My Beautiful Birds and I am a winner!!







One day to go til my birthday and we choose my little house elf's new name, but before that I simply had to show off a pressie to myself that came Saturday and I just adore!

These beautifully made birds are made by Nicky Cooper http://nickycc.blogspot.com/ and I could not be more delighted with them.

I found Nicky's work and thought how well the kingfishers would fit in the Snow White garden and then discovered the fab butterchurn for inside!

Nicky sells the most wonderful selection of birds as well as other animals and people too of course!

I am now officially hooked and will be back for more and more to add inside and out in the Snow Houise, they are just perfect for it.

Nicky was so kind and included a pretty little birdhouse in with my other birds, thankyou Nicky, it will look lovely on the edge of the house.

Im hoping for some rabbits, and maybe even the odd deer here and there too :-) Getting ahead of myself as usual with so much to do.



I had the best of surprises yesterday too!

Not the best of Valentines Days having a lousy cold and cough ( although I got some beautiful gifts from John :-) to cheer me up ) so when I turned on the PC to check my emails last night how pleased was I to discover I'd won the most exquisite 1 144th scale dollhouse made by the talented Lori of http://ohminiofmine-loshcosh.blogspot.com/

I have drooled over Lori's houses many a time . I adore the Beacon Hill especially that she is making at the moment as I have the 1 12th scale house as my haunted house and wonder if Lori has ever done a 1 144th scale spooky one as that will be on my wish list!!

When I entered her 100th follower giveaway draw I never expected to win. I never win anything ever!

Lori has made up this beautiful house but it will be painted and decorated in my choice of colours and even landscaped! I am over the moon to win and cannot wait for my little dream house to arrive. Incase you are wondering what I will choose, as I have a love for the darker side usually, then no this one will be a real girly house in shades of pinks and creams for one of my prettier dollshouses! Thankyou Lori! Just shows I should enter things more often, maybe I should have entered the Euro Lottery last week if Im in a lucky mood, I could have been the lucky 56 million UK winner! I WISH!!!!!



Thankyou to you both for making my day!

Back tomorrow Night
