When
Saskia and I were getting ready to leave for the
tea garden, I mentioned that I am looking for a doll cupboard to use for my doll quilts that I hand make. We stopped at a brocante shop as she needed to pick up something for her house. Next thing I knew she was asking me if this cupboard was what I meant? I could not believe it! If you need something just ask Saskia and she will find it within the hour. *wink*
It is like a little apprentice armoire and is about a half meter in height. When you open the very well made doors, it has three shelves just waiting to be filled...
...with little doll size quilts.
Before we left the tea gardens, we stopped in at the shop there and I found these beautiful porcelain balls. I have seen these often in black or blue and white which does not go with my interior. When I found these in brown and cream, I did not hesitate.
For now, they are in my wooden trough until I can make some tiny patchwork cushions. I have long wanted to make miniature patchwork cushions for in a wooden bowl and was so happy to have found this nicely shaped trough recently.

The porcelain balls are also very nice.

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful cupboard, and those porcelain balls are fantastic! I've been meaning to ask if you are Dutch? My husband is Dutch.
Your dolly quilts armoire is absolutely heavenly. What a lucky find. I think I need to ask Saskia to stay with me for a while :>)
The patterned balls are lovely. i have some black and gold ones a friend brought me from China and I love them. I can't wait to see the little cushions you make. The wooden trough is gorgeous.

Oh, Heidi - I love the armoire and the porcelein balls! Where will you be placing the armoire? Will you be leaving the doors open to show all the quilts? I have never seen decorative balls like the ones you found. I have some dark brown wicker ones.

Hello Heidi,
I love your armoire and what a fabulous find.
I've been away a long time, but it is certainly nice to pay a visit again. I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Oh Heidi...you little cupboard is absolutely wonderful! I too would have had to have that for all my smaller quilts. I miss it there...coming to your blogs always has familiarity from my years there. If only....we can go back in time and do some things once again.
Woww, what a wonderful little cupboard and just look at all those little quilts!! Have you ever showed them? Would love to see! Lots of fun making your first every miniature patchwork cushion! Have a nice day, Daniëlle
