I have long admired the work of miniature artist <a href="http://basketcase-miniatures.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Lidi Stroud</a> .....in particular her wonderful French picnic basket (with wine carrier attached). So you might imagine my delight (& immense joy!!!) when it arrived in the mail. As we <u>all</u> always say....a photo never does real justice to someone work, but I tried <u>very</u> hard to capture all of its detail.....it is REALLY wonderful!!!<br />
<br />
Many many thanks to you again Lidi x.<br />

Just this morning I added the final details to the exterior of this kit. I used little draw pulls and key plates I purchased on-line from Janny at <a href="http://artofmini.com/" target="_blank">Art of Mini</a>.....I am very pleased with the result. But what also pleased was ALL the Elisabeth Causeret (France) porcelain I found to fill it. I am a huge fan of Elisabeth's work (if you cannot tell..?) and when I get the chance to do so I add to my collection. If it will remain this way I do not know, time will tell when I have more work to my 'shop' completed.<br />

Can you imagine my delight when this order (finally) arrived. I say finally as it seemed to take for ever to get from the Netherlands to Tasmania!....BUT well worth the wait!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am having a love affair with 'wicker' at the moment and was thrilled with this little gem. I am amazed at the skill required to make something like this....it is so detailed, see the lovely detail at the base of the basket....and it sits perfectly.</div>

The artist responsible for this beautiful piece is <a href="http://willwersonminiaturen.com/" target="_blank">Will Werson</a>, I have previously purchased from her in the past and find her work amazing....Thank you so much Will, I know the postal service made us both very nervous, luckily it all ended well.</div>

I am back!....back from where you might ask?....well, from absolutely 'no-where'!! But I am back into my miniatures with a refreshed vigour and new interest. With no work what-so-ever done on 'sous le figuier' (my latest project) for several years....well, since 2014 to be exact it was time to start...again!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have bought many miniature treasures in that time, so my collection for this project kept growing....but sadly no actual work was happening. But over the past few weeks I have once again been working on the house/shop. I have done lots of work on the windows to finish those off prior to painting and I am presently painting shutters.....10 pairs in all!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have also been playing with ideas for (faux) ironwork for the front door....but something didn't sit right with me....the window above the door wasn't what I wanted anymore. So...with a bit more thought and a pair of corbels that have been floating about for about 15 years, I redesigned the area above the door. I enclosed the 'hole' and used a wonderful French finding and made a new pediment....sounds a bit easier than it actually was. I think (hope) it all comes together nicely once painted.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You will see that everything is simply sitting in place (and held with Blue-tac)......but to silence my dear friend I have done this 'post'. Catherine thought you would be interested in my progress...? (as small as it is!!) </div>

I know it has been a terribly long time since I last posted anything....I could try and find an excise, but sadly I haven't any...!<br />
<br />
At present I am loving the work of <a href="http://www.alisondaviesminiatures.co.uk/" target="_blank">Alison Davies</a>. I know most of you know Alison already, as I have seen her work on your blogs and I understand she has been most successful at recent miniature fairs...no question at understanding why! I bought this gorgeous little table from Ali a few months back, the detail is wonderful and the size and scale is perfect....I adore it!!! WhileI am waiting for my next order to arrive I thought I should do a blog post, as I fear that my dear friend in America will 'spontaneously combust' if I do not.<br />
<br />
While my blog has been quiet, so has my spending habits when it comes to miniatures....with not a lot that is new to show you. Although I have bought a few items for the florist...(that has now been stored away in a wardrobe)...I couldn't bare to look at it any longer in it unfinished (and neglected) state. I bought the little posters and chess board from '<a href="http://alavenderdilly.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Lavender Dilly</a>'....I always manage to lose myself for several hours in her Etsy shop.<br />
<br />
I am not totally certain of the eventual home for Alison's table....do I start changing a few items in the Petite Maison, or save it for the florist.....please don't answer that question. But, what I do know is that it was a 'must-have' and I so love seeing what Ali has already made and I dream of what she might design in the future.<br />
<br />

