I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The people I have met through blogging are the most generous, giving people. Case in point: after I blogged about my dollhouse, I had a message from a fellow blogger, Marsha of Sassy Mini Dolls. Marsha is a miniaturist who follows my blog (and I follow hers.) She said she wanted to send me a couple of things for my dollhouse to welcome me to the mini community.
Look what arrived today!
Here is a lovely blue hutch, two yellow pillows along with a blue flowered pillow and two mini books, Jane Eyre and Aesop’s Fables.
Inside one of the drawers in the coffee table was a copy of Little Women.
I gathered everything together and was going to put it all back in the box for safekeeping, when I realized I had missed something – this sofa! Marsha, Marsha, Marsha (I bet I’m not the first to say that) you are generous beyond words and I am so grateful for this warm welcome. Everything is perfect and I can’t wait to get home and start work on the dollhouse. I am well aware I have much to learn, but I love a challenge!
Thank you, dear friend.
Update on the previous bird feeder post – there are 15 in the photo. Today I stopped by the tree and counted 18 and they were full of little birds and hummingbirds – I think it was lunchtime.
That’s a nice welcome!
Marsha is the best! She sent you some beautiful things for your new house. You are lucky to have some many wonderful blog friends.
Luv you,
Mere
Dear Claudia, you are most welcome! I’m so excited that you’ve joined our mini-community!
Hugs, Marsha
Hi Claudia,
That was so nice of Marsha, Marsha, Marsha to do (I bet she’s so very tired of that ;) You make me want to go get my old dollhouse out of my uncle’s basement where it’s been for many, many years. I’ve got to go look at my emails, but there’s a lady that has a French Maison that is a beautiful miniature… I’ll be back in a minute if I can find her blog address. Happy night!

Oh my! Such sweet things! I love that blue shelf and the sofa! Wow!
I can’t wait to get started on my dollhouse too. I’ve found so many great mini-blogs with tons of inspiration! I know you are very pleased with your gifts! They’re perfect!
Thanks for your visit and your sweet clothespin memories. What cute little tiny pieces. What a nice gift. They will be so cute in your dollhouse.
How wonderful to receive unexpected gifts Claudia! ~xo~Janet
OK now I am a jealous wreck!!!!
Maybe my doll house era is closer than I think.
Oh, how wonderful, Claudia! You’ll have to post some pictures once you get back home and move the furniture into your new house!
Take care,
Teresa
Claudia, I’ve left an award for you at my blog! Please visit and pick it up.

That is just awesome and so sweet of her!! You know you have me really really wanting to find a Victorian dollhouse to play with and decorate, I’m afraid if I did though Mr. Rose would make me live in it. Our house is getting full of my treasures and collections. lol!!
