Hello... I'm back again after a little breather following the big dollhouse opening last week. What a party! The dolls ate donuts and danced 'til dawn. So did we! 'Thank You' again to every body who stopped by and snapped up the goods and left sweet comments applauding our efforts. I think most of everything sold during the first few hours. ETSY upgraded their site this weekend so I haven't had a chance to check on things in the shop, but there might be a few crumbs left. I'm really sorry that some of you missed out, but I happen to know that Grace has a few other really fun things she's working on that will be added soon, so keep your eyes peeled. And I hate to tease you like this, I really do, but would you look at these earrings she made for me. Are they not the cutest things you've ever seen? I'm so completely nuts over them. I still have no idea how this is even possible.
Gosh the weekend was busy. I'd let a lot of things slide while working on the bakery so had some catching up to do. Most of my blog swap packages are at last in the mail. I had help, as you can see. Lily climbed in and inspected every box that went out. Hope no one's allergic to cats like I am, but I so hated to spoil her good time. Patternbee orders are pending, but I'm getting back to them today so don't worry, they're on the way. The mini-treat orders are packed and ready to go. And, would you believe it, I even had time to make a quiche. (I know, how can one person do all this? Well, if you don't eat or sleep, you can. I'm kidding---but not really.) If you've been following along, I'm up to "D" now with the A-Z quiche bake-off I started last month. I think it's so cool that some of you are baking right along with me. Thank you for all the suggestions too, I really did need some ideas. This one was certainly a challenge. Found out, there's just not a lot of foods that start with D, at least, none that you'd want to put in your quiche anyway. Thanks to finding this bottle cap, I think I nailed it though. What do you think?
Dollhouse Quiche!
Perfect quiche for D!! Those earrings are the cutest too!!
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful, beautiful and inspiring ideas and life with us!! You brighten my day always

Oh, I LOVE the earrings! I would not be able to wear them, as I would have to remove them repetedly just to look at them!
Dollhouse Quiche is just too perfect!
The next one should be easy. Eggs.

The earrings are fabulous, I agree with everyone else! I'd have to look at them too constantly!
I think the "dollhouse" quiche looks fabulous. Just the perfect thing for your list.

Oh gosh, you have left me smiling here once again! That little quiche is amazing as are all of the tiny treasures we've been seeing here lately.
I hope you will be able to get a more rest soon. The season to be jolly will soon be upon us and we'll need a little energy left over for that.
Ha...did I just say "left over"? I will need to find some first!

My goodness, Grace is *so* talented!! I'm in love with your dollhouse and keep coming back to look at the pictures again and again...I dream of making a dollhouse with my daughter someday.

Grace is so talented! I would love to see pictures of the dollhouse opening. Also that dollhouse quiche looks deliciously divine!

I love the earrings!
And I've looked at all the dollhouse pics in the previous posts with awe. It's just... well, awesome!

Cool cat! Check out my neighbor's white cat with two different eyes - very similar! And awesome!!!

Vicki,
How terribly smart of you to come up with the doll house quiche! And it looks so delicious too!
The earrings Grace made for you are just the cutest things! Would she be willing (or even have the time) to make a pair commissioned for a Christmas gift?
Your cat is like ours, always inspecting incoming and outgoing mail; especially any and all packages. They are such amusing creatures.

Vicki & Grace,
you've inspired my dd and I to take up some clay and get creative, it's so much fun! Thanks for sharing your creations. I also wanted to let you know I've linked back to you on my blog to show my visitors your irresistible miniatures.
cheers,
Loral
