KRISTY'S MINI MENAGERIE

Hello and welcome, anybody who may come across this little blog of mine! I've just started this blog, and plan on focusing on miniatures, animals, and miniature animals. However, I'm also hoping it can be a fun place to talk about just about anything. We'll see.........

My Prize Has Arrived!!! Wheeeeeeee!

The postman brought me a little package of happiness this morning! My prize I won from Asuka Sakumo's blog give-away arrived - sooner than I was expecting. Everything is just wonderful, better in real life! I was blown away by how tiny and detailed and realistic the little tarts are, and the cocoa looks so real, I was seriously tempted to take a sip. Now that little black tatting - I'm lost! I mean how do you do that??? It's such a delicate, intricate little piece. And Asuka made the little panda charm herself as well. Isn't it cute?!! I believe she has quite a variety available for sale now. OH, and to top it off, she included some extras......a whole ton of tiny printies of little candy boxes (I think it's candy but the writing is in another language, lol).
So Asuka aka: Stephanie - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!



Please ignore my disgusting fingers in these shots, but they are so tiny I had to really zoom in.
I love this one with the tiny kiwi.


And look at this one with the tiny slice of fruit and an itsy bitsy chocolate heart.


Hot, frothy, yummy.....I want to sip it!!

  2. WOW! What wonderful miniature gifts! I love those pastries! The hot choclate isn't tempting me in this super hot weather. It does look perfect though! I love the tatting. My mother could do that and it is just a mystery to me.

    Oh BTW... I am sending your finger prints off to the FBI to see if you're on their list. LOL ;-)

  6. O but you do have such nice clean nails. Not like mine and Asuka can attest to that :).

    I just love her frothy cocoa !!!!!!! Too darn cute! Cindy showed Dale and me how to tat and let me tell you, I think rocket science is easier.

  12. Aren't they the coolest?!! I'm very VERY happy! Stephanie does great work!
    LOL, Sans, my fingernails are usually dirty too!
    Ascension, it WAS hard for me to get those tiny pastries back in their little box. I have no fingernails, as you can see, which didn't help.
    Ira, YIPPEE!!! I'm glad they made it to you safe and sound! By the way, how's that hangover of yours doing? ;)
    Kim, so true. In fact, just before taking the pictures I had been working with clay and still have little smudges of it on my fingers I noticed, LOL. I think next time I have to take such a huge close up, I'll at least wash my hands and put lotion on them first.
    Thanks everyone for your congratulations and nice comments!

  15. So glad that you really like them! And so fast, I didn't expect them to reach to you that fast either. :)

    Don't worry about your fingernail. I usually take special care of mine when I want to do photoshot. In other words, usually they are such in a mess too! Xd

  16. Oops! Forgot to tell you... the mini doily is actually one of my finding of laces in some old market. I didn't tat them. ;)
