Tuscan Book Room Mk II

Two posts in a week!!!!! Oh my and the sky didn't fall in. Bonus!! I liked my Tuscan inspired book room so much I made another one which was better and gave it away so I could keep my original one. I think that made sense. Anyway my Grandmother lives so very far away from me and my kidlets. I thought I would use the Tuscan Book Room as a showcase of all the mad mini-ing that I do. So she knows what I'm on about. It may seem wicked I know to give a woman of many, many mature years a gift whose items are so teeny she can't see them but that's what glasses and magnifying glasses are for. Electron microscope anyone?!!! Anyhoos it got put on the back burner what with Maison de Livre, New Zealand, kids and that life stuff. Today I finished it, yay!!! The crowd cheers!!! Any way here are some pics. The light is getting lousy for photos. Sun heading to the other side of the house like it does this time of year and the tree outside my window just keeps growing, as they do. Have a squizz, I got to put dinner on.








See you all and be safe!!

    It's adorable, so many lovely details for her to look at, with or without magnifying glass ;) I'm sure she'll absolutely treasure it, it really is a very special gift.

    It is gorgeous Carrie and a great way to show Gran what you do so well. A great idea that I might try as I just can't get started on my shop, it is a bit daunting. Perhaps a small roombox like this would be best to start with.

    Grancy will adore it! Any chance you could give it to her in person? Long long way between families these days, hard on everyone.
