I hope you are all enjoying a nice relaxing weekend... I know I am and did, so I thought I'd share a bit of mine. The picture above is of a new canister set I made, simple and vintage style and pretty for my dollhouse... My weekend started with a pre-holiday gathering of girlfriends Friday night. So as I waited for their arrival, I snapped a pic with my Iphone ( excuse the quality ) from the chair I sat in... It was a cozy , simple, nice time with friends... Then Saturday I worked on the dollhouse a bit. I took a handmade vintage lace hankie I had from my Mom and used the delicate flow and intricate lace work to add a soft flowing look to the bed... They hang from the ceiling to surround the bed magically and add a touch of romance.. Then I pottered around some more in the dollhouse and made a pot rack for my miniature copper pots...and made a little Bakery sign to add above the Aga stove... Then I made another sign for the other side of the Pantry area in the miniature kitchen... I adored the pattern and wanted to use it somewhere, so here it went :) It was a quiet Saturday and so nice to do things in a slow fashion, no rushing ... Then Sunday I woke up and read for a bit and watched the sun slowly warm up the house... I love getting up before every one else...it's another little piece of magic I cherish... Then when Melanie my sweet girl woke up, we watched Practical Magic together. How fitting....I love love love this movie....And you all know how incredible that kitchen is, no words are needed except... Gorgeous... Pure Magic... I get lost in all the scenes, and as much as the story is intriguing and fun , I watch the Set as much as the characters :) Well that was my quiet , nice weekend, filled with just enough magic :) ..... I have a feeling the week ahead will be just as magical, that's how life is feeling for now... I'm off to go put a Peach Pie in the oven.... My Mom is bringing over her homemade Lentil Soup at 4 and she and I and Melanie will eat it in front of maybe yet another good movie....ahhhh, the calm before the holidays should be relished.... :) I hope you all enjoyed a beautiful weekend, quiet or not :) Much Love, Cynthia
