Gifts From Maria, Kikka, and Drora

More birthday gifts have arrived! I feel so grateful to have such sweet blog friends. First, Maria of Pretty Things Ireland blog sent all of these darling handmade gifts, plus some yummy chocolates that didn't make it into the photo ;-) :

The red sweater on the left is being modeled by Orange Blossom in the top photo. It's a perfect fit! And here's a close-up photo of the sweet beach bag and hand painted teapot Maria made, using a Sylvanian Families bed that Maria thoughtfully sent as a backdrop:

Aren't they pretty? I love the bag's vintage-style fabric and the teapot's fun colors!

Kikka of Pieni Sammakko blog sent all of these lovelies, including both handmade and vintage minis, beautiful fabric, cute Moomin stickers and two cute cards, one for Easter and one for my birthday:

Here's a close-up of Kikka's handmade gifts. The pink box in the front is a tiny box of Hello Kitty bandages with even tinier bandages inside--too cute! The two yellow boxes on the right are boxes of Easter Peeps. Kikka scanned a real life box to make them! Everything is so pretty, including the spring daffodils!

And finally (for today), Drora of Drora's Minimundo blog sent these gorgeous gifts with a beautiful card:

Just in front of the card are two halvah bars--yummy! Drora's minis are always so special. She even made me a matching basket of flowers to go with the basket she sent for Christmas. The pair look lovely together on Flossy's porch. :-)

Here's a close-up of the darling teapots Drora sent. They're so pretty and cute!

Thank you Maria, Kikka, and Drora! Your thoughtful and beautiful miniature gifts, and especially your gifts of friendship, are such treasures! Until next time, keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer

Surprise on Flossy's Doorstep

Flossy heard a light scratching at her door. When she opened it, she found a bouquet of beautiful white flowers and an adorable puppy.

It looks like the puppy has found his new home, and Flossy may have a secret admirer as well. ;-)

The gorgeous wicker furniture set, bouquet of flowers, magazine rack (not pictured) and sweet dog with bed were all special gifts from Drora of Drora's Minimundo blog. I helped Drora with a computer issue, and she sent all of these precious gifts, which I adore! Thank you so much, Drora! It was my pleasure to provide assistance. I will treasure these beauties and your friendship forever!

Drora has such a warm and inviting blog full of helpful miniature tutorials. In fact, she has tutorials for making the wicker chairs here and the table and other accessories here. And recently she added a darling tutorial for making a miniature frog teapot here. Until next time, keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer
