Lapin de Pâques...en retard !

Déjà presque une semaine ! J'espère que tout le monde a passé de Joyeuse Pâques !
Nous oui :)
La semaine prochaine je ferai un petit post sur notre (excellente) journée à Cambridge ...mais avant, un petit lapin de Pâques, en retard ici mais qui avait été terminé à temps pour décorer pour l'occasion.

Une fois de plus une grille de Maja !


N'est elle pas trop mignonne ? :)
Super moitié me l'a terminée en petit ornement plat en feutrine. au final je pense qu'elle restera jusqu'à la fin du printemps avec nous...
Il va d'ailleurs falloir un peu penser à remplir l'étagère de saison pour l'été, mais je sèche un peu...

Quelques jours après mon anniversaire, un petit paquet emballé avec soins était arrivé d’Angleterre.
June m'a gâtée avec plein de petits cadeaux, merci encore June ;)


Peu de temps avant mon anniversaire aussi, Mii me faisait découvrir une jolie boutique sur le net,
Le Comptoir des Fées.
Plus qu'une boutique, une véritable caverne d'Ali Baba !!!
Quelle ne fut pas ma surprise de constater qu'en fait cette boutique n'est même pas à 20 kilomètres de la maison, et que le jour même de mon anniversaire il y avait une journée portes ouvertes !!!
Qu'est ce qu'on fait patron ? Ben on y va !! :D


Je suis revenue avec de jolies toiles de lin, des diagrammes et des boutons...et il a fallu que je me croque les doigts pour pas rapporter plus :)
Merci Super Moitié et Maman pour ces superbes cadeaux d'anniversaire ;)
Le petit bouton cerise est déjà utilisé...je vous montre sur quoi très bientôt
Bon weekend

I hope everybody had a great Easter... we had !!
I'll be back next week with pictures of our wonderful day in Cambridge, but first I have to show you some stitches and gifts I received for my birthday...
Did I already told you I have been spoilt rotten ? :D 
For Easter decorations, I made that cute bunny from Maja at SnowFlower Diaries.
I totally succumbed to this lovely design and Super Hubby finished it as a felt egg.
I'm late to show it here today but it was really ready before Easter ;)


Isn't it the cutest Easter ornament ? ;)
I love it. I think that finally it will stay on the seasonal shelf until Summer !
Summer...I have to think about pieces to decorate the shelf for Summer ! But for the moment I must admit I have no idea....

A few days after my birthday, gifts continue to arrive !! 
June sent me a very beautifully wrapped parcel full of wonderful goodies.
I absolutely love everything but my heart goes to the tape measure and the pen ;)
Did I tell you I collect beautiful pens ???
I love pens more than shoes or handbags ;)

 
Thank you so very much sweet June for your present. I know your house is like a beehive those days but you thought of me and it really touched my heart. Thank you.

Then, some times ago, Mii made us discovered on her blog a beautiful online shop, named 
Le Comptoir des Fées
I put a permanent link to that shop in my sidebar. It's a real Ali Baba's cave !!!
And what a good surprise to discover that the 'shop' was only at about 20 kilometres from home and that on the very day of my birthday there was an open doors day !!!
Wooooow ! As Super Mario would say 'let's goooo'  ;)
We stayed more than 2 hours there and believe me,  to make a choice has been very very difficult !
But I finally came back with some supplies offered by Hubby and Mum as birthday gifts.
Thank you so much :)

 
Beautiful pieces of linen, buttons that hubby will paint, and some big charts that will keep me busy for a while :D
We want to decorate our stairway with frames of different types and sizes...and those pieces will be the beginning.
A big project that I'm impatient to start...
I already used the cherry button to decorate something but I'll show you another time.
Have a great weekend

  20. Hello Valma,

    First of all, I did not know your birthday with time, I hope you have been a great day for you, I see that you were very spoiled, I'm glad, you deserve that and more!, I send a big hug and my best wishes.

    The ornament you made for Easter, I loved it!.

    The store you speak of, is amazing, I walked around it and ... do you know is they have delivers to Mexico?, I saw some beautiful fabrics that can not find insurance in Mexico.

    I am glad to know you're okay, if not an apology to visit both step but barely have time to pass you post something on my blog, You can imagine my schedule ... horrible!

    Take care and we are in contact.

      I don't know if she delivers to Mexico but I'm going there tomorrow (there's another open doors day :D I can't resist !!!) I'll ask her.
      If she doesn't and that you really want something from her shop we can arrange together ;)
