Peacock Room Chapter VI


Next to the bed is a suitcase filled with treasures:
pictures of her family:
husband, child, grandchild, mother, sisters and brother,
they are all present and give her a daily smile around her mouth.
The warmth, the solidarity with each other and love makes her a rich person.
She knows this and she cherish this.










On the high bust on the dresser shines a beautiful necklace of small crystals.
A matching bracelet, carelessly lay down at the base of the bust.
The earrings, hidden behind her diary, makes this set complete.
They have little sapphires and are her birth stones.
She attaches great importance to the meaning of these stones as sapphire means hope.
In the ring box is a precious jewel. It was from her mother’s side of the family and is an antique ring with a peridot.





On the right side of the dresser is also a tableau with family heirlooms.
This time from the family of her husband's side: a bracelet of amethyst with matching ring and earrings.
All true showpieces that would have to be stored in a safe
if the sparkle, given by the daily sunlight, wouldn’t give so much pleasure.



If you look closely you can see on the left
a delicate antique French lace shawl almost slip off the table.
Ofcourse the perfume bottles are a must on this beautiful table.

The roses, next to the dresser, are beautiful but on their return.
Occasionally there's a petal swirling onto the ground.
Ms. loves roses. They smell delicious.
The soft petals are carefully picked up and stored to dry.
Some of them are laying down on special spots,
so that they can spread the last perfume that they still carry, throughout the room.
On the diary, which she carefully kept, is also a petal laying down.

Above the dresser there are three portraits of her children, all smiling at their mother.
She has her children given a safe and warm nest and the opportunity to really be a child.
This has greatly strengthened their self-esteem and the three become great adults.
The love she always gave, she gets back from them daily.

Ipswich Stockings Box Kit

I know it is not Haloween yet!
 A while ago I saw this box somewhere in an antique shop on the web and loved it so much that I did developed a miniature kit from it. As you can see the backsite has a lovely graphic as well.
Wouldn't these boxes look fabulous in a Haloween scene or just in a shop or ladies wardrobe?

Beautiful Shabby Boxes

There are so many boxes in miniature! And still........not the ones I desire.....
So, I developed them and made them available as a kit. 
They look wonderful in a shabby interior or  in a wardrobe or dresser. They are just perfect.
Ah, I love them!

Mademoiselle Cobi



When I first opened my store, I couldn't imagine it would be so successful as it is. My only goal was to share miniatures which I love and make or miniatures that are hard to get or hard to find. Therefore I began to design miniatures in the style that I like so much.
Also, I wanted to do something special to my customers. One of our first, and still returning, customer was a woman called: Cobi. A woman full of humor and I imagined that she would be very similar to the image that I used for the designing of the Mademoiselle Cobi Kit. Gratefull for her loyalty, I named this kit after her. With pride I want it to show to you all!
Every time I will select a customer and in consultation with her / him I will design a kit and name it after this customer! Just to show my gratitude.
