Tasty Treats!
I bet you thought this post was going to be about food . . . well in a way it is, but not the kind you eat.
THINK PINK IT'S FRIDAY!
I'm beginning to enjoy Fridays for several reasons, but mostly because it's the end of the working week for most people and I get to share another photo with you. This time it's Macaron, my Fairyland PukiFee Coni who arrived August 2014.
Macaron is a little French elf from Paris, adores strawberries, the colour pink, especially pink ponies and it should come as no surprise . . . she has quite an eye for pink feminine style . . . hence the pink hair and clothes.
She lives with two cousins, in a small biscuit barrel deep in the Elvin Forest. Sometimes I wonder how they manage to get on so well together, they all have quite different personalities.
Cookie comes from Odense on the lovely island of Fuen in Denmark and was named after the Royal Dansk creamy butter cookies. She has become very fond of cooking cookies herself and eats most of them while they are still warm from the oven . . . you could say she is a little cookie monster!
Biscotti on the other hand, originally came from the Italian city Prato. Now she is the more serious one who loves books, art and clothes. She prefers to wear arty style clothes, as long as they are green and she has the most overwhelming weakness for Pistachio nuts.
Anyone else have dollies dressed in pink?

Project: Furniture 1:6 Scale (Part 2)
The three furniture packs which I ordered arrived very quickly, actually in three days by courier, and once again they were very well packed (twice in bubble wrap) so there was no chance of breakage.
I cannot tell you how happy I am to be dealing with an Australian company that provides such good service. The three kits only came to AU$63.80 including the shipping cost . . . I am very impressed. :)
After gluing them together, I gave them their first two coats of white paint. One tiny drawer was missing a side piece, so I emailed them. They were so apologetic and posted one to me the same day.
You can see the sofa from Part 1 in the background, still waiting for cushions. Next, I painted them all grey and ended up giving the couch another coat of grey, as the second batch of paint I mixed was slightly different to the first.
The mirrors were glued in once the painting is complete. I decided against using the provided knobs for the drawers and used pretty grey pearl beads.
Once I'd done the final sanding to give it the shabby chic look, and a good polish with a brown paper bag, I added the cushions (just noticed that one is back to front, I didn't realise the seam was showing).
The photos are not the best, I took them in a hurry. You will see them again in their proper setting later on, when hopefully I have more time.
Just so you can see the size, here's a quick snap of my new Poppy Parker.
Hope you are all having a productive week!
