JUUBIIII 100 followers and a giveaway

I just have to share with you, that I reached my 100 followers, and as that is a very happy

event for me, I want so much to have a giveaway for all you dear friends, out there.

Here is a little glance of the sweetie I will send off ,to the one of you ,being the winner-

She is still waiting to be finished ,but as you can see ,she is a little oldfashioned girl, all neutral in

colors, and very kind.

This is a bit of her skirt, I so hope you likes her and wants to see her in your home.

As I`m not good with the computer tecnick, I`m not sure if I can find out placing a button,well I will try. But all you have to do is to make a comment on this blog, and the 14/4 I will draw the winner. You are all welcome.

******************************************************************

I haven`t had much time to make up for easter, but I displayed my beautifull gifts from Julia

in this lovely white oldfashioned bowl,

I so love them resting on the mossy bed.



I hope you are all well, and having a good and restfull start on the easter hollydayes.
Blessings, and loving wishes, for a happy easter to everyone.
Love and hugs, Dorthe

Post to a dear friend, new blog head, and a rose

Here is a very little taste ,for my dear friend "J" , laying on top in the package I send off to her

yesterday. I hope it will arrive before easter, but ............... if not ,she has to wait till after.

I know I already told you about Karen helping me with a new background on my blog,

but after that, my blog head did not fill out the space,- so I was happy when she made me a new head.

I think she did a wonderfull job, and I`m so very thankfull, and happy for my new look.

If you want a change on the look ,at your blog, visit Karen ,-she is very pleasent to work with, -sweet, and her prices. are very reasonably ---just click on her blog link below-

I have long wanted to make a flower, using the tecknic of burning a thin material over a candle.

And when I two dayes ago saw this wonderfull blog of Linda`s ( go to older pages , to find the beautifull photoes showing how to do)--- with the most beautifull flowers made like that, I had to try the same. And this is how it came out,--it is burned a lot, to show a ragged

and used ,shappy style, ---I turned it into a hair buckle for myself, and Love it.

IT`s soon to be easter, and I wish all of you some wonderfull easter hollydayes,

I`m seeing my mother here for a cosy dinner, thursday, and the we are invited to two sweet girlfriends of mine ,to have dinner ,too, --so the dayes here will be spend in lovely compagny.

I hope you can relax and enjoy, and be thankfull for being here.

Love and hugs, Dorthe

I COULDN`T BELIEVE MY EYES

After walking with Mathilde yesterday,by the beach, coming inside my kitchen, there on

the table, was a packet. I had not ordered anything,so I flew over to se the sender, -and my eyes opened wide up, as I read, the name JULIA .Julia from Vintage With Laces, has become a dear friend, but never in my life I would have thought she would -just like that- send such a precius

gift to me...

I opened up and here was the most beautifully packed things inside

This wonderfull way of making an envelope was on top of the parcel


and underneath the most beautifull egg, I so love this polka dottet paper,
and see the beautifull flower the sweetie made on top.


opening it up ,peekt out a nother little egg,
isn`t it beautifull,all nested up in old paper cuttings

Next to ahhh and ohhh over, was the handmade yarnholder,filled with

the most thin and wonderfull old laces,

Julia I so love this fragile old laces--

and on top of that a clothes-peg also filled with wonderfull laces.

I am sure you want to know what was inside the paper envelope!!!!!!!

a collection of wonderfull laces,-see the sweet little hearts,and the so special

I think ,chrochted flowers-and Julia`s flowers are so beautifully made,

Here the 3 eggs ,and this sweet little bird, just look how all goes so elegant and wonderfull together, -I`m going to didplay it together,-maybe in an old silver tray,you will see.

And -yes I know it was lots of photoes, but I had to show all of my many treasures,from the ever so sweet, and loving Julia, -dearest friend, this is such a fantastic feeling ,to recieve a wonder of a packet ,without any other reason, than you Julia being a lovely person.

From my heart thanks, and love and blessings to you dear.

I know what to do,-just give me a little time Julia.

Also thanks to all my other friends for your alwayes sweet,and inspirering words to me,it means a lot, to open up my mail every morning ,and recieve words from each of you.

Today I trawel home with Mathilde, and will be back here again sunday.

Till then , love and hugs

My first piece of fabric paper

Hi all,--------- having 5 minutes here, and 5 minutes there, I tryed to do my first fabric paper,

I`m not sattisfied, because my paper napkin was too heavy I think, so I remouved a bit from the face (it is only the upper part of the collage ,that is fabric paper), but I love the texture this tecnic gives,--I have white threads under the napkin,as well as old book bits, don`t know if it shows on the photo....

The rest is made from old remnants of lace, paper, driftwood, rust and a stamp.

I will certainly work more with this, trying to be better.

Hope you all are doing great, and wishes you a wonderfull wednesday.

Hugs and love, Dorthe

A new paperclay doll, and no 2 OWOH gift.

My number 2 paperclay doll found this wonderfull old chair, well you can`t see much chair!!!

but she likes it.

She is proper dressed, and brings her bonnet

I glaced her this time, and think the result is a little bit too shiny,have to buy something
semi shine.
I also gave her real eyes,(not the black button eyes )Think she should be able
to see a little more into the wuewers eyes.

And my number 2 gift from OWOH arrived here last week.
it came from Coralie A Vintage Cottage Home

This magic book, full of wonderfull storyes.

Look at this wonderfull little storyes, I love particulary the ones
