However, all good things must come to an end (WHY though?!) and so today I'm tentatively back at work in my unbelievably messy workroom, putting the finishing touches to one of my Mignonette Doll Boxes, for a very patient Canadian customer *waving... "Hi Lucille"!*
It's been a while since I last made one, and over the past few weeks I've enjoyed rediscovering the joy of starting off with a plain wooden box and finishing up with a French-inspired doll box.
Inside the box, two silk pads which display a tiny porcelain doll, a selection of three different silk and lace dresses, with matching bonnets, plus various personal accessories, including jewellery, tiny posy of silk roses, fan, framed sepia photo, brush, mirror and comb.
This box has now been carefully packaged and tomorrow will start winging its way to its new home in Alberta, Canada.
My current clearout has revealed several different wooden boxes, in a variety of shapes and sizes, so I'm looking forward to creating more Mignonette Boxes over the coming weeks and months.
However, for the rest of this week I'll mostly be attempting to restore order to the universal chaos currently reigning in the workroom.

I sounds like you had a VERY Happy 59th Birthday , Sandra and how nice is a visit from the kids especially with a grandchild in tow! :D
I hope that your grand daughter just as fascinated by the tiny things you make as the rest of us are, because the Mignonette Box is a Visual Delight!
I'm sure that Lucille in Alberta will be Over The Moon, once she receives it! Thank you Very Much for sharing the preview of it with us ♥
