She and Flossy have been baking again. Look at what (or who?) made it to the top of the tree!
Speaking of amazing gifts, here's a teeny tiny miniature winter scene made by Volker Arnold and given to me by Birgit of BiWuBaren on the Blog. Do you see all of the details? Can you believe it is extremely thin laser cut wood?
I committed a "faux paw" (faux pas), I'm afraid, when I painted it white, but I just love how it looks in Cupcake Cottage's shabby chic bedroom. Thank you again, Birgit! You sent so many generous gifts!
Now it's time for some hot chocolate and gingerbread men, a gift from Sophie and Flossy to all of you, dear readers. Please have a a sip and a bite. Is it tasty?
The wonderful hot chocolate set is by Beverly of Cute in Miniature on Etsy. Her combination of realism, vintage charm, and fun in dollhouse miniature food is unstoppable! Check out her shop and enjoy!
Until next time, keep having fun! xoxo Jennifer
Hello Jennifer
ReplyDeleteMmmm! Hot chocolate I could need. It looks so cosy in your house. The wooden winter landscape from Birgit and Flutterby are so gorgeous. Do you realy paint it in white? I like white too, but this wood are so bright
Nice weekend

ReplyDeleteHugs Maria
So nice Christmas tree! I know how do you feel when you want to open the presents and you can't :)Lolita and I send you and Sophie lots of kisses and hugs:) Merry Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteAh, such cozy and cute scenes! Beautifully presented and shot. I love how Sophie sits anxiously awaiting the moment she can open her gifts. We all know that feeling :o)
ReplyDeleteI also love the stunning gift from Birgit. It's very pretty. And of course, I'm delighted to sit down for a cup of creamy hot chocolate and yummy gingerbread cookies! Thank you ever so much, Jennifer, and big hugs!
Don't worry, dear - if you like it white better it's up to you! ;O) Usually this kind of Christmas decoration is only bare wood, but in the meantime there are some coloured ones, too. And we should not forget that this kind of decoration comes from what we call a "Schwibbogen", the traditional ones have a bow and they were made by poor miners in an area near to Dresden and Leipzig and it symbolizes the end of the mine's tunnel - and the hope for light. So what could fit better than painting it white? And please tell Sophie she shall be brave, she can stand that temptation - opening Christmas presents too early would be like robbing yourself... ;O)

Poor Sophie, only 10 more days and you can open your gifts :) The gingerbread men are so cute and the hot chocolate looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I love this wonderful post Jennifer!! It reminds me of the excitement I used to feel when I was a little girl. I used to squeeze and shake all my presents and I found it so hard to wait :) I love the little hot chocolate set and the gingerbread men, what wonderful purchases, they are so perfect!!! Big hugs ♥ Vicky ♥
ReplyDeleteLovely little scenes, Jennifer! I love those gingerbread cookies! You have such a knack for setting up scenes. But then, your characters are so endearing!

Che tenera Sophie!! Coraggio, ormai manca pochissimo!! Bellissimo il regalo di Birgit, hai fatto bene a dipingerlo di bianco è perfetta con l'ambiente!
ReplyDeleteIo accetto molto una bella cioccolata calda, anche se in verità qui a catania ci sono circa 20°C !!
Un bacio e buona Domenica,
Mely
I am the same as Sophie- I am so impatient when it comes to presents and spend ages feeling and rattling them! I wonder what's inside Sophie's presents....
ReplyDeleteI love the little candycanes on the tree by the way- they fit in perfectly with cupcake cottage! And the little wooden winter scene is amazingly intricate!
How I love this Christmas scene: waiting untill you can unpack the presents can be hard ;) The hot chocolat and the gingerbread men are wonderful, nice purchases, Jennifer. The gorgeous gift of Birgit is so sweet of her, enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Ilona
OMG!! I think these are the cutest photos ever!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much Christmas atmosphere, so many sweet little things in there I feel I must shrink down and join Flossy and Sophie immediately!!
