Merci Beaucoup Mon Ami!

Yesterday I received some wonderful mail from dear Sylvia. Before she went to Paris Sylvia told me she was going to send me some instructions to make a dollhouse oven. However, when the mail arrived there were no instructions but a card from Sylvia telling me she was going to buy me Lea Frisoni's book when she went to Paris!!! I had to read her card several times just to believe it! And here it is, in my home now, and I still cannot believe I have this beautiful book. Sylvia even met Lea Frisoni and had her write a message to me in the book!!!! I have never seen a more wonderful book about miniatures, I am going to have soooooo much fun making things! And in case you are wondering, the book is all in French and I only know un petit peu French but there are plenty of diagrams and pictures to follow (I'm not much good at reading instructions in English anyway - too impatient!).
Sylvia also sent me that gorgeous dutch tin sign up there - now I have a little piece of The Netherlands in my home!
And for Liberty - an Eiffel Tower key ring and a lovely bright t-shirt, she was one happy little girl!
DANK JE WEL Sylvia!
