Hello everyone and a big welcome to all my new followers. Today's  post is to say Thank You to you all. I was so moved and happy with all the beautiful comments my cottage received. If it wasn't for all of you with your wonderful tutorials ideas advise and encouragement  I would never in a million years have even tried doing much of these things. Also all the wonderful treasures I have been sent from swaps wins and just because they wanted too. I treasure all these gifts and it makes me very happy to know that I have beautiful pieces from so many places and so many wonderful people. Over the last few days I have received more wonderful treasures.
These from a wonderful friend who sent me these  because she knows how much I adore her flowers.

Her flowers are gorgeous you can almost smell them they look so real and perfect. The jug is also wonderful I love your gifts. Thank you Blanca  for these treasures and more important for your friendship. If you dont know her blog go and be amazed.http://quepequenoeselmundo.blogspot.com/
The next treasures are from a swap I did with a lady from the forum " TUS Miniatures" Almudena 
( Almuhada ) These are the beauties that she sent me.
The lovely tablecloth  went perfect in my kitchen and if you look you can see it on the table :) 


Also these wonderful slippers and beautiful baby dress. The beautiful bag and a wonderful tree. bath lotion and a wonderful ball that is not a bead but feels like a real ball. Thank you very much Almudena I love these gifts.
Also on the forum I was very lucky to win the draw of  Carmen ( Pekevasion)  It took a long time 18 days for these gifts to arrive and we had both given them up for lost. Carmen very kindly offered to replace them but luckily they arrived late but safe. I have always admired her wonderful blog and the things she makes so I was very happy to win these treasures.

Her dishes are wonderful and the tin box really looks like tin. She also sent me a wonderful cake with a pretty flower some lovely flowers and a fantastic bucket and jug. Thank you Carmen I feel very lucky to have some treasures from you.
Then this morning another package arrived I was very surprised when I seen this one as I was not expecting it. It was from Karin  from http://craftlandminisundanderes.blogspot.com/ This wonderful friend sent me these  as a gift for Easter.
A beautiful card even the wrapping paper was cute. My daughter wanted to eat this wonderful cake lol.

Hello everyone on what was a beautiful spring day. I hope its was  just as nice where ever you are :)  Now I will show you the last room in my cottage its the kitchen. There is a porch on the front of the house that I want to do something with but because this house is not very strong I can not move it too much so I will do it when inside is finished. Again Most things have been made by me and again some of my many treasured gifts are here :) I have very little left to do here though I think I will change the chair cushions. I am hoping to get battery lights for this house but it will have to wait for a while.

 I made the TV can anyone guess from what lol.
Bridget is very pleased with her TV as it was a gift from the staff when she retired.

Bridget has been busy baking as her 2 nieces are coming for a visit.
The 2 striped canisters are beads with thumb tacks for lids. The bottle of milk is from a pen and so are the "glass" jars.

Her dog Tia that she adopted  from the rescue centre loves fetching her paper : )


The bird cage was a necklace. I made the shelves and sofa. I also made the sink .  The cooker and corner unit where brown that I painted a cream. The flooring is sticky paper. Most of my wallpapers are prints from the net. The TV is made from a mans blade holder if anyone didnt guess :-D I hope you like my kitchen and that you enjoyed my little tour. A BIG THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments on this cottage. I loved reading them all you have all been so kind. 
On my next post I will be showing some gifts that I have received. It will also be time for my giveaway news. So watch for my next post  :-D 
Thank you all for being here Have a wonderful week. Hugs to all my friends.
