I have to thank Carol for reminding me about my little greenhouse not so long ago. Her comment made me thinking I should finish this really little project THIS YEAR!!;) I made a floor and steps and I have to admit I left it for many reasons. Some of them were serious, some not so much, I found this little glass house to be a bit troublesome. For example for a very long time I couldn’t find the right solution for unpainted pieces of glass. These “windows” were suppose to have a blind or at least a curtain and I couldn’t decide what it should have been and how it should have looked like because I wanted it to be a bit transparent too.
This week I found every and each solution for any problems of this greenhouse! And I finished it today!
So first things first: I wrote long time ago that this project title is “My Little Peasure”. Why? Well, more than year ago one of our famous beauty shop’s was selling before Christmas a little plastic bath tub with some soaps in it. The bath tub was 1:12 scale and quite transparent and on one of it’s sides there was a sentence, like this:
When I found the greenhouse I immediately thought it should be a place where I could use and put this plastic tub in. A place where someone could feel good and relax. This someone’s little pleasure, a peaceful oasis...So much about the title.;)
Here you see a bath tub ready to be placed in the greenhouse. I painted it with zinc acrylic paint outside, so in the inside the name of the project still is easy to see. I added a little pillow for comfort and a little towel which I sprayed with Mr. Super Clear(a mat seal used usually for painting BJD’s faces, but it also makes fabric a bit stiff and staying in shape one wants).
Again this project includes miniatures from Friends and Artisans just like this table. The table and the bottles on the shelf are gifts I won in Lainie’s give-away last year. I added a shelf (cardboard) and aged the table(this time for ageing I used golden acrylic paint – I really like the result:)), put a few towels too. The basket is from my dear Friend, Glenda Howell, who makes just perfect baskets for roses(and anything else too!). The bottles with soaps were bought from Jennifer of Looking Glass Miniatures. The soaps(real!!) on the bowls are a gift from Ira Martikainen(hope one day she will come back with her wonderful posts and miniatures – I miss her a lot:)). The bowls are made by me.
One of my already well known;) stools with a few towels(made by me) and a perfume bottle plus a box (aged by me)of beauty bottles -again a part of Lainie’s give-away – also ready to put in.
And there is one more very special gift I won in Margaret’s give-away(miss you too, dear Margaret!) also last year. This stunning chandelier already hanging in the greenhouse. The curtains in the “windows” also are hanging ready.
So here are quite a lot photos of My Little Pleasure!

And with someone that came to check if she fits there:
Can’t show you more of her as she is almost naked! LOL! She is one of my two dolls made by Annemarie Kwikkel very gifted Artisan and very dear Lady from Holland. You can see more of my doll on Annemarie’s site and I can show my doll’s sweet face to you here:
Special thanks go to:
Glenda of Peppercorn Minis
Jennifer of Looking Glass Miniatures
Lainie of Lainie's Little Things
Ira of Merry Jingle Crafts
Margaret of My Petit Parterre
And to for Carol of World Costume Dolls for reminding me about the greenhouse!
Hope you like my finally-finished-project!
Dzięki niedawnemu komentarzowi Carol udało mi się zmobilizować I zakończyć projekt My little Pleasure. Nazwa wzięła się od wanienki z mydełkami zakupionej przed którymiś Świętami Bożego Narodzenia w Rossmannie. Wanienka jest w skali 1:12 i na jednym z boków miała właśnie napis: Moja mała Przyjemność. Stąd nazwa projektu. Kiedy znalazłam tę małą szklarenkę wiedziałam od razu, że chcę w niej zmieścić plastykową wanienkę i że projekt powinien jakoś odpowiadać rossmannowej nazwie. Chciałam, żeby to było miejsce odosobnienia, ciszy i całkowitego relaksu, coś jak (przy)domowe Spa. Znów projekt „wspomogli” blogowi Przyjaciele i Artyści. Stolik, buteleczki na półce i buteleczka na taborecie to prezenty od Lainie, butelki z mydełkami są kupione u Jennifer, koszyk u Glendy, a mydła na miseczkach to prezenty od Iry. Jest jeszcze bardzo specjalny prezent – piękny żyrandol od Margaret, który sobie mogłam wybrać po wygraniu u niej give-awaya w zeszłym roku. Osobiście przerobiłam stolik od Lainie – dodałam półkę i postarzyłam całość, wszystkie ręczniki są robione przeze mnie, również miseczki(na których leżą mydełka), taboret no i przerobiłam wannę! Położyłam też podłogę, pomalowałam szklarenkę i zawiesiłam firanki w „oknach”. Panna która przymierza się do przydomowego Spa, to lalka którą na moje zamówienie parę lat temu zrobiła Annemarie Kwikkel, świetna Artystka i przemiła Osoba.
Mam nadzieję, że My Little Pleasure Wam się spodoba!

This is wonderful! love your tub and the place you made. Annemarie is one of my favorite doll artist. what a wonderful combination!
happy new year!
Ewa, as usual I am late but I am standing next to Birjit (yes, I am sure she is still here admiring that glass bathroom) going oolalah with my Singaporean accent :).
I hope that's not life size, honey, cos I am hogging that bath!
Rosanna is right, worth waiting a while for! And that doll, ooooooh! Perfect for that bath.
It may be your little pleasure, but it is my GREAT pleasure :).
Annemarie is one of my favourites too, Patricia! Happy you like the tub and the whole project! Thank you so much! And happy New Year to you too!
I was pretty sure you will like the doll, dear Sans!;D
No, it is not life size - although I wouldn't complain if it was too.;D
Thank you very very very much! And I am really happy I could make you a little pleasure!:)
Happy New Year Ewa :D i am late for the party as always...this bathtub looks so inviting ....i'm envious.....(probably cos i need a shower LOL)
Hahaha!:D Thank you so much, Cindy! Happy you like it!
Happy New Year to you too!
What a wonderful inspiration for a tradition - doing something you love to do BEFORE the new year. Even if you don't finish the project, you will have spent the "rest" of the year following your bliss. Cousin, yours must have been doubly blissful since the project was finished. May the rest of your years be as blissful and satisfying for you.
Thank you so much, dear Kathy and Tim! Best wishes of happines and health for the new yer for you too!
Z opóźnieniem, ale w zachwycie - tydzień mnie nie było, a tu takie cuda :) Spa jest niesamowite, w każdym szczególe! Jesteś dla mnie nieustającym źródłem inspiracji - zwłaszcza w kwestii, co i z czego można wykombinować w naszym ubogim w miniatury kraju :D
Dzięki Zosiu! Bardzo się cieszę, że Ci się podoba!:) Tak, niezła to sztuka zrobić cos z niczego.;D
Fantastic work¡ Love it
Cristina
