Some of you must have seen them already.:)
Yesssss that was Me who emailed
very very very talented Ilona asking if
she could be interested in making them for me! Whenever she shows her flowers to us I am amazed by the details, colours and the fact that they look very real.:) So imagine my thrill when
Ilona wrote to me she accepted my order! I couldn't wait! I knew they would be fantastic but when I saw them on her pictures I ...couldn't find the right words to desribe them! I mean how many times you can repeat just: beautiful, fantastic, pretty?;) And oh yes! I was so greedy that when she showed me 3 stems I wanted them all!!! Okay, I have to admit I am a bit crazy fan of orchids I would love to have all of their kinds 1:1 scale home but unfortunately the only kind that survives on my window sill for long time is phalaenopsis...
Today little orchids arrived! I carefuly opened beautifully and safely made box and saw them. My jaw dropped and when I picked it up I couldn't stop smiling.:) These pretties are here! Outstanding! Extraordinary and so beautiful and so fragile...
And they brought pretty gifts with them! See this teeny tiny perfume bottle? I don't know how you can make such a small bottle,
dear Ilona. And these pretty love letters? And the orchid painting? And these two orchid flowers to adorn bride's hair?
And this is my first ever bag from a famous designer!;)
To prove I am crazy-orchid-fan I will show you "my" orchids so far. In miniature of course!:)
These pretties in white-blue pots are a gift from
dear Sans and I know I am showing you them a little too late but they were just waiting for a special occassion.;)
I am slowly thinking of making a little orchidarium or greenhouse for all of them. And I hope my collection of mini-orchids will grow in time.;)
So let me thank to these two Amazing Ladies:
Dearest Ilona, Thank you very very very much for spending hours working on my beautiful orchids! Thank you for sharing your talents with us and specially me. And thank you for teaching them how to fly!:D
Dearest Sans, I hope you don't mind I show your pretty and colourful (just like you:):) gift that made me smile and brightened our winter days.:) Thank you so much for them and for your friendship too.:)
Myślę, że niektórzy z Was zdążyli je już zobaczyć na blogu Ilony.:) Zawsze podziwiam jej prace, a najbardziej właśnie kwiaty, które w tej mini skali wyglądają jak żywe. Kiedy więc zaakceptowała moje zamówienie nie mogłam się doczekać.:) Kiedy zobaczyłam je na zdjęciach brakowało mi słów, a kiedy dziś je rozpakowałam, to mi po prostu szczęka z wrażenia opadła.;) Są prześliczne, niesamowicie realistyczne i bardzo delikatne. Wzbogaciły moją niedużą kolekcję storczyków w skali 1:12.:) Jak widać na fotkach dostałam też urocze prezenty, w tym moją pierwszą w życiu torebkę od Guccie'go.;) Storczyki w biało-niebieskich doniczkach są prezentem od Sans.:) Powoli zaczynam myśleć z czego zrobić orchidarium lub szklarenkę dla nich.:) No i mam nadzieję, że moja kolekcja mini storczyków będzie rosła, bo prawdziwe storczyki poza phalaenopsisem nie chcą u mnie rosnąć...
