Stools for the Witch

I wanted some stools to put books on, but unfortunately someone used it as footstools (with high heels) and made some dents in it. I think, I have to speak a serious word with my cheeky witch.... Have a wonderful day

Hay Milk

I just made some milk containers for my deli. It's so called "Heumilch" - my favorite! The cows get no silage, only fresh grass, hay and crop (or is it grain?). It tastes wonderful!Shall I make them for the KDF next may? What do you think? And how should I call it? "Fresh Milk" or is there something like "Hay Milk". Questions upon questions... It'd be awfully nice, if you help me to decide.

Herb Containers

And here the promised close up.These are the containers I made for Heinricke & Rainer. They asked for Schöllkraut, Seidelbast and Tollkirsche. That's Celandine (Chelidonium majus), Mezereon (Daphne mezereum),  Deadly Nightshade (Belladonna). The latter ones are really poisonous - I don't want to argue with her witch - that'd be highly dangerous.
I made these containers for the KDF next May with various different tops and a lot of different labels.

Now I can show you....

...one of the minis I made for Heinrike and Rainer. Next time I'll show you the close up....

Years ago a dear friend of mine gave me this wonderful container for herbs. It's made from cardboard - like the mailing tube, only thicker and it has a wooden top. I like it so much, that I've had to make in mini.

Present from Diana

I think, I've told you, that we live just above a nice bookshop. And these days I've got a wonderful present from Diana - one of the owners. This beautiful book:

I was looking for some black & white vignettes, that I can use for very shabby cushions I'd want to make, without violating copyrights and Diana found this old book for me. She finds every book I want to have - by the way.....

 
 

This is her antique bookshop, but she can provide her customers with every available new book. So it's absolutely great to have her in the house - but it also is seductive for a bookworm like me....

Dianas brother Norman paints pictures for the shop. Aren't they cute?!

 

And I really have to apologize for not posting. I'm working on miniatures for Heinrike and Rainer as birthday presents (months ago... thank you for being sooooooo patient, Heinrike!) so they have to be top secret as long as they didn't get them. I wrapped them already and when I started to put them into the box I thought I have forgotten something.... YES! PICTURES!
I unwrapped them again so I can show you what I've made. And I even remembered to put a penny next to the minis - unbelievable! This week I'll bring them to the post office and as soon as Heinrike gives me the nod, I'll show you pictures (with penny!).
