Shabby chic

Hello Bloggers!

Thank you for your encouraging words on my little mermaid! I still don´t know what to do with her, a beach scene would be so much fun to make but I guess it would be cool to have an underwater part with corals, too and a little beach hut and all of this without using a lot of space, haha. Brigitte from my online club already sent me some beautiful seeshells and corals which she had collected once in Thailand. So I guess I will collect beach things and ideas and maybe I will have the right idea...one day, lol!

In the meanwhile I am spending lots of time at pinterest and I got hooked by pictures from old windows displayed in gardens. Can´t have that in my real garden, but in mini :0)


It´s made of cardboard (the one kind you get for your glasses as coasters) and a plastic sheet from a film.
I also brushed some Tacky glue on it to further age it.

The little table is made from paper and wire and little mosaic tiles I have here for ages. 


The hydrangeas is another kit of Pascale Garniers faded hydrangeas. I love the faded colors!


Have a wonderful Sunday!
Hugs, Sandra

  3. The little scene is just fabulous. The proportions are excellent. One can hardly tell this is in miniature.
    Great work!

  11. Dir wird schon die richtige Szene für Deine Nixe einfallen, da sind wir ganz sicher. Deine kleine Gartenidylle ist jedenfalls fantastisch geworden - die Bilder sehen aus, als hättest Du 1:1-Objekte fotografiert, wirklich beeindruckend.

    Liebe Grüße
    Flutterby und Birgit - und natürlich auch Grüße an Gingi, soso, der macht jetzt in Fledermäusen... wir sind sehr gespannt, aber nicht überrascht, in unserem Hause ist man durch Igor ja an solche Flatteriche gewöhnt... ;O)

  14. Hi
    Oh, I love these lifestyle scenes. The window and the the little table with tiles makes it all so lifelike.
    Let your sleeping beauty sleep, suddenly, one day, you are no longer in doubt.

  16. Hallo Sandra, deine kleine Szene ist perfekt. Dass das Fenster nicht 1:1 ist, glaube ich nicht!!!! Wenn ich je ein Puppenhaus bauen sollte, wird die Bestellung der Fenster bei dir in Auftrag gegeben. Toll. Aber auch das kleine Tischchen und die Hydrangea (wie ist gleich der deutsche Name?) sind ganz ganz fantastisch.
    Lustig finde ich, dass der Google-Translator-Button nicht übersetzen in "Deutsch" anzeigt.
    Eine schöne Woche und danke für deinen lieben Kommentar auf meinem Blog

  17. I obviously go to the wrong sort of bar, I don't get beer mats like that! It's perfect, I love what you've done with it. And yes, a lovely kit from Pascale. Can't wait to see what you make for your beach scene, you have such brilliant ideas! Hugs!

  19. Your old window is fabulous!!! I love old windows as garden and room decor pieces too but I never thought of doing it in mini - you're a genius! ;) And the flowers are beautiful, such a pretty colour.

  20. Good morning Sandra,
    In regards to displaying your mermaid.. How about making her a large sea shell to display her in. Just a thought.
    Thank you so much for your visit and kind thoughts about Mother Goose.. Yes, I thought her beak looks a little long, but you know when I measured my reference material it is correct. I guess it is a visual thing.
    I hope you had time to visit the links.
    Have a great day
