Oh no!!!! One of my favorite flower kit sellers web site has vanished. Does anyone know if she is still in business. If so would you please leave her new address in your comment. I hope she is OK.
Hi Catherine, She has retired and moved to Sweden ;-) But she has sold the business to a Dutch miniature shop and they are continuing to produce the flower kits. Here is the link:
Hej, hej, this is VaRIAatjes (Ria) and I am very well. As mentioned I am retired and live very happily now in Sweden. But really nice to learn that you like(d) my kits so much. And touching you were thinking about my wellbeing. Thanks!!
I am very happy to know that you are fine and have retired to Sweden. I hope you are enjoying every minute of it. :-)) I am also very glad to hear your kits are still available. They are so lovely!!!
Thank you for coming in and leaving me a message. Please come a visit again soon.
Hi Catherine. Just wanted to reply to your comment on my blog about Peiwen. As far as I know, everything is well with her. As you probably know, she had a baby in December. I've received on email from her since then and I know that she is very busy. She mentioned that she may not go to SIMP this year. I hope all is well with you. As always, I do enjoy popping by your blog and enjoying the eye candy! See you in Chicago?
Welcome to my blog!
I am artist and a metalsmith. I have always loved miniatures and dollhouses. My interest in making miniatures is not restricted to the metal work I do. This year I plan to design and build a dollhouse.
I do not sell the miniatures I am making right now while I am trying to build my own collection.
Who is Kilmouski? ... He's my cat. And he sits right next to me no matter how many hours I work.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me know about Peiwen. I didn't know she had the baby. Now I am wondering what she had...a boy or a girl? :-))
DeleteI am not going to Chicago this year. I all the rooms at the hotel were sold out very early. I couldn't believe it! That place is huge.
