A couple of weeks ago Sylvia from lotjesdollshouse offered to send me some things to make hyacinths with. Sylvia is a genius when it comes to making flowers. I had thought the package should probably take about a week to get here, however when it hadn't arrived almost two weeks later both Sylvia and I were wondering what was going on! Well it finally arrived yesterday with a little sticker on it that said,'Passed Inspection - Biosecurity New Zealand'. Yep, it had sparked the interests of the customs officials at the Ministry of Agriculture! They would have thought they were on to something when they opened it and saw a little packet of white fluffy stuff! LOL!! Well, they must have been bitterly disappointed to have to send it all on to me. 
I haven't made the hyacinths yet. I may attempt them tomorrow but Sylvia also sent me some of her beautiful tulips. Today I quickly made this little window box for the summerhouse and 'planted' some of the tulips. It was just what the summerhouse needed. Oh and I made the tiny birdhouses on sticks to go in the windowbox too, just can't help myself when it comes to birdhouses it seems!
I'm sorry the pictures aren't that great, I blame the camera, not the person who's never read the manual!
Dank u Sylvia! De tulpen zijn mooi!

U sure work fast! Love the setting too, you must show us the whole diorama, Merce.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, they look perfect along side your little houses!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful Mercedes, will you show us all the setting? I guess there is much more to see. The tulips look so natural, I really like your window.
ReplyDeleteI love how you put the birdhouses on sticks to add to the window boxes! The whole scene looks really good!
ReplyDeleteMercedes the little summer house looks wonderful with the planter and tulips. Love those little bird houses.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely, I love the whole picture whit the tullips in it.
ReplyDeleteSylvia
Very pretty...enjoy your flower making.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get the background in the photo ?
Hehe. This isn't the first time I've heard about miniature supplies being questioned by authorities. It happened to The Ladybug on her way back to the US from Canada. The guards were suspicious of her dried plant material.
ReplyDeleteYour summerhouse is beautiful. I cannot wait to see it with the hyacinths when you finish them.
Wow! I woke up this morning and there were so many lovely comments, thankyou all, you really make my day!
ReplyDeleteThere is more of my little garden to see but it's not quite ready yet, all will be revealed shortly...I'm having a lot of fun creating it.
The background in the pic is just a book (about Provence). I got the idea to do that from San's blog.
Thank you!
Mercedes
hey, hi my dear friend , love your plantbox , awesome , am a bit jealous though of your tulips ,haha
ReplyDeleteMy friend sent me some perfume from the US to Canada, the border officials opened it... dumped it all out and sent the empty bottle along. So sad. So very sad.
ReplyDeleteA moment of silence.