"My Old Lady".....this movie without a doubt is my all time favourite. I do hesitate to tell you just how many times I have watched it....(I just can't seem to get enough of it!)....I love everything about it!!! It does of course stars some of my favourite actors....being the magnificent Maggie Smith, the fabulous Kristin Scott Thomas and the adorable Kevin Kline.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you might guess (due partly to my love of it) it is set in Paris. Some of the locations used were instantly recognisable to me, but other not so much......?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you enjoy these photos I have selected from my 'location spotting'....I certainly had fun finding them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I must add....if you have not seen this movie....well, I think you really must!! Enjoy x</div>

The beautiful medieval town of Senlis is located just 10 kms east of Chantilly. Chantilly itself boasts the stunning 'Chateau du Chantilly'. Late last year we made a long awaited visit to Senlis....it is a gorgeous town to visit and boasts a market each Saturday....(it is in total only about 50 kms north of Paris)....with easy access via train from Gare du Nord to Chantilly, then a bus onto Senlis or of course you can drive yourself as we did.<br />
We found beautiful accommodation in a lovely B&B and we loved wondered the town and exploring wonderful little streets, shops etc. Although it was <u>very</u> cold it was an absolute delight and I long to return there again one day.<br />
I hope you enjoy the photos I post today....there might well be a Part 2 to this post as I found it very hard to minimise my choice of photos.

Is there anything more refreshing than 'white on white'? I confess that I love it in my real house.....so why not in my miniature house.<br />
<br />
While we were last in Paris I had the good fortune to go to "Paris Creations". While Paris Creations is more doll orientated than miniatures related, a good selection of miniaturists do attend. Before leaving home I had a list of pieces that I required from the very talented Elisabeth Causeret (France)......she makes the most exquisite porcelain items and while I already have a substantial collection of her work I did require more....well, who can resist?! The pieces I am collecting will sooner or later (more later than sooner I think...) find their way into my new project.....which I confess it is moving terribly slowly.....I don't believe I have touch it in more than 2 years, so I guess you cannot get much slower than that.<br />
<br />
I also wanted another folding bistro/cafe chair. Those of you with a good memory might remember that several years ago I bought a fabulous chair from Catherine Soubzmaigne (Paris).....well I contacted Catherine again and I was lucky enough to score the last one available (apparently she has trouble sourcing the fine metal)......as before I was thrilled with this chair, it is perfect in scale and folds up just like the real ones....ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!<br />
<br />
The pieces in the last photo are also by Elisabeth, I adored the designs and the soft muted colours......and I just had to have the blue piece, isn't it gorgeous?!<br />

I'm finding it hard to even think of a title for this post...'bad blogger'?...lazy blogger'?...busy blogger'?...boring blogger'?........or all of the above!! I find it difficult to think that my poor blog has sat idle for so long.....I am sorry. I certainly thank those who have emailed and asked me to return, please know my absence was unintentional. I have no excuse, only that I had nothing of any interest to share.......possibly still haven't as I have been terrible slow when it comes to miniatures, there always seems to be some thing else to do.....or am I simply using that as an easy excuse....???<br />
<br />
While there is nothing miniature related to report, there is certainly something 'Paris' related to tell you. Yes, we are off again!! This time next month we will be getting ready to head off for another six weeks in Paris. Yet again we have booked an apartment for our stay, while I did try to rebook the apartment we had last time it is now unavailable.....but this only forces us to choose another area to stay, this visit we will be in Saint Germain des Pres! Obviously I am very excited and look forward to seeing friends in Paris....cannot wait!!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the photos I have selected from previous trips to Paris, I cannot be certain that I have not already posted some of these photos before but I do hope you excuse me if I have.....enjoy and I hope to see you again very soon!Linda Carswellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844909621966184004.post-84490258636994505242015-03-31T06:12:00.001+11:002015-03-31T06:12:26.199+11:00a kitchen refresh....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I must confess that I am enjoying this little change about far more than I ever expected. It is lovely to pull everything out, change a few things about.....give it all a good dust and put it all back again.<br />
<br />
I love my little glass cloche with the butterfly.....I've had the cloche for ever (like wise for the butterfly) and when I went for a walk the other day I went hunting for a 'stick'.....then assembled it on my return. Please excuse the blob of 'blu-tack'.....this will be replaced soon, but I was so excited by the photo I wanted to post it asap!<br />
<br />

