You only had to wait 24 hours for the "surprise". I had to wait 2 weeks.
For the NEW - WONDERFUL MAISON PIERRE HERME DESSERTS MINI COLLECTION!
I spotted on Flickr a wonderful photo by ICY NERD of these sweet little dollhouse Pierre Herme desserts and of course I HAD TO HAVE THEM!
I went madly searching all over the web and ended up in Hong Kong!The new set is made by MegaHouse in Japan.
I couldn't really be sure what size the miniatures were? Would they go with my dollhouse tea set?
Hmm...after careful comparative analysis I have to admit that no, they are much smaller than the dollhouse tea set. This "real" package of Pierre Herme hot chocolate powder is 4 1/4" tall versus the miniature is just 3/4" high.
Oh well..on verra bien as the French say. It will all turn out well hopefully.
This is Pierre Herme's Fall catalogue, sized 5 3/4" wide by 8 1/4" tallThe tiny life-like PH sac is 2" x 2" You get the picture?
LOOK! Even one teeny, tiny jar of Christine Ferbier jam made for Pierre Herme is included. You tell me what the flavour is. My magnifying glass isn't strong enough. I think I need a microscope here.
You can order your set of 8 boxes of heavenly Maison Pierre Herme Desserts Mini Collection from Angolz.com in Hong Kong and you'll get it in about a week.
Plus Herme is having a contest/lottery for 8 free sets if you sign on before January 18.
At least all the desserts fit nicely on my dollhouse silver tray. Look at it this way - What better way to curb your appetite after the Holiday excess with these non-caloric miniatures? 
Well, well, well so that's what it was. I LOVE THEM! Only you could manage to find these.
ReplyDeleteThe paintings of the charming bird I like even more than the miniatures!
ReplyDeleteCute paintings. The yellow bird looking into the box looks like he's thinking "They're only that big?". Love them on the silver Tray. Now you can buy faux Macarons & I can't find real ones to taste. What's wrong with this picture??? hmmmm
ReplyDeleteWhy do I have the feeling each of those cute, and inquisitive little birdies...are standing in for
ReplyDeleteyou today, Carol?
Those are a riot. I think your paintings are exquisite, but the miniatures wouldn't be very satisfying, I'm afraid! I agree--the little bird looks like he's thinking "is that all there is?" like the Peggy Lee song!! ;))
