Firstly , can I say thankyou so much for all your lovely comments on my blog yesterday about the new Alice roombox, I really appreciate you all finding the time to leave your feelings on it, it spurs me on, and makes me want to do more projects to show off! I know everyone leads busy lives so its so lovely to see friends find some time to leave a little comment on what they think of what youve done, its very heartwarming!
I took lots of night time shots of the shop last night, but wanted to give you a break from it for a bit so what better way than to show off some parcels recieved in the last few days from incredible friends!
A while ago I made a comment on the wonderful blog by Sabiha, on her beautiful new dollshouse! Sabiha had made some darling little pegs for a washing line out of ornate toothpicks and I left a comment to ask how they were made so I could follow suit for some for Lolas mouse house.
And then in the post arrives this pretty parcel , wrapped in these gorgeous little boxes, with pressies for lola and I, and some sets of the toothpicks for us to use too! How kind, thankyou Sabiha. Lola is very behind on showing off a multitude of lovely gifts and minis , so Im leaving her gifts to show herself, and she will do it soon I promise!
But in the mean time, look at these stunning little Alice themed perfume bottles from Sabiha, she made herself! So, so perfect! And lots of beads, and some fabric hearts too that I already have plans for and think Sabiha will like what i have in mind when its made! They will all be a wonderful addition to the Alice room i think you will agree!
And one of the parcels was wrapped with the sweetest Cameo, which I have a special love of, so this will go on a ribbon around my neck Sabiha, its so adorable thankyou for all your kindness all the way from Holland!
And good minds think alike as Dear Janice also saw my blog comment on Sabihas blog and she saw these detailed toothpicks and sent them to me to use, and also previously had sent some sheets and cut outs of card as samples for future brickwork and roofing work. Janice always sends me something if she sees it and thinks of me, its so very thoughtful thankyou too Janice! I have already used some of the brick card slips and will certainly be going for some cards in the future, nice and easy to cut out and use!
Lola and I will be trying out the toothpicks and Im also thinking of using them to make some orante scrolls for the wizard house! Will let you all know how they turn out!
As I said before dear Kat and Nicky C sent my Emily lots of material and bits and bobs for her Uni project, which I cant get pics of as shes already delved into the stash and used lots and put away the rest for future work, but we both apprciated it so much, it was a great help to her!
But as well as sending the material Kat kindly sent me some bits and bobs for various projects and as always i love my Kat parcels, always full of fun and different things to use thankyou Kat!
So sending huge hugs to my friends, what a wonderful group of thoughtful ladies you all are!

These are truly superb presents and oh so beautifully wrapped too! Just kindness and generosity abound!! :o)))
When I saw the tooth picks I instantly saw wands and ends for scrolls. I have no idea where Janice bought hers as I've never seen that type to buy in the UK.
I don't think I have the patience to make those tiny dolly pegs...but they are wonderful nonetheless! :o)))

Yep Michelle good minds think alike, I thought wands and scrolls if Lola will let me nab a few lol! I will let you know if any turn out ok! Im like you, beautifully presented parcels mean so much to me, I wish I had the patience and time to learn the lesson and do it for others as its such a wonderful thing! Its a lovely feeling too, to have such kindness from people you meet only virtually but are willing to share and give so much to others. xxx

How wonderful and sweet of them! :)
What wonderful pressies Kate! The perfume bottles and cameo are beautiful. You have thoughtful friends.

You are welcome Kate. It was no trouble at all. I think the scroll idea is excellent, I keep trying to think of ways to use them too!
