I wish everyone could've won one, but that would mean

I'd be busy making laptop bags for the rest of my days.  ;)

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!

Viva Las Vegas!

Good morning, everyone, and WELCOME to all of my

new Followers!  111 now and you're all entered in my

Second Chance Blog Giveaway.  Whoohoo!!!

I'm still behind on responding to individual comments,

please bear with me while I try to catch up.  

I have been sooo

busy -- I just returned from Las Vegas, Nevada, where

I attended a dollhouse miniature trade show and, as a 

result, my purses, laptop bags, and luggage sets

will now be available in select dollhouse shops

across the country.  WOW!  How cool is that?!?

The luggage sets sold out very quickly and I

will be very busy for the next couple of weeks filling

orders from the show.  

In the meantime, you can feast your eyes on the
new Mini of the Week on the teamMIDS Blog. :)

******************

I must get busy on orders now but

I'll return soon to post pics of the beautiful, exquisite,

handmade miniatures I purchased from other artisans

at the show.  They're gonna knock your socks off!  ;)

Welcome!

Thank you for everyone's kind words about 

my laptop bags!  I'm behind in responding to individual

comments -- please bear with me and I'll  try to 

catch up soon, but I do want to welcome all of my

new Followers!  Up to 75 now!  Whoohoo!

I never thought about blogging as being a stepping 

stone to learning another language, but I'm

learning a bit of Spanish and maybe even some Italian

too as a result of the many Comments.  How cool is that?!?  :)

And now, rush over to the teamMIDS Blog and check out

the new Mini of the Week! 

Blog Giveaway Update

As you know, Cindy of Snowfern won my blog giveaway.

Preferring a laptop bag in black, I made one especially for her

and sent it last month.  She received it this week

and wrote a wonderful blog post

about it complete with her Yotsuba modelling 

the bag.  Too cute! 

I think she likes it.  What do you think?  ;)

Soooo, if you're following along you know that I now

still have the original leopard print laptop bag...

... whatever should I do with it??  What's that you say? 

A second chance drawing?!?  I think that's a splendid

idea!  A second chance drawing it is ...  set for

February 1, 2012.  On or about noon February 1, 2012

a winner will be drawn at random.

Wheeeeeeeeee!  A second chance!  Good luck.  :)

It's Monday... ;)

Ahhh, the new year is here.  I love a shiny new year, don't you?  ;)

It's going to be a busy year for me.  I will be a vendor at two miniatures

shows and preparing for the first one is keeping me very busy right now!

I'd like to welcome all of my new followers and thank you all

for following my blog!  I need to get back to the Friday Finds posts.

They're fun to do and I hope you all enjoy them, too!

Oh, and of course there's a new Mini of the Week 

on the teamMIDS Blog.  Check it out here.  :)
