Look what I got & progress on Easter table

I don't know the English word for this kind of cupboard, in which one can display small items, but isn't it a beauty? I thought it was a bit too expensive, but when my husband saw that I had a hard time putting it back on the shelf, he bought it for me :-). It was totally white: I've put pieces of scrapbookpaper in it.

I've been busy on the Easter table for the bell jar.

I thought it would be nice to have breakfast outside, so I've put grass on the floor. Then I made the table. I displayed it here with some tableware. It was good to try that out, as I had many plans (coffee, easter-bread, easter chocolate thingies, etc), not realizing how limited the space is. I need to choose what the miniature people may eat/drink on Easter-morning!

The legs of the table are made of metal strips, with an ornament glued on them. Between the legs is a wooden bar, screwed on the ornaments with amazing tiny screws, just like in the real world. I glued the table cloth on the table to make it hang. Even though the fabric is thin, it won't hang on itselve.

To be continued...

Norma Bennett zei: Your new heart shaped 'shadow box' (the only English expression I know to describe this kind of tiny shelf unit) is sooo sweet - and a really romantic kind of a gift. It's nice I think to have a place to display all the lovely little things we collect but don't have a 'home' for right away.

Love the table, as always I'm jealous of your ability with metal :); 20 maart 2011 om 20:51

Flora zei: Marit dear, forgive me, in this period are burdened with commitments and I just now time to write reviews, but I can not resist the congrat you for the wonderful atmosphere you are creating under the bell jar :-)
A desire for a trip outside the city :-)
I love the table, but you're capable of this and more ...
In Italian, the shelf is called "bulletin board": as a child I had a very large, shaped ... house for dolls!
My fate was sealed :-)
