And yes - the peonies! - even though I really am not a fan of pink, there is just something about their glorious profuseness & exuberance that I absolutely love! And they are perfect in this shade...the deeper, sort of burgundy versions are lovely - and more "my" colors - but there is nothing like a pale pink peony!<br />Thanks for stopping by...<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-527569558213917422015-11-26T11:11:26.181+01:002015-11-26T11:11:26.181+01:00just love the variety of pinks, and textures and s...just love the variety of pinks, and textures and subjects - but the peonies.

I must admit that I am quite besotted by that little tea set as well - and it's surprisingly sturdy too (more so than my life-sized china tea set)! Nice that you can recall the memories of yours as a girl - no matter how quickly those darned years do persist in flying past!<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-52810427187375155482015-11-23T00:37:04.957+01:002015-11-23T00:37:04.957+01:00Vera ~ Thanks so much for the wishes for Ella - sh...Vera ~ Thanks so much for the wishes for Ella - she was very excited to become an official "adult" at last, and it's always so much fun to prepare little birthday surprises for her. No matter what age, the cake will always be the highlight for her, I think - this year was a chocolate-espresso cake with buttercream frosting and I made some copper wire song lyrics/notes + copper stars & a beaded "18" to decorate it.<br />And yes, you remember very well the dollhouses/furniture my mother used to make! With the intricate pieces she made she taught me that anything is possible - I still remember the tiny, perfect violin she carved/pieced together, and a fireplace she sculpted from soapstone and then faced with tiny bricks that she handmade/fired & then finished it all off with little wooden doors on the ovens (it was one of those old-fashioned, traditional - enormous - kitchen fireplaces). This one of Ella's is very different - though perhaps more like the quite modern house we lived in while in Brazil (which I recall my mother never really liked!).<br />Hope you are all well!<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-91858566373636673852015-11-23T00:25:26.912+01:002015-11-23T00:25:26.912+01:00Beautifully put, Elfi!

Lots of best wishes to her!<br /><br />How was the cake this year, did you make a previous design just like the last one? :) :) :) http://www.arzigogolare.blogspot.com.br/2014/11/chocolate-brown.html <br /><br />The dollhouse is quite 'modern', I remember when you lived here in Brazil, your mother used to make fantastic perfect dollhouses, with more than one floor, filled with antique miniature furniture, curtains, rugs, pictures and paintings hanging on the walls, and all kind of details. <br /><br />Is my brain still working after so many years? Are my memories correct? Or was at another house where I used to baby-sit? <br /><br />The peonies photos are stunning! <br /><br />Love,Veranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-12180197567127128372015-11-20T20:36:37.954+01:002015-11-20T20:36:37.954+01:00la pivoine..un poème!la pivoine..un poème!ELFIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709697150109137719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-30064182900678348522015-11-20T11:25:05.122+01:002015-11-20T11:25:05.122+01:00Happy 18th to your daughter!!!