Lots of changes.....? You might be looking at the photos and wondering what on earth is she talking about! I did infact make changes....lots of them!!! I spent most of the weekend moving furniture about in my petite maison.....taking photos, standing back surveying the changes, making more changes.....until I realised I had changed everything back (almost) to where it was originally!!! I'm not saying I got it right the first time, I'm just saying with the furniture to hand I think I must have made the best choice way back then!!! So being terribly frustrated with not a lot of furniture changes, I decided to 'refresh' a lot of the accessories.....this was a lot of fun. The entrance hall is the only room that I can show you at the moment, but I have replaced the floor rug, some of the content on the side table, all of the content of the centre table, a new picture over the couch etc. They are sutler changes but I think it freshens it all up.<br />
Frustrations were (again) high today trying to get my lovely little Ray Storey lamp to work.....nothing wrong with the lamp, just the electrician (me)!!Linda Carswellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844909621966184004.post-20577807573683601022015-02-13T12:13:00.001+11:002017-08-09T09:41:28.844+10:00St. Valentine's Day....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

....as you may well expect......Paris is always in my thoughts. The gorgeous buildings, the stunning flowers, pretty parks....the sights, the sounds, even the smell of Paris are all so familiar to me. But while I have not plans of returning any time soon, I must content myself with what ever 'Paris-fix' I can get. Have you seen the movie below..."My Old Lady"? It is wonderful, I loved it and thought you might enjoy it also......please let me know what you think when you see it, I would love to know. Plus, I hope you like the photos I selected for you today...Enjoy! X<br />

....do you remember me?<br />
<br />
I have been away from my blog for far too long.....but while my blog has been silent I have been keeping an eye on what you have all been doing. There is some really wonderful and inspiring work happening out there.<br />
<br />
To keep my blog alive I have posted a selection of photos of my last trip to Paris....wonderful memories, I hope you enjoy them.<br />
<br />
To fill you in on some very happy news.....I have once again been made a grandmother. I am "Nunu" to a gorgeous little baby girl. My eldest daughter Kendall gave birth to 'Harriett Mae' just last week. She weighed in at a very healthy 9 lbs and she is exquisite!!!!!Linda Carswellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844909621966184004.post-91245337130832574502014-06-19T12:26:00.000+10:002014-06-19T12:26:15.465+10:00Treasure hunting....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought I would take the time to show you some little treasures that I have purchases lately. You will certainly recognise the beautiful work of <a href="http://tinyterminiatures.blogspot.com/">Teresa Martinez</a>. I saw these gorgeous little jars of vegetables on Teresa's blog and I simply could't resist.....they so remind me of what I have seen in France.<br />

and the wooden butter press (with moveable handle) is by David Provan (also from England). Sophia travels the world to add such items to her shop, so that people such as us...(who cannot always make it to Kensington etc)....can also buy these fabulous pieces.....Thank you Sophia!<br />

Last, but most certainly not least is a "<a href="http://stokesayware.com/">Stokesay Ware Tea Set</a>" that I sent for earlier this year. I have loved this design for such a long time. I think my little cake "Le Valentin" from "<a href="http://parisminiatures.blogspot.com/">Paris Miniatures</a>" compliments the set to perfection.<br />

While anything (and everything) 'miniature' related moves at a snails pace here.....I do try and find time for the occasional (on-line) purchase. This Etsy buy is from "<a href="http://www.etsy.com/au/shop/Mundomini">MundoMini</a>" (a Spanish site).......I adored her 'Vintage look trunk'. Nyork has covered the trunk in a linen (type) fabric and has aged it to perfection, as it is non-opening I think it will be used more as a coffee style table in one of my upstairs room at Sous le Figuier.....but only time will tell.<br />
For the purpose of the photo I decorated the trunk with lovely pottery pieces by Elisabeth Causeret and pretty daisies which are a Pascale Garnier kit.....(still without their leaves!).<br />
Hope you are doing better than me at finding time for your miniatures!!!!Linda Carswellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844909621966184004.post-55850654211348217892014-04-08T18:04:00.000+10:002017-08-09T10:02:43.390+10:00Le Jardins de Bagatelle....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Many years ago when I attended my very first French lesson, we were asked (a very silly question).... why do we want to visit France!! My answer was that I wanted to see the gorgeous rose gardens at "Le Jardins de Bagatelle"......my (Australian) French teacher told me that I must be mistaken as <u>"he"</u> had not heard of such a place.....mistaken <u>"I was not"!</u>!!!<br />
I have been to this amazing 'parc' on the out skirts of Paris. I have seen the roses gardens at their very best (and depending on the time of year I vistited....not their very best). When there are no roses there is always something else to admire, the gorgeous espaliered fruit trees, the peonies, the Autumn colour, etc.......and this stunning little building, "Pavillon Louis XV at the Allee de Longchamp entrance.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoy showing them to you.<br />
<br />
The 'parc' is on the outskirts of Paris.....and it could be said that it is a little difficult to find if relying on public transport, but as I have said before......if time allows it is well worth a visit....Enjoy Lx.Linda Carswellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844909621966184004.post-2590150087816355602014-03-29T14:35:00.000+11:002017-08-09T09:59:19.016+10:00Take me to Paris....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

