Recently Lidi Stroud, miniature basket maker extraordinaire, at Basketcase Miniatures offered this gorgeous shopping basket in her 100 Followers giveaway and I won it!! I'm so excited about it, it's going to be so perfect for Emily to take to the market every day (you can read about Emily here). The detail and perfection of Lidi's tiny baskets is just incredible. I was lucky enough to receive one last year on my birthday and I just love it, I'm super lucky to now have another. Thank you so much Lidi for your generousity, I'll truly treasure this little basket - it's going to give a real 'slice of life' to my French project.
Click here visit Lidi's Etsy store - maybe a little basket is just the treat you deserve for Christmas...
On another subject ... you're probably wondering if the little tree-stump house is ever going to be finished - well there has been a bit of lull in the proceedings because I'm recovering from surgery - I'm doing just fine but it's holding me back from getting busy in the workshop. However, it won't be too long now and it should be finished ready for playtime. And I'm just busting to get back to Emily's apartment above the brocante.
Also a big welcome to a number of new Followers, always nice to see new faces, thanks for stopping by.
And yes, I have noticed the number has gone a little over the 500, plus it was my 2nd Blog anniversary a few days ago, so some kind of giveaway celebration is appropriate - so many things to think about! Will it happen before Christmas? Let's wait and see...

What a gorgeous basket, lucky you.
Bravo, Norma ... You had the chance to win this beautiful shopping basket and congratulations to Lidi who made it :). I can already see, inside, the beautiful vegetables from the market Mouffetard where I imagine Emily's great Parisian "brocante". It will not break on the left bank, in the heart of the Latin Quarter ...
Congratulations, Norma, that basket is just divine. You are very lucky!
I hope you are all recovered quickly. :)
That basket is totally gorgeous... so hard to believe that it is minature! :)

Lovely basket Norma,I hope you are feeling much better after surgery, can't wait to see more of your tree house.
Congratulations on your lovely win, hope you are recovering well. Love the idea of a story behind your Brocante, it brings it all to life. The tree-house is so cute too, I may need to borrow that idea sometime for my children in a few years!
This little basket is amazing! Congratulations, Norma!
Hope you get to feeling better soon!
