COSY SEPTEMBER DAYES-AND MY NEW " FAMILY"

I finished two more pumpkins for me to enjoy in my new room,here they are on white painted old wooden candle-holders-in the window.Have you seen my new find, in front of the candle sticks? - the old french ink and pen holder- a beautiful old doll sits now in the ink-bottle hole

The old lovely  flowers used on the pumpkins, I once bought from Karla -Karla`s Cottage she has a wonderful Shop.

I found this two vintage candle glasses in a flea market ,this summer, and thought they could look sweet with a little lace and a "french" charm.The beautiful lace, was  once wrapped around an order I recieved from dear Rhonda, from http://alittlebitfrench.blogspot.com/


AND NOW TO SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT:
MY NEW FAMILY!!!

Some time ago I saw a wonderful sea horse, reading  Rosemary`s blog http://ozmaofodds.blogspot.com/  ---
and at once followed her link to Robin`s fantasi world-and Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/Baggaraggs
Here I fell in love with Ernestine-so totally different from what I create myself.
Isen`t she cute with her pumpkin?


This is Lydia, that I so wonderfully won -because I was number 200 buyer -JUUBIII

And this is Tombs- Robin tells me she might be a Zombie ,lol
-Now someone might think, this bunch are ugly-but I think they are the most adorable,and charming beings-
and love them very much.As a special touch they all comes with a written story-.

With my first order Robin so generously gifted me with one of her sweet birds

And this one -:BOO- I bought ,as I thought they could become friends .

Robin also made this wonderful ribbon and added it to my first buy!

Thankyou so much dear Robin, for adding this new joy to my life-
You are a wonderful artist-and thankyou for your special gifts.
**********************************
I hope you are all well, out there -all over----here it is dark-and the wind blows very loud-
Autumn has surely arrived to Denmark.
I wish you all the very best- and sends you hugs and love.
Dorthe

your pumpkins are so lovely dorthe and those candle glass jars...i love how you've adorned them!! so very French-inspired! your dolls are a sweet collection....they make a nice "family!" as for autumn...it has yet to arrive here. as a matter of fact, we are feeling the sun and heat of summer once again. it is what we call our "Indian Summer." But, by the week's end, we will be in the 60's during the day and in the 40's at night. i welcome it! Happy day to you dear dorthe! ;)

Hi sweetheart Dorthe,

I love seeing a new post from you! Your pumpkins are gorgeous!!! The look perfect on your old wooden candle holders! That is a fabulous idea! I love the old French ink stand and pen holder. The old doll is absolutely beautiful and looks perfect sitting there. She looks like a little queen on a throne! You add so many pretty details to your pumpkins!

I love the vintage candle glasses and how you added the "French" charm! They are just lovely sweetie!

I LOVE your new family! They are so adorable! Yes, Ernestine is very cute with her pumpkin! Lydia is darling and I am so happy you won her! Tombs is so sweet too! I agree with you dear heart, they are all adorable and charming! Thank you so much for sharing them! I love that they come with a written story too.

Good morning, my dear friend! Your pumpkins are so adorable. I love them very much. The candle glasses are beautiful and were a great find. What did your hubby say about three more women in the house, LOL? Your new family looks quite funny and the birdies are cute.

I hope the autumn winds are not too cold or fierce as you play with your new family and your cute birds. Enjoy, Dorthe, and hugs

suziqu's thread works said...

My dearest friend - I see you have made some brand new friends too. I can't stop looking at them! Am I a geek??? I have to say I am becoming very partial to Tombs and little Boo.
I wish Mathilda was there to play with them too!
Your pumpkins look so regal sitting so high on those beautiful candestick
holders and I can see so much rain ralling behind on the windows! Autumn has definitely arrived.
The vintage glasses look special with the burning candles!
Everything is looking just so homely and cosy in your room. Enjoy your day my special friend.
Big love and big hugs,
Suzy xoxoxox

Lynne Moncrieff said...

Dear Dorthe
First I want to thank you for always being such a lovely friend to my blog (and to me!) and your special comments which I never take for granted.
These might be ugly but they are adorable ugly. They look so soft and squishy.
The pumpkins are so beautifully displayed high on the candlesticks, what a beautiful home decor idea.
I love the vintage glasses with lace and charms.
Finally, congratulations on your win - what a beautiful surprise.
Wishes
Lynne

Dorthe...these treasures are delightful - especially your new family.

