Miniature Online Show
Some requests from friends, I have re-made some peony bouquets recently and will be selling in "A Mini Miniature Show"on 13th and 14th August (approximately Friday night 10 pm mountain time (US) the dealers tables will be unlocked). My table is in the group of "Dealer V". Come and discover over 80 artisans/ dealers and their excellent works in the show. See you tomorrow (Paris time)!

Long for Italian food

I have been keeping quiet and taken a break for three weeks. After my family and the hubby left, I read magazines, took a nap on the sofa every day during the first week. It was unbelievably cozy. I adore hide behind the little moment of idleness. XD

I thought I should try something that I have never made to enhance my experience cause I have been just playing clay for three years. These two weeks I tried to make some canning of tomato, different ingredient and components for my mini pizza and spaghetti. 

I also made some packages and pizza boxes for “Oiseau deNim’s Pizzeria & Ristorante”. I hope the black pizza box does not look strange. :P

some chilled pizza...

July is always a special month for me. Yes, the 4^th July was the 2^nd anniversary of my blog and yesterday was our 4^th anniversary of marriage. We reserved a table in the restaurant “Le Lisita” near the arena of Nimes. The weather was great and the food was delicious!

Now, I am thinking of a thanQ giveaway for my blog’s followers. I will make the next post soon.
Enjoy the weekend friends! :)
 

Tiny Portfolios

I received two sets of my portfolios on 25^th May when I came back from Paris. I was so happy when opening the parcel. It’s "Mari@ Il Cucchiaino Magico" who made for me.

Starting to co-work in April, we wrote to each other and checked the layout and details over 80 emails. I felt embarrassed but impressed with Maria’s patience.  :P

Voila! These are what I received. A book of mini food & pastry, a book of mini plants & flowers and a lovely box for two books!  There are 31 pages in each book. She gave me many good and useful suggestions for the inside pages and I completed the cover design.  I saw her passion and the talent when working t with her.  She is absolutely the specialist of mini books; she also makes my little dream come true. ;D 

In another way, it also encourages me to experiment on more new work. Maybe I am capable to have the 3^rd or 4^th mini portfolios in the future. LOL

Discover more delight and treasure in her Etsy shop “The Magic Teaspoon” on and her blog “Il Cucchiaino Magico”!
Have a great weekend, my friends! Thank you too, Maria!

Some treasures from the SIMP

I arrived 30 minutes before the show started. I was the 30th visitor. When the door opened, I walked directly to Elisabath's stand and I am also her first customers. She is affable and friendly! It took time to choose her minis because everything is that beautiful. 

Didier WETZEL's workshops also interest me. He gives not only workshop of furniture but also wood turnings.

The most impressive thing for me is discover "Le Molecole" in the show. Rosanna has sent me her web last year; it was thrilling to see her and her works in the show. I think I spent more than 30 minutes in total in front of her stand. I was struggling!!! LOL

I was happy because I brought several lovely pieces from the SIMP. This is the second time I attend the show; I was pleased to meet Rosanna and Geneviève in person.  I was very satisfied with my purchase too. :D
