And we couldn't have been better placed - in between the talented Véronique Bailleul (thanks for the Bounty!) and Michelle LeBouteiller. In fact it was Véronique that advised me to do a show a few years back.
On s'est bien amusés hier au SIMP, bien au chaud entre Michelle (petits bonheurs) et Véronique Bailleul (merci pour le bounty!) qui d'ailleurs est une des première personne à qui j'ai montré ce que je faisais, il y a quelques années.....et qui travaille le bois comme personne, j'adore!
We thought you might enjoy some photos of our stand. We only had one metre of space into which we had to cram about three metre's worth of miniatures, but exceptionally, having arrived more than the traditional 10 minutes before the show opened (early mornings? Yuk!) we had time to play around before the hoards were let in. And I just found a whole drawer full of stock that I forgot to take and hadn't even realised until now... :-/
Évidemment, après des semaines de panique à penser qu'il n'y aurait pas assez à montrer, force était de constater qu'à l'inverse, il y en avait trop!!!! Au point que j'en avais oublié plein à la maison....sans compter tout ce qui était "presque" fini.....pffffffffff!!!
Rosanna,who was doing her first show with her gorgeous needlepoint, Christel, (oooooh my god, can you believe I forgot about this clock I wanted until this morning?!!!! Well, it seems you forgot as well:) Synnove, Marcella, Jackie from Scotland, Sophie (happy two year wedding anniversary for today!), Elena, Arantxa, Corinne, Anita, Annabelle (who makes the most exquisite miniature babies). And of course, Marie-Pierre, who was (all always will be!) the very first "Emmaflam & Miniman" customer :o)
C'était l'occasion de rencontrer ou retrouver plein de gens fort sympathique de la sphère internet dont Rosanna qui sait tenir une aiguille, et pas qu'un peu! Christel, Synnove, Marcella, Jackie, Soffy, Elena, Aranxta, Corinne, Anita, Annabelle qui fait de sublimes bébés...et plein d'autres! Et bien sûr, Marie-Pierre, qui est et restera pour toujours la toute première cliente d'Emmaflam & Miniman :o)
A big thank you to Peiwen for the lovely hortensia flower and all of her kind words about my work :o)
Nous avons aussi rencontré l'adorable Peiwen (Oiseau de Nim) qui m'a offert un hortensia (que nous allons tenter de replanter :) merci Oiseau!
I just had to put one of my miniature ones with it!
J'ai pas pu résister!
And sweetest surprise of the day? Leyla, Annabelle's cute daughter who loves cakes and seems taken with my mini cakes has set her heart on doing the same and sent her Mum to the show with some miniature liquorice and a tiny box that she made from Fimo. And for a 6 year old, I think she's off to a flying start!
Mais la plus jolie surprise de la journée, je la dois à la fille d'Annabelle, Leyla, qui aime beaucoup les gâteaux, les vrais qui se mangent, et les petits que je fais en fimo. Elle m'a offert plein de bonbons au réglisse anglais et une petite boîte en Fimo adorable!
Le plus fort, c'est que Leyla n'a que six ans et demi, je crois que la relève est assurée, n'est ce pas?!
Merci beaucoup et gros bisous Leyla :o)
Thank you Emma & Neil, you are always sweet and nice and kind. It's been a big pleasure to meet you. My purchases from you have aroused a "few" ohs and ahs but they all had to keep their eyes into their sockets when I've shown you your cakes. See you next year, Rosanna (^_^)

I can't believe I've missed this show by a few days!! I live in Paris and it was only last week when I really discovered miniatures and I'm IN LOVE with them! I'd love to try to make them too! Yours are amazing, perfectly detailed, perfect color compositions, and your ideas and collections are fantastic! Your stand in incredible. Even the little furniture is exactly the style I love! Wow I'm speechless!!
