Made by Miriana

I'm so happy to introduce you to my little family of tiny handmade creatures by Miriana! This blog post topic was suggested by Abby and Cosima, thank you! :) xx

The parade
My little family created by Miriana


As you can see I'm so lucky to have a big and varied collection - 2 kitties (and their tiny kitties), a ballerina bunny, a heat doll and a rainy doll.

I can't remember now how long it is that I have known about Miriana and her talent for making little handmade dolls, kitties, bunnies and other creatures, but I am so thankful I discovered her.  Not only are her creations so cute and full of personality, but the way she photographs them is wonderful and make me smile, I am always waiting for her next photo on Flickr and blog post! 

I was thinking of doing an little interview with Miriana for this post, but sadly someone just beat me to it and I think their's is so good there is no point repeating it...you can read it here Q&A with Miriana

You can follow Miriana at Facebook, Flickr and some other places too, all of which are linked on the Dollitude Blog you can buy her little creatures and brooches here
 
2 of my favourite of Miriana's photos on Flickr are this one  - isn't that a photo you wish you'd been lucky enough to capture! and this one -  I just love stripes and one of my little dollies is in the photo too! 
 
My biggest regret is not being able to bring home the most delightful little pink elephant that was available in Miriana's Etsy Shop it was love at first sight, but I had to wait until I had been paid before I could bring it home...it was there for a while and then right before I got paid it got snapped up :(  I guess it just wasn't meant to be eh!
 
Here is some more about my collection...
 
The hand painted boxes are as wonderful as the little doll inside!
 
Sometimes they arrive with little teeny tiny friends of their own!
 

They like to find little places to hide..
 
 and peep out of!
 
Sometimes they go back and hide in their boxes for a while
  
 but sometimes they like to hop in your pocket for a trip out!
 
 They like to hang out together..
  
 but also enjoy time on their own, finding a warm coffee cup to lean on
 
I hope you enjoyed meeting my little Miriana family and please go and check out Miriana's Flickr and Blog!

  7. Thanks so much for dropping by...I am such a big fan of your blog and your taste in everything! These little ones are wonderful aren't they, I really must get another blog post sorted, but the problem is I've discovered so many I enjoy reading since I've joined in that I spend far too much time reading everyone else's blogs!
