Oh, I wonder if she will get to see Kertasníkir. I hope that is suitably exciting, and not scary. My best wishes to all the Quimper Hittys for wonderful holidays.
Þakka þér kærlega fyrir
Love her bed! Is it a carved box? It’s the perfect size for her.
We found the box in a Thrift Store. All the best beds are Min-sized, the other Hittys are envious!
Hope Min gets to see the last Yule lad. This has been very interesting for us. Many thanks to Min. She demonstrated every scene perfectly and tastefully. Merry Christmas Min, Constance, Rose and all the other Quimper hittys and Christmas Greetings to the human family too. Have a wonderful wonderful time together.
Thanks – greetings to you and yours too. Take a peek tomorrow, and you might catch a glimpse of the Yule Lad’s face!
Oooh the chip carved bed! And the tiny mushrooms! I LOVE all the details you put into your photos!
Thanks – we have fun!
Enchanting!