Will drop you a line when I get a bit more time, once she goes home (sadly). Have a wonderful day - Tanya

Dear Dorthe, your pumpkins look beautiful in the candlesticks! Also that little French Doll is a lovely find.

I totally understand your love to those unigue ragdolls - they are totally different and adorable of their own way. Ernestine is my favorite, little cutie :-))

Have a great weekend, dear friend and thanks for stopping by my blog

Vicki Boster said...

Sweet Dorthe- so many things I want to say here! I adore the pumpkins you created and the way you have them displayed. They look totally beautiful in your window- just perfect for fall decor.

Your new "family" is so so precious. I can see why you love them so- they are full of personality and fun. They are perfect to display in any season- they make me smile.

Yes- here too- Autumn is here too. Drastic changes in temperatures and crazy weather. We came home from our travels to find a tree down in our yard. I know what is just around the corner--- and I am so NOT ready!!

Love you-
Vicki

Createology said...

Your pumpkins are charming. As for your new family...they are enchanting and the little birds are just super sweet and make me smile. So thoughtful for Robin to include extra special gifts for you purchasing. That is truly customer service that is so lacking in the commercial world these days. Happy Autumn dear Dorthe...

Draffin Bears said...

I adore every thing you do Dorthe, and so thankful to be able to visit here.
Each time is like a vacation.

So cool Dorthe!!! Sorry been away for so long...trying times but thinking of all my blog land friends...

Lisa said...

Dorthe,
Love Robins creations! I'll bet you have a 'huge family' of dolls, angels & fairies! I imagine at night when you shut the lights off they all come to life & dance the night away!
I'm so loving the pumpkins! Did I tell you I have 50 stems collected last year from the pumpkin patch? True. I need to make some too. Love your white with the lace & flower embellishments.
Happy weekend my friend.
Lisa

I love your new family Dorthe - they are each of them adorable, and so full of character!
And your pumpkins are pretty wonderful too - you have a beautiful display going on and it is a lovely tribute to Fall. And we are having Fall here too; teh days are shorter and it is very cool at night - soon we will light the fireplaces and be cozy!

Emilie said...

Kære Dorthe.
Sikken en kær ny familie, du har fået dig! Man bliver helt glad af at se på dem. :-)
Ja, det er godt nok blevet efterår herhjemme. Lidt for meget efter min smag. Jeg kan leve med, at tempereturen bliver koldere, men alt det stormvejr og regnvejr, som vi har haft her ovre i den vestlige del af Danmark, det er simpelthen for meget for mig! Man får jo slet ikke mulighed for at nyde efterårets smukke farver.
Vi krydser fingre for flot vejr i den kommende uge.
Rigtig god søndag til dig fra mig!

God's Little People said...

Kære Dorthe
Tusind tak for dine søde ord, og det var dejligt at høre om efteråret ude foran dit vindue (jeg savner alle farverne!!). Dine græskar er skønne og så er jeg vild med dine Etsy køb - det er simpelthen så inspirerende hvad man kan finde dér. Og mange tak for besøget på min anden blog, ja du kan tro at det er livsbekræftende at opleve før og efter. Nogle af dem hænger jo (i bogstaveligste forstand) i en tynd tråd når jeg finder dem, og selvom det nogle gange kræver mange ugers koncentreret arbejde, så er det det hele værd.
Tak fordi du hoppede forbi Dorthe, og ha' en rigtig skøn uge forude.
Solskin og knus fra Joan

Becca said...

Hi Dorthe, love the pumpkins and your sweet little art dolls. Thank you for always stopping over and leaving sweet comments on my blog.

Evi said...

Dorthe, I love your pretty pumpkins.
I think they look cool on the candle sticks. You know, not every doll has to be exact and pretty. These three have quite some personality...here in the USA, they call them prims, and I find them charming.
I love the spool birds too.
Still dealing with my very painful upper back, 6 weeks now.
Hope you are doing well and crafting.
Hugs, Evi
