I have had this idea of making this little cottage since I first saw it in the pages of Victoria Magazine in August 1998. This is L'assiette de Marie a restaurant in St. Remy, France in the Provence area.
This one is the real one. The first picture is my version.
I made the sunflowers from cardstock paper and I bought artificial lavender. I tried to put real lavender, but the color was not strong enough. I think the artificial one will be stronger in any case.
I made this bicycle myself with different width wire and covered with vines.
Here's the real interior.
And mine.
real.
mine.
I made the chairs using Creer et Realiser's tutorial. But instead of using the larger toothpicks(I couldn't find them anywhere) I used popsicle sticks I cut to size with an Exacto knife.
Thanks for coming over!

It is outstanding Caroline! Every little detail is so perfect- once again I am wishing I could shrink down and spend some time in your dollhouse. Wonderful!!!!♥
ReplyDeleteEvery time you finish a project, I think that you've outdone yourself. And then, you come out with another wonder. You never cease to amaze with your unique talent. We are all the beneficiaries because of all the delightful eye candy we get out of feasting on your marvelous work. I can't thank you enough for this treat. Caroline, I prefer to look at your house rather than the real one even though it was your inspiration. Yours transports me through that door of wonder, away from reality!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your encouraging messages. I cherish them all!
ReplyDeleteLucille- You always leave me such gorgeous words!
I can't tell you all how I appreciate the time you take to let me know how you feel.
Thank you so much!
Big hugs all around!!!

I just read your other comments... I love two of the ladies who said: you outdo yourself on every new project...it's so TRUE! And I REALLY love the person (Victoria) who said she is taking her "shrinking potion" to be able to come into your shop! LOL! What a wonderful way to put it!! I agree!!!!! :)
