I just love the next piece from Jeff Mewies. When I tell you it cost me just £20 you can see why I feel so lucky to have found it/him. He makes a slightly larger one for £25 and a larger one again for £30. I don't even have a reason to have it in this project's narrative but my PhD student has now been given a passion for star-gazing. It was simply a must-have for me.

| The legs are hinged and the telescope expands |
 |
| Even more extension to the legs and 'scope - a truly lovely piece |

My poor Joanne is being replaced with Joanne Two. The one I have is lying down and won't 'fit' in the Rec room like that. This incarnation will sit on a chair but she does dwarf her brother a little so he might change as well! - Jennifers of Walsall |

| Just wanted to show you how beautifully Elisabeth Causeret packs her tiny items |
 |
| Two beautifully hand made ceramic mugs from Elisabeth next to a quite small teaspoon of mine. Imagine having to apply those handles. |
 |
| I have left this bowl on top of a box which is the same length as the teaspoon to give you the sense of scale. They are perfectly paper thin potted pieces glazed and fired - notice the lovely little foot to the bowl. Elisabeth Causeret's work is just the best. |
 |
| Elisabeth's again - so paper thin and yes, hollow - a properly potted vase |
 |
| Ditto the above - no idea where they will go, but go they will. |

Felicidades por sus compran , son espectaculares:-)
ReplyDeleteGracias. Me paso demasiado.
DeleteI love seeing how others go about shopping at fairs. This year, for the first time ever, I took a list and stuck to it. Looks like you had a big shopping list =0D
ReplyDeleteThanks Pepper. I just saw your wonderful, wonderful, TYA Kitchen haul - aren't their things gorgeous. I had to sign up for your blog again - got a couple of weird bad links gentry to find my way back - just giving you a heads up in case you think folk have gone missing.
DeleteHello Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! You really have a great eye for miniatures. The porcelain is so delicate and beautifully made, but that telescope is amazing! what a great find!
Big hug
Giac
Thank you Giac. I love the telescope and could play with it for hours! I have always wanted Elisabeth Causeret's pottery so I was determined this time to find a few pieces I could afford. She has much more wonderful and beautiful things - these are the 'lesser' end of her creations..... but they're mine and I love them.
DeleteGorgonzola! Ha ha! Maybe a little green colored wisps of cotton coming out from them will convey the state of them! :o)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pottery, and white is always so classy and perfect in a scene!
The telescope was an amazing bargain! So realistic looking!
I'm going over to Elite Petit now for a look around! I love the frame, and thanks for the link!
Not sure her fretted stuff is on line....shame if not as there is heaps of lovely things. I'll go and look in a minute. Might be her daughter's work.
DeleteThe telescope is a great find, and yes I can see why you just had to have it. I think my favourite thing so far though just has to be your little pair of trainers - how fab do they look? Dead cool! I would say too, that you have very good taste in mirror frames!
ReplyDeleteframe.... sharing thoughts with a genius .... what can I say. I have owned the trainers before in my very first project but of course got sold on along the way so was chuffed to see them come round again - they need scuffing up a little and pong added

ReplyDeleteIsn't it a gem. He makes other lovely copper and brass things too. Marilyn
