself from grinning. Who ever said it would be quiet after the summer break?

 

Time flies...

Is it already july 14th??? I've been so busy lately time just seems to fly. In between birthday celebrations of our youngest son and the festivities because one of our elder sons completed high school, I even found time to make some more miniatures for my webshop.

I've been totally into the shabby chic theme lately,  i'm even thinking in pink and blue, roses, lace and bows . Yesterday I've been filling the webshop with the new items but I just can't resist showing off a bit here. Here are some pictures to give you an impression.

Shutters...geese...crowns...containers...shelves....

banners...tables...birdhouses...

and lots of chairs...

I mean really lots!

Roses and dots...

Pinks...whites...blues...

By the way...I'm stunned how fast the miniatures sell. I have one eye on my email and the first orders are coming in. Yeah!! (hands up in the air).

See you all soon, I'm off to get some groceries and I really..really should mop the floor. On the other hand, the kids love pizza and the floor isn't sticky yet. I'm going to upholster some miniature chairs!

As promised...

This morning I couldn't wait to take some pictures with the photobox I made. It was so much fun filling it with the miniatures that will be listed in my webshop soon. Here's a little peek at the first pictures I made. I know what I'll be doing today!

So if you happen to see a woman with a French shabby chic shop under one arm, a box full of miniatures under the other and a camera around her neck, looking for the best daylight AND with a huge smile on her face don't be alarmed...it's just me and usually I'm quite harmless.

Have a great day everyone!
