Sabiha's great giveaway gift
About two months ago Sabiha was having a giveaway at her weblog Sabs Mini Interiors and I was one of her lucky winners! Last Thursday I found my gift in my mailbox. Oh how Sabiha spoilt me! Curious? Here's what was in the envelope:
The beautiful package was a joy to look at. It was accompanied by a sweet note from Sabiha. Inside the package I found two wrapped little boxes.
In the first box I found this wonderful wooden box filled with sealing wax and the tiniest pen nibs. There is also an ink pot and a lovely quill. But look closely at the lid of the box...do you see it? There's an inscription on it! It says: M. van Grootheest de Kleijne. Isn't that fantastic?!
Martha van Grootheest de Kleijne was the owner of Singel 224 in the 18th century. You can read Martha's story here. Isn't this a wonderfully personal gift? .
In the second box I found wonderful kitchen utensils. When Sabiha asked me what I wanted her to make for me, I told her I really liked the cutting boards she made a while ago. And look what she sent me! I just love the big board for cleaning fish.
The utensils include spatula's, milk frothers and a very sharp knife. It even has a sharpened edge! The cutting boards have signs of wear from years of use. I love them!
Thank you Sabiha for your lovely gifts!
Nou het was het wachten waard he? Wat is het allemaal mooi geworden en past weer precies in het plaatje.

Literally everything is great! So unique and personal pieces are of great value and reveal a considerable sensitivity. I am very impressed. I think if there were more blogs of minis in the world, people would not want to hate and make war.
