Welcome! Delivery! And a very, very messy bedroom!

First of all, I would like to welcome three new followers.
First up: Marleen who is currently working on a beautiful country cottage! I can't wait to see this finished as it looks adorable!

Second: Marie who has the cutest, girliest dolls house you have ever seen! I love this blog when I'm looking for some pretty, chic and floral inspiration!

And last, but not least!: Alennka who is currently working on a beautiful garden. I've been looking through the photos of the garden and I love how well it's coming along. I particuarly like the little stream, and the colours she has used for the plants and trees; they give a nice, crisp, autumn feeling!

Now, for the delivery!

Today, having come home from town carrying some lovely crafting delights (more about that later!) I found a nice sized parcel waiting for me on the dining room table. Here is a photo of what it contained:

The furniture for the children's bedroom and a few accessories. Not all of the accessories sent to me are shown in this photo, as they are parts of other rooms and did not seem to fit temporarily in this room (such as a study desk set for example.)

So here I have the bunk bed set including the step ladders. A shelf unit which is currently housing some books and pen pot. A chest of drawers, a wardrobe and a bed side table.

The room itself is far from finished - I have yet to fit the carpet that I bought today and I need to make some bedding for the beds. Also, the books in the book shelf are not for this room so they need to be replaced with some books I plan to make this week. Other than that, it'll be odd bits to fill out the room and make it lived in!

Well isn't it nice to have a little surprise! :)

Now I warn you - tie a rope around your waist and attach the other end to something that won't budge as you get pulled into your computer screen! There has got to be a scary monster living amongst all of this!!:

 

Yes, the state of my room when I got back from shopping this morning! Oops. You can see my dolls house in the corner, where I have been working on it. Bits of wood laying around ready and waiting to be cut into size. The box by the wardrobe doors is my surprise parcel now filled with other boxes. And then of course my beautiful dog, Zena, inspecting the mess. Bless her.

Well as you can see this mess is just not liveable - and unfortunately I do have to get it all tidied up and in order before my mom sees - oops. So I'm going to leave you all to your blogging and dolls housing - and unfortunately for some your daily chores - while I go tidy this mess up and get on with some wood cutting.

Bye for now!

Look what the post man brought me this morning!!

We all get excited when the post man brings big parcles to our front door! Especially unexpected ones.

However, these parcels were expected and I am delighted with their contents.

Ernie the Milkman and Penny Black the post lady! Aren't they lovely?! I love Ernie's little pouch and Penny's uniform looks so vibrant and feels lovely. Their limbs bend which is great for when I place them outside of my Post Office and family house. They were both in the Dolls House Emporium's sale, and having wanted them for months now I snatched up the opportunity to save myself a few pound. Well worth it!

I also recieved all of the furniture in this bedroom! This wasn't from the Emporium, this was from My Tiny World. The quality is fabulous and all of the furniture matches, as with it being fairly cheap I was expecting one bed side cabinet to be a totally different shade to the other. Haha! You can just about see (if you squint) the two tiny ornaments on the dressing table. These are actually meant for the children's bedroom, but the furniture for that room hasn't arrived yet, so I've made use of them in here. They are two tiny rabbits! Also, on the bed is a dressing gown, this is meant for the bathroom - but that's the same story as the child's bedroom. And the teddy in the far left corner. He is so adorable! I have never felt something so soft and fluffy in my life, he really is a little treasure! (Also a bargain from the Emporium sales!) The bed covers were bought at our local fair in April and I'm pleased with how well they fit the bed!

I also managed to get myself these two beautiful vases and jar to go in my mini living room! They pick out the pink in the flowers on the wall paper which is mainly why I picked them. The lid on the jar doesn't seem to sit properly, so I've had to stick it down with some tacky wax. Although, I might find another use for the lid and use the jar as another vase. I also need to make myself some flowers for the vases!


And my last little item - the little gift the Emporium sent me! It's a Leo plate. The second of my Star Sign Plate collection so far! As you can see I already have the Aries one (which I was sent as a birthday gift) and the Grosvenor Hall plate which I recieved as a Christmas gift.


Well I must say I am delighted with my new furniture, dolls and miniature items! They are so cute and are really finishing off my dolls house quite nicely. I'll be on that bakery next month! *fingers crossed.*

I hope you've all had a wonderful day!!!
