A most generous gift has mini Apol, mini Pierre, and their mini sheep now living in a tower. Mini Pierre was at first hesitant to call the place home, because it certainly wasn't his name embroidered on the door.
However the fine construction won him over, and mini Apol fell in love with the place as soon as she saw the mini apples growing all over.
With much excitement they ran to the top, to look down and exclaim, "Oh, how high!" (Almost everything has this effect on the couple, since they are only about an inch tall.)
They didn't have time to enjoy the view, as there was knocking on the door. Back on terra firma, they discovered their neighbors all lined up, eager for a tower tour.

How cute is my gift from
Intres!
The
European Street Team held a Secret Santa event for the holidays, where we each got to give a gift to a member and receive one from another, all done in much secrecy, according to the clever organization of
Wonder Mitsy.
I was Secret Santa to Gretchen of
Chichiboulie. A day after my gift to her arrived, I got mine from Intres. We have never crossed paths on Etsy, except for the times I'd go to her shop to admire her meticulous felt work, so I was floored that she went through a fantastic amount of effort to make my gift!
It's a felt tower with my name embroidered on it, and with little apples on pins sprouting all over. She also sent me a note that I found very sweet. I am so enamored of my little tower. Thank you so much,
Intres!
Eat, drink, be merry, and don't forget to give lots of hugs!
If I had to describe my mood these days, it would be dreamy and creative (at least, I would like to think so). Knowing that, you'll see why for this weekend's Shopping List Saturday, I chose these nine wonderful objects:
And working with vintage stamps, Indian printing blocks, and even fabric pens these last few days, I have been making many of these. Lesson no. 5: Learn.

And now it can be told: The reason my Shopping List Saturday was so brief was because I was also at the same time looking for 21 beautiful items for Etsy's blog The Storque. They had asked me to put together Shop Local France, and I had fun not just looking through all the shops based here, but also getting to know the faces behind the shop names. What are you still doing here? Go look! :)
I've heard it said many times that blogging gives you the urge to do the strangest things. For example, take a photo of your shoes while you're out for a little walk in the old city.
This is going to be short and sweet, but a visual treat nonetheless! Today my Shopping List is all about cuteness. (Just a quick look at my shop and you'll know that I have a passion for it :D). These are the four items that made me go "Awwwwww, that's sweet!" over the past six days:
My embroidered drawings are now available in my book shop.
