At long last! For well over a year I have wanted a simple basket of croissants! I ordered them from Stephanie Kilgast at PetitPlat. She also sent me a gift of a religieuse. I love it! Thank you so much Stephanie!!!
Something else I have wanted for a long time is a lemon reamer. To go with the hand held strainer and all the other things I made. This boxwood reamer was made by David Edwards. I am delighted with it. I have a slight wait for the bread board I wanted from him with the word BREAD carved into it. Seven YEARS he told me.
I have been working on my next walnut house. It is a shop called Twigs & Berries. Stay tuned. :-)
Perfect items - David Edwards makes the most exquisite things!! Seven years' wait would be well worth it!
ReplyDeleteMore fabulous pieces Catherine to add to an already 'beautiful' collecction.

Fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteI know you can make that bread board in about days worth of hours. Go for it!
Que fantasticas piezas!!!
ReplyDeleteHa quedado una mesa preciosa.
besitos ascension
Beatiful pieces,the table looks perfect.But on the right side you have a wonderful pitcher with silver at the top.Would you tell me who is the maker ?Jeannette
ReplyDeleteJeanette... I made the sterling silver pour spout and my friend Frank Whittemore blew the glass for me. He made the pitcher first. It has a lip the silver pour spout rests on.
ReplyDeleteI have to make more sterling silver for all the other glass serving pieces he made for me to do the same with. I have another pitcher and several other things I should work on. It is just a matter of finding where I stashed the glass now. LOL
Oh, so are you going to wait Catherine?;) Beautiful setting - love all miniatures you have on and around the table:)
ReplyDelete¡Es una mesa preciosa! realmente perfecta! felicidades! Un beso. Maria
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not going to wait... I just heard from Linda Masters. She is going to make me the bread board. YIPPEE!!! I don't know what i was thinking. Her wood carving is the best I have EVER seen!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDamn, I might not even be breathing in 7 years who knows. LOL
Everytime that I see pictures of your kitchen I become shocked..It si amazing how real looks!!
ReplyDeleteso wonderful (I am green of envy ..LOL) and of course the new purchases are perfect!
A beautiful collection but my favourite is your own piece. The silver topped pitcher, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are very patient, Catherine! But it shows in your work and in your scenes.... the details are so perfect and well thought out! The realism is just amazing! Those croissants are worth it! Yum!
ReplyDeleteoh! My God! your kitchen looks pretty darn realistic!

Wow,Catherine,all my compliments !!!The pitcher is really an eye-candy,I love it!You HAVE to find the other pieces and make more !!! Jeannette x
ReplyDeleteI haven't had breakfast yet and you are showing me delicious croissants....Your own work looks fantastic with the pieces you have bought. A seven year wait? That is too funny. I'd hate to be in David's shoes though...
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting Stephanie's croissants for quite a long time too! One day :)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is really beautiful, and I'm just as intrigued as Caterina to see the whole house!!!!
Mini hugs, Lucia

Catherine, What a glorious scene! I love the croissants and that reamer is incredible! How amazing to have a 7 year waiting list for commissioned work!! You are lucky to have received one of his pieces!!! Everything looks so fab!!! I love your style!
ReplyDeletePatty, The good news is I have found someone else to make me the bread cutting board, Linda Master. She said she can get started on it in a couple of days. I know I will be thrilled with her work. She is a fantastic artist. Her wood carving is magnificent. I am sure when it arrives I will show it here.
ReplyDeleteEs una mesa preciosa, todo en ella es maravilloso.
ReplyDeleteDios mio.. 7 años?, no me gustaría estar en la piel de David Edwards!
7 years? Wow! And I feel bad when I say it'll take 6 weeks XD
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the croissants :)
Stéphanie
So beautiful, Catherine.
ReplyDeleteThe way you decorated that scene is simply fantastic and the boxwood reamer is outstanding!!
Oh, I`m so in love with your new pitcher !!
Karin
What a perfectly divine countertop set-up ... you certainly have a way with design and detail, and I especially love ... oh, I don't know ... all of it!
ReplyDeleteWow!! You have an awesome collection of the most perfect minis. That little kitchen scene looks so wonderfully real.
ReplyDeleteMercedes
