Club Little House Reveal

I've been sitting on these photos since mid-November and I just cannot stand it anymore.

Remember these little boxes from before? 

Contained in these beribboned cardboard boxes are 12 Romantic Picnic sets.

All the ingredients for a lovely day at the park for two sweethearts including a bouquet of flowers.

This is the whole set with blanket so the duo don't get their clothing dirty. The menu includes apples, bread, and donuts (inside the white box). I used some scraps of old flour sacking to make the reusable shopping bag for the produce and bread. Glasses, plates, and bottles of wine came from a dollhouse supplier.

Notice the Tiffany blue? I think a proposal might be part of the afternoon. What a lucky dollhouse girl!

More shots of the edibles. I printed the white takeout container for the donuts from Jim's Dollhouse Minis

I hemmed 1" squares of white linen and embroidered cherries on one corner. Crazy, I know.

This was way more work that I had expected, mainly because I kept getting inspired with more details. I ALMOST made 12 miniature corkscrews, but I was running short on time.

Some of the Club Little House members have already received parcels full of amazing handmade dollhouse items. I can't wait until mine comes. Hopefully before Christmas!
