GiveAway winner!

I want to thank you all that entered my GiveAway, and became new followers and left all those wonderful comments!!! I wrote all your names on pieces of paper and put them in a straw summerhat, Ootje became very curious and I asked him to draw a name and so he did...Of course he ran off with the paper and gave me a fierce "mine,mine,mine" look! Sweet natured as he is he eventually pawed me over the paper, and the winner is Heather !! Congratulations Heather, please let me know your address, so I can send the surprise to your home....that is, when it is finished. It is not completely finished yet...shame on me! I am going to start working on it right now!! 

Back from Germany

This weekend we were at the 1:12 Show in Rheda-Wiedenbruck. We had a great time in Germany. We met lovely people, saw some beautiful miniatures, bought some miniatures...

The footmen by Sylvia Mobley and dressed by me in light blue silk, decided to quit their job and stay behind...they were muttering about how this is the 21th century, and I made them work too long and too hard..

This lady by Theresa Glisson asked me to dress her in a bright color so the young handsome footman would notice her. She was heartbroken when the handsome young footman decided not to come home with us...

I also wanted to welcome new followers in this post, but Blogger is not showing my followers for two days now. Also I can`t see followers on other Blogs, and I am having trouble leaving comments.
I do hope this problem will be solved tomorrow, when I do the draw for my GiveAway!!!

We had a good time in Arnhem, met some lovely people, sold some dolls and bought some miniatures.
A workshop-kit for a little bed by Sylvia Lutje Boudel, some viscose and silk ribbon from Unicorna, silk ribbon from My Passion, fabrics and lace from Brigitte Lohrmann, silk ribbon and tulle from Hazel Dowd, an hourglass by Reina Mab, red glasswork by Gerd Felka, a rosebush on a stem and some old-looking little pots by Jan van den Doel, green glasswork from Ann High, a speculaasblik from Me and My Shadow, tiny mice bat toadstools crow by Georgia Marfels, a wicker flower-basket by Will Werson, silk tulips and a hertshoorn plant by Carla Zandvliet, a blue and white dish by Cocky Wildschut, flowers by Floras Blomster and a porcelain vase by Dineke Boektje.

Summerdress

Time for summerdresses and straw hats, at least in my miniature world...I used a light and flowery coton to dress  this lady by Sylvia Mobley.

The teenager by Miep Otzen has her own transport: a sedan chair by Christian Neugebauer. I dressed her in brocade, yellow silk and old lace.

Evening wear

More dolls for the show, a gentleman by Sylvia Mobley and a second lady by Theresa Glisson. I dressed them both in evening wear like Lady Peacockfeathers. They asked me what I was going to wear to the show.
"a pair of jeans, sneakers and a blouse" I answered. "Djeens?? What is that, and why you are going to wear two of them..?

I explained what jeans are, thats it quite respectable in this century, still they were quite shocked: "you can`t wear trousers!!" "Well, I can and I am going to! You three can look pretty all day, while I have to crawl under the table plugging in cables and looking for boxes, bags, food, pens, spectacles... anything that`s going to get lost those two days..
