Chinoiserie at 1/12 Scale

Mini CCC

 

Do you remember reading Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift as a child? I was thinking I would like to be a few inches tall like the people of Lilliput and move into my dollhouse.

 At top is the master bedroom - I have just added the gold pagodas and the artwork to the fireplace.

Chinoiserie in the Garden

Southern Living Collection Door Mats

 

I spent much of yesterday in my garden. Lowe's delivered 2 pallets of bagged black mulch that my gardeners will put down on Saturday. I did some pruning and I also cleaned all my blue and white Chinese garden stools and fishbowls.

Chinoiserie Chic Mahjong

Southern Living Mahjong Green Ikat Tile Box Travel Set

 

Dillard's always wonderful Southern Living Collection has some of the prettiest mahjong sets with Chinoiserie Chic style. It's impossible to pick a favorite. And these would make great Mother's Day gifts.

Chinese Chippendale Bamboo Counter Stools

Spring is here and that means gardening projects, spring cleaning, and perhaps a refresh for your home and wardrobe. 

I am having 120 bags of my favorite black mulch delivered tomorrow. I love the way the black makes green and color in the garden really pop as well as my blue and white Chinese garden stools and blue and white Chinese fishbowls.
