Melissa and I each like to collect old clock casings. You just never know what a little box might hold, you know? Like maybe a chandelier made out of birthday candles.
that is it...my children are now orphans as you have killed me! where, oh where does one find such a thing??? i will not be able to get this out of my mind. i cannot let lily + eme see this or they will come totally undone when i say that we don't ahve one of those! xxx, you always inpire me!
lynne speaking of princess pea and fairy tales if you plan to visit nj by june you should see the jennifer angus exhibit melissa - if you are feeling up to it i think you would really like it i wrote about it on my blog the other day
That is so great. I never thought about old clock casing to use for a little box. Do you buy with the clock inside and then deconstruct or do you find them with out the clock?
gasp! I am in convulsions over how lovely/adorable/pure awesome that is!!! I had a major thing for miniature stuff when I was younger... er... I guess I never grew out of that. All I know is that when I found the miniature beakers in chem class I was elatedly happy.
I'm in love with this idea!! They remind me of Joseph Cornell boxes or something... magical!! My Grandpa used to collect watch parts and now I wish I had them. You are just full of endless ideas!!!
that? is crazy cute.
ReplyDeletei love this
ReplyDeleteso good

I'm sorry, but that is just so freaking adorable! So who gets to play with it though... a small person or Mom? :-)
ReplyDeleteHow on earth do you keep little fingers out of that?! It's very cute.
ReplyDeletethat is one of the best things i have ever seen. ever.
ReplyDeletePlay is good for all of us, maybe especially us "grown ups". This is precious and magical.
ReplyDeleteit turned out perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteLife can be so mundane sometimes..this picture brought a thrill, an involuntary smile. It is too, too perfect.

ReplyDeleteCutest thing EVER! I mean, for real. Whatever it was in it's former life will never compare to what it gets to be now!
ReplyDeleteI found the clock casing empty, on ebay. Not at all expensive.
ReplyDeleteWho knew? :)
This is superbe! What a great idea to make it in to a little tale-house! I just looove the chandelier and the matrasses.
ReplyDeleteIt is very very cute !!! I love that idea ! Be careful, a fairy might come on of those days... You should put a little bit of cake (chocolate and hazelnuts) in a tiny little plate...
ReplyDeleteThat was one of my favorite stories when i was little. Belle journée :)
I wish I could shrink myself down and take a nap on that cozy princess bed. Amazing creation Lynne!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so clever and magical and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteso cute. great idea. i just love princess and the pea.
