Busy, busy, busy!!! :)

It's been crazy busy here in the Whimsy workshop and

I've been working the poor lil elves' fingers to the bone!  ;)

It's great being busy with orders, etc., but I'm also

looking forward to finding some time to work on some of

my own projects soon.  It's a juggling act, isn't it?!?  :)

I've added a new style of purse to my Etsy shop

I really love navy blue and silver together, don't you?

Pink and black are always the perfect pair!

And who can resist the elegant combination of black and gold??

I also finished another set of animal print luggage for

a shop in Pennslyvania.  I really like how it turned out!

Animal print is so popular right now!

And now I'm back to work on another custom luggage order, 

but I leave you with a new teamMIDS 

Mini of the Week to feast your eyes on...

How cute are these?!?  I love 'em!  :)

Second Chance Blog Giveaway, Part 1

The LIST

It's Almost Time...

Second Chance Blog Giveaway

The clock is ticking ... in one hour and ten minutes (from this moment

as I write this), it's draw time!  Who will be the lucky winner

this time?!?  Oh!  the suspense!!!   :D

In an hour and now nine minutes, I will close the entries to all

Followers at that time.  There are curently 114, only 113 of which are 

entered as one is apparently a Private Follower and I

can't see who that is, therefore, there is no way to enter

them into the drawing.  If more Followers join between

now and noon, I'll add them to the entry list.  At noon, I'll use

a random number generator to pick a number.

The Follower whose number (on the drawing list) 

corresponds with the randomly selected winning

number, wins!  How exciting!!

Show and Tell

In the meantime, I promised some "show and tell"

from the Las Vegas miniature show I attended, and here

is the first pic.  A perfect and exquisitely beautiful

wicker furniture set.  Isn't it divine??

Made by Wilhelmina of Wilhelmina Miniatures, it is

my prize purchase of the miniature show.  Before the show, I was

so hoping that there would be some wicker furniture there

as I've been really wanting some for a very long

time.  And, wouldn't you know it, Wilhelmina was

at the table directly behind us!  How awesome is that?!?

I was able to drool over her creations the entire show and

picked out the perfect set.  I love it and can't

wait to create the perfect patio space for it!

Really Big News in Miniature Plumbing

Also at the show was Houseworks, a trusted name in miniature

doors, windows, staircases, etc., for many years. 

They have recently introduced a modern bathroom set

which has been sorely needed in the miniature world for

a very long time!  The bathroom set is available at

miniatures.com and is very realistic looking, wouldn't you agree?

The set is reasonably priced, too!
