Sweet surprise




A few weeks ago I was at a PTA meeting at my son's school when one of the parents gave me a little box. 'I heard you like dollshouses', she said, 'so I have made you something'. Needless to say I was very surprised, even more so when I heard she also has a dollshouse (and her house is only a few hundred feet away from mine...)

When I opened the box I found a few dozen beautifully made chocolate bonbons. Aren't they lovely? And perfect for a chocolate lover like me.

  8. Wat mooi gemaakt die bonbons en wat een lief cadeau, leuk dat er een medehobbyist bij je in de buurt woont!
    Maar de schaal waar de bonbons in liggen is ook geweldig mooi, heb je die soms ook zelf gemaakt?

  11. Perfect display Josje! Delicious chocolates and I love the burr/burled walnut? table. It is a stunning piece. Your curtains and the celadon vase are very handsome too.

    Not to mention that gorgeous bowl you made a while ago with Jens Thorpe!

  18. is true, the desserts are very realistic and make me want to take a bite of taste ... but the cup is gorgeous, and that you made you!!
    But that luck to have a neighbor who shares your passion ... I envy you in a good way, so I'm far from you all illuminators :((

  20. Yes that was such a fun surprise! She joined the PTA over a year ago when she moved to our village, but we never talked about hobbies etc., just about things concerning the school.

    Jody, de schaal heb ik tijdens een workshop van Jens Torp gemaakt, mooi hè?

    Lize, the table is a chess table made by Chris Malcolmson. I bought it last year. Isn't it beautiful? I love the burr walnut with the marquetry inlay.

    Adrie, ja prachtig hè? Het is een schaaktafeltje gemaakt door Chris Malsomson. Ik zag het vorig jaar op de beurs en wist meteen dat ik die wilde hebben. Met dank aan jou en je klasgenoten, hahaha! Leuke foto trouwens op je profiel ;))))))
