The idea of my petite maison being published into a miniature book was the idea of a fellow blogger....(one with a very good imagination...lol!) So this idea stayed in the back of my mind (along with lots and lots of other ideas...) until I came upon Maria's work!
Maris comes from Rome and she makes some really beautiful books, she has excellent scale (which is always very important to me) and works in great detail.....plus her little books are readable.......what joy!!!! I commissioned Maris to make me 2 books....she used photos and words from my blog, I left all the details to Maris and I was so very 'thrilled' with the result!
I thank Maria very very much.....she says 'each little book is made with love'.....I can see that this is true.
Maris has her own blog and Etsy shop "Il Cucchiaino Magico (The Magic Spoon) http://ilcucchiainomagico.blogspot.com/
p.s....my friend with the great imagination was rewarded with her very own miniature copy of "My Petite Maison".....

It's wonderful Linda, what a great idea to do it in mini, and how fantastic to have the chance to hand the task over to Maris. I do hope that it will become available to buy because I want one!!
That's fantastic!
Thank you Linda for your lovely words!! It was a pleasure to make this book for you and I'm very pleased that you like it with all my heart! :o)) It was a challenge for me and I'm really enjoyed this work for your Petite Maison... Page after page ;o)

The book is adorable and I echo Norma's quest to one day buy one! Thanks so much Linda for the info - am keeping my fingers crossed - and I loooved the Wedding dress plus the bridesmaid's dress - that back view!Terryx
My goodness!!! Who wouldn't want one!!! Linda, it's one of the best things I've seen. I can only imagine how beautiful it must all be in person. It reminds me of Lea Frisoni's beautifully photographed book. Your book is gorgeous!!! =)
I just had to come back and say that I would definitely put myself on the list to have one. =D *sigh* It's just so pretty!!!!
Linda, You are so clever!! I love how the book has turned out. Marie did a wonderful job on it! Anytime you decide to make copies to sell I will buy one too!!! I have Lea's mini version of hers and your Maison book would be a perfect companion piece.......three customers from you replies so far......LOL....pretty please. :)
FOr a total newcomer to the world of miniatures, this is all very astounding to me. Linda. The fact that it can be read bowls me over.
Thank you for commenting on my posts from Paris. My main blog will revert to being Sydney based for a while now. My Parisian posts will swap over completely to my 'A Pied' blog which is on my side-bar. Please continue if it pleases you. I would love your company.
An amazing little book and what an wonderful idea! Must take a peak in her etsy shop!
In this study met two extraordinary talents and I can only make my compliments: I'm actually excited ...
A big hug to both :-)

What a beautiful and excellent idea!
It is really magical to see photos of your house in such a small book. You must be overjoyed to have it.
I know Maria's blog and I am always amazed by her work.
I recently made a book for myself with the stories of Nina and Lucie. It was my mother's idea to keep the stories and photos. Of course, it has nothing to do with your book.