**just a quick post today...ill health has kept me from doing what I love**</div>
<br />
We spent a day at Fontainbleau....and of course we explored Chateau de Fontainbleau. Fontainbleau is a short train trip (less than an hour if memory serves me correctly) from Paris, departing from Gare de Lyon.<br />
We arrived to a very chilly (frosty) morning in Fontainbleau, but with blue skies....so exploring was invigorating. We have been here once before (by chance) and we always promised ourselves that one day we would return. Chateau de Fontainbleau is set in 130 acres of parklands and gardens....simply beautiful!!!<br />
If you get to Paris (and have a day spare) treat yourself to a day here....it is well worth it!! **I loved the ghosty figures on the lawn...made entirely from chicken wire**Linda Carswellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-844909621966184004.post-74250378720042907612014-03-14T14:03:00.001+11:002017-08-09T10:07:55.562+10:00detail, detail, detail....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It appears that I didn't give you 'enough' in my last post? I hope this post shows you more detail and answers some of your questions......not all questions can be answered at this point as I do not know all of the answers.....colour etc., etc...<br />
All of "sous le figuier" is self made......at this stage I have only purchased the windows and the stairs, but I have made exterior changes to the larger windows. The shop front, the body of the house, all the cladding, doors, shutters and all external details are 'scratch' made....(not sure if I like the term 'scratch made'....but that seems to be the term that is used by many....?).....but anyway, made by me!!!<br />
Sadly I do not have any wonderful electric tools etc., that can cut multipal pieces of wood to the same length....instead I sit here and work away (slowly) with my (trusty) "Easy Cutter". It is the same cutter that I used to make the 'petite maison'....I did buy what was supposed to be a 'new & improved' "Easy Cutter" but I quickly returned to my old one.<br />
This house is as deep as the 'petite mason' but not as wide or as high. I wanted the same depth so that I can have a rear room etc (dimension), but I didn't want the ceilings to be as high, so the over-all height is (obviously) lower. I am very happy with the over-all proportions...it is important to me to get this correct!!<br />
I love working with 'strip-wood'.....I sit for hours with a bundle of different shapes and sizes to make details such as the 'lip' around the top of the house (where the roof meets the house) and of course the shop front.....I can't wait to get started on the interior, to make wall panelling, floor tiles etc, etc.....if it can be made out of wood, then that is what I choose!<br />
There were/are so many wonderful building in Paris that gave me inspiration for this house and of course the 'petite maison'....but unlike the 'petite maison' this time I do not want all the fancy detailing and corbels etc.....I choose a 'plainer' (less elegant?) house.<br />
Okay....there you have it.....enjoy!!!

I have made (some) progress...? I have been making shutters.....10 pair in total. I have not finished them as yet, as I have run-out of 'detailing' and must wait for a 'wood' order to arrive. But I couldn't resist putting the shutters in place to see what it (might) look like when finished. Mmmm.....so far so good????<br />
The exterior is still just the 'raw' craft-wood (MDF). I still have to design and make a chimney, make roof tiles, and sand many (many) little (wooden) cobble stones for the front foot-path. I have a few ideas as to what colours I might paint the exterior....but at present I continue to concentrate on finishing all the work (detailing) before I worry about that too much....but my fingers are itching to get involved with the interior.......!!!<br />
I hope you enjoy seeing what progress I have made so far, it might be more frustrating for you watching the slow progress of this project than it it for me.....because the days I am not working on my house I am playing with little Hudson who is now 9 months old and a total delight!!!Linda Carswellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14164118723376418340noreply@blogger.com14
