~ It's Magical ~

I love when people say they wish they could shrink into my rooms, there is no higher compliment for me, because I know exactly how they feel... That's why miniatures are so magical to me! Grab some tea and come on a little walk through my very small spaces with me...I've edited the photos a bit to give everything a dreamy feel :) But before we go, you'll need to make a wish , so here's some fairy dust just for you... Now make your wish and imagine you're here, and off we go .....

"Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed." ~ Joesph Addison ~





Into the Gourmet Kitchen to see what's cooking... Fresh buttermilk biscuits, vanilla cake, and sweet pink cookies...



The scent of vanilla fills the room...




Its a beautiful day to bake...we have new handmade coffee mugs on the mantel, a new print above the fireplace and plenty of food baking in the oven!



There's delicious homemade bread rising on the stove...



A comfy chair for you to sit....



And a glass of ice cold milk in a pink polka dot glass :)



Always lots of cookbooks to read too :)



A sweet vintage stove and oven for Summer Rose...



A girl can never have too many ovens :)



I think it looks right at home in Summer Rose...and so does blueberry pie on a warm day...



There's always fresh fruit to savior and cook with ...



To me, a kitchen is a magical place...A Pinch of this…a dash of that , and a little fairy dust now and then too ...



Then up to the guest room to relax...



Enjoy a little spa therapy while you're here :)






Then it's outside to take in the breeze and the scent of Lilacs, my favorite...



Just relax with a good book in a fairy garden of colors...



Because before you know it, Easter and the busy Spring cleaning will be here...

In honor of Easter, I used some more of my fairy dust to create a magical little buffet :)






Beatrix Potter is such a sweet book series and so nostalgic for me, so I had to incorporate a little on this table too...



Well our step into a magical place has almost ended, but my wish is to pass on some magic to you too! So after you leave, do something magical for yourself today!



I'm passing on my fairy dust now....



It's very special, so do something wonderful with it.....

Just make a wish and blow....

I'm wishing you............ love , health and a happy week ahead..... always!

Thanks for coming by my sweet friends!

~ Miniature Gourmet Cottage Kitchen - Part 2 ~

Welcome to my miniature gourmet cottage kitchen... Since part 1 of this kitchen { The post before this } there's been some fun updates and design changes. I started this kitchen all because of the stove in the picture above, and it's finally here! So I've taken more photos and there are other updates to this large kitchen since last week too, so enjoy friends! I will list them as we go along :)

This is one of a few stoves I have started to collect, and I love it. I adore vintage kitchens as most of you know and I love when they hang kitchen linens by the stove to dry , so I had a little fun with a vintage styled clothes line :) You'll see I eventually bring it outside at the end of this post...





Isn't the stove so sweet?



I wanted to build a larger island and this weekend I was finally able to finish it because my lovely towel bars came in the mail! I adore these chrome babies! :)





It holds lots of accessories and baking items, which is exactly what I needed...







And just the right accessories always make a room feel like home...This sweet little enamel bucket from Hungarian Miniatures was just what it needed , perfect to bring in fresh flowers from the garden! :)



As much as I love the fireplace, I'm thinking of painting it a robins eggs blue, what do you think?



Here's a little better shot of the pot rack from last week, it was made out of a chippy old ladder and holds a lot of gourmet pots and bowls etc!



Fresh raspberries anyone? :)



And now for the Pantry.... I showed hints of this in the kitchen last week, but now it is almost filled up. I'm making a second one to go next to this, so it will become a double pantry soon! I love collecting and making items for it, so I need more room to store them :)












Well that's a little bit more of the gourmet kitchen, I hope you enjoyed the tiny tour :) There's still more to do etc, but it's fun to see it progress I hope! I've ordered another sink because I've used the one from Summer Rose in the photos and I want the exact same one in here, plus there's a few more items still to arrive before I can say finished , but so far I'm happy with it :)

Before I go, I left you with a small hint of a mini Spring day.... Yes, I do believe it's on it's way!! :) So grab a cup of tea and come sit out with me and enjoy...


I moved the kitchen clothes line outside where the fresh air can make the mini linens smell like Spring :)

I hope you all have a beautiful week ahead!

Love and Hugs,

Cynthia xo
