It's the detail in her work that makes it just so precious. I adore the itty bitty bowl of cupcake frosting with the tiny wooden spoon, the one unfrosted cupcake, and the colorful cupcake cookbooks (Ana sent an extra one as a gift--how thoughtful!). Both the picture frame and the hanging picture (which is covered with so many tiny flowers!) are so sweet--I can hardly wait to place them in Cupcake Cottage!
The cookies look amazingly realistic, and the hanging ornament for the drawer pull is so tiny that it's hard to believe! Really, I adore everything in Ana's Etsy shop, Mundorosa, and everything she sent. Thank you so much, Ana!
Speaking of giveaways, some of you may have noticed that I haven't joined as many as before. I've been really looking at what I can use for my projects and joining giveaways based on my project needs. Many of you can relate to having more ideas and miniatures than you can really use. Between giveaways, swaps, dollhouse shops, and miniatures fairs, it is very easy to accumulate a large number of miniatures!
I never want to offend anyone by not joining their giveaways, but I let those who can really use the prizes join, and I stay out of the giveaways if I know the prizes won't fit with my decor or current or upcoming project ideas. I love all of the sweet prizes up for offer, but I can't fit them all in my house! ;-) Thanks for letting me get that off my chest! :-) Until next time, keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer
that bowl of frosting with the tiny cupcakes is amazing! so realistic! I know what you mean about giveaways- i try to only enter the ones that I feel i would actually use as well so that others can have a better chance at winning. i think it's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations dear Jennifer! Ana's work is just stunning and so right for your Cupcake cottage! I love the display.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Drora
Hello, Jennifer!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cupcakes and the cookies!!!
Really wonderful prizes!!!
And I have to say that I LOVE the black and white cat!!! You know that I have 21 real cats, but Beatriz (my first cat) is the love of my life like a child to me, and she is black and white!!!
I love your lovely posts!!!
Mini hugs,
Mariana.
Hi Jennifer! Ana's work is absolutely gorgeous and your Cupcake Cottage si the right place for it, enjoy it! I like the cat too ;)!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion of the give away's: other should have a chance for winning the price too :D!
Hugs, Ilona
Really really sweet miniatures! And yes, so much in your cute style, Jennifer! Congrats! And enjoy them.:)
ReplyDeleteHugs
perfect gifts for your cottage..amazing beautiful work by Ana!!:) enjoy!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone there, I don't sign up for giveaways where the items don't really fit into my projects or style; leaving the odds higher for those who want them :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteWow, Ana's giveaway prizes are so amazingly perfect for Cupcake Cottage!! I love the beautiful colours of her work and everything is so beautifully made. As always you've displayed and photographed these minis so beautifully and Ana will be so happy that her lovely prizes have gone to such a wonderful home!!
hugs ♥ Vicky ♥
Congratulations on winning such a lovely prize! Ana is so talented isn't she! I bought a sink for my kitchen from her and I LOVE it! It will look very nice in your cottage. I also think the cat is very sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you, Jennifer! Everything is just perfect and I'm looking forward to seeing them in your cottage.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely items! :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer, lucky you! Very beautiful minis you won. It is always great to know the minis you win will look great in your cottage! Mini hugs, Natalia
ReplyDeleteThey are truly beautiful miniatures Jennifer - I agree Ana's work is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI understand completely about your views on accumulating miniatures - it is so easy to do & my taste have changed so much (which hasn't helped). That's why I have been furiously repainting everything, lol!
Jennifer... I love your HONESTY! I think it's good to focus on giveaways that fit your decor in minis. So agree!! Hope you are feeling better..I'm on meds now...grrr, couldn't kick it without a doctors visit.
ReplyDeleteSo sad that we aren't at the Good Sam..omg, I bet there are tons of great fantastic minis to be had. Darn. Don't you have a show in Portland this weekend...maybe you are feeling well enough to troop on over. Good luck if you get to good. And, congrats on all your winnings...love the cupcakes. Be well my friend. xoso Sandy
Hola Jenni, Ana es una artista, yo también tengo alguna obra de ella y son perfectas!
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
GRACIAS por no tener palabra de verificación
Hi Jennifer, Ana's work is so beautiful and it fits absolutely perfect in your Cupcake Cottage :)
ReplyDeleteThe cat is soooo sweet !!!
I agree with your opinion of the give away's, I practice it the same way, if I can't use it for one off my project then others should have a chance for winning the price.
Have a great Sunday !!!

Such a lovely prize you got, they all look so realistic, and cute! I agree with what you say about giveaways. They all are lovely, but it's better to concentrate on one's own needs for specific projects. Too much of everything just distracts one's thoughts and plans. Hugs Sanne

The gift is absolutely wonderful. I like to see it in your cupcake cottage. You must be really happy with this.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Craftland
Hmm ... You touch a mild button, I thought a lot about this topic and I absolutely agree with you: the give away is a sign of friendship precious, and for that I thank you forever, but I am involved in extraction ONLY if I think I can use the prize in a current project, so as not to take away the chance to win to other people.
ReplyDeleteOf course, in this case, the prize is perfect for your cottage :-)
In the past I have also been equally blessed by luck and I won a prize by Ana, and I must say that she becomes every day more talented :-)
