Someone Has Been Out Shopping In the Rain
That someone is me. And yes, thankfully we are getting some badly needed rain today.
I was wandering around Michael's craft store and found these tiny purple flowers. When I saw them I thought they had been dried. No! Instead they have been preserved by some method that makes them feel like you just picked them. I decided to add them to some peonies I made.
I also couldn't resist the William Morris acorn wallpaper I found. I guess I have had acorns on the brain lately ;-) The umbrella was a ETSY find. It is just perfect. http://www.etsy.com/shop/FranMadeMinis The the fabric has wonderful fluffy folds at the top.

What a lovely setting you've arranged! It somehow reminds me of the Cotswold and the english cottage! But I'd really love to see the mini house that goes with those lovely bench, basket, flowers, ...

All is perfect, not only the umbrella. As Linda, I'm waiting for… the house! ^^ (The little dog is so cute, too! <3)
ReplyDeleteOh, Catherine, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful scene; I don't often see how others use my work but your setting is exactly what I would hope for. And I saw those incredible purple flowers as well! I'm waiting for a coupon but I have to have them -- especially now that I've seen how perfectly they work as minis.
ReplyDeleteQue escena tan bella !! . Las flores son una maravilla y el paraguas una preciosidad .
ReplyDeleteCongratulations .

preciosa estampa...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love the umbrella and the flowers. It's so hard to find realistic looking ones in the craft stores for mini's. Beautiful scenes.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are just gorgeous! Stunning, everything looks so perfect and you cannot tell it's a mini scene...I'm speechless...you always blow me away!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Catherine, and the tiny purple flowers look beautiful with your fabulous peonies, I must find a kit and make some myself.
ReplyDeleteCatherine,
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your scene!!!
The umbrella is great and the purple flowers are wonderful with your stunning peonies!
In Germany it is incredibly hot with almost 40 degrees and no air condition. It's terrible, please send us the rain.
Todo lo que presentas en la escena me gusta y también el conjunto en sí, su estética y el color
ReplyDeleteMis felicitaciones una vez más.
You are so good at keeping everything in the right scale. Your photos always make it look like someone has just walked out of the room. Beautiful little flowers and such a pretty arrangement.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty vignette! I love your arrangement and am going to have to look into mini flower making myself, someday.
ReplyDeleteHello Catherine,
ReplyDeleteJust enchanting! I love the flowers! you did a great job on the arragement and the vignette is just lovely. Very impressive.
Big hug,
Giac
Love your little purple flowers, you always put together such lovely little scenes.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we will have some spring rain soon, winter has left everything dry and dusty here.
Everything in this scene is gorgeous! Lovely!
