WHAT SWEET LOVELYES CAN THE POST BRING--AND MY FIRST MAKE-DO

 I have met the sweetes friend-Paula, in the community of blogs- and we have become close friends.
She is the most dear woman, and the sweetest soul.
Last week- I recieved a gorgeus packet from her -just looks at this so darling doll, that Paula made for me.

She is so cute. I`m alwayes so happy when recieving a doll from someone, because it is not often,I guess because I sew dolls myself.So this little dear was welcomed with open arms.


But dear Paula, also made me other beautiful things-look at all those packages.
See the lovely strawberry, it is the sweetest ever, and the photo does not do it justice.
I will show you in another post, and the cute pink flowers.

This is the sweetest tag, I love the egg spring theam


A wonderful hanging  "bag" to hide beautiful stuff inside-see the fantastic old lace,and beautiful rosy fabric.


And a most sweet banner made from old doilies , such a sweet idea.

And look at this lovely bird- a mamma bird to a smaller one, Paula giftet me with ,in winter.
My sweet doll also had her own pair of wings ,so cute-and se the beautiful old lace,from a dress top-


I was so lucky,that I last year had bought this sweet little bed from my friend Solvejg, and mini Paula, fits beautifully inside ,don`t you think? Now she can rest there -she also have her own chair- as you will see later:)
I so love everything dearest Paula, thankyou from my heart, sweet friend, for all those heart and handmade beautiful art pieces, you gave me, and thankyou mostly for your beautiful friendship.
***********************

And the last photo to show you my first Make-Do
I have joined . Roses on my Table, and the wonderful artist Christina `s workshops.
And this is my Make-Do-it have to go to my real shop to be sold, but for now I enjoy it a bit here :)




We have a lovely but a bit cold saturday here. I hope it will warm up a bit .
Thankyou to all my new followers, you alwayes bring smiles to my face-
and I wish everyone- a lovely week-end- wherever you are, all.
Love and hugs,Dorthe

What a beautiful doll your friend has sent you, Dorthe! She has the sweetest face. You're right, since you're a dollmaker, it must be so wonderful to receive a doll someone else made.

What wonderful gifts Paula has sent you, Dorthe! I do love the momma and baby birds, but the dolly is beautiful! It reminds me of the dollies I made for my children and nephew to match the night shirts I sewed them. Your dolly is dainty, and so well dressed! How perfect that she fits into the bed!
I hope your Sunday is sunny and warm. Hugs

Hi Dorthe!!
What a lovely blog you have here. I saw you visit another blog ( Quill Cottage)and I got curious of your blog since I figured out that you came from Denmark.
I am a Swedish girl living at the eastcoast of Skåne, near Bornholm actually :)
I love mixed-media as well and I make jewellery and sell Troldekugler as a living.

Thanks a lot for a beautiful and inspiring blog!
