Hi you all!
Today is Paper Saturday, so I am linking up with some matchbox angel-doll decorations that I made. They can also be used as gift-boxes for small presents or vouchers.
I used the same pattern that I used for my tag on Tuesday. This time I used a vintage angel scrap for the head, and different trimmings for their skirts. The gold decorations have been made with liquid pearls. I fixed a ribbon-loop onto the back of each one so that they can be hung on a Xmas tree. I gave the dolls unmoveable joints, but they can also be jointed with small brads to make them moveable.
When I went for my walk yesterday I decided to walk in the other direction along the Rhine, a very quiet and peaceful stretch, which I enjoyed, although it was very cold and windy, even the horses were wearing their winter coats!
This little house is almost hidden in the trees:
An old pump house from the 18th century.
The next little town in sight:
An old mile stone, showing the distances in kilometers to the Dutch border, to Basel and to Rotterdam:
The sun tried to break through the clouds:
Have a good weekend, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Really cute little angel boxes Valerie and a fabulous idea too.
ReplyDeleteLove the scenic pics too as the Autumn shades are stunning.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Fliss xx
What fun angel ornaments, they would look good on a tree.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very interesting walk, I liked the mile (kilometre) stone. I've just looked up the German word and it looks like it's milestone in German too.
Yes, a 'Meilenstein' is used to denote a milestone, a big or special event. The term miles disappeared when Napoleon introduced the metric measures in the 18th century. But it is a lovely example, there are very few of them left.
ReplyDeleteDeine Engelchen sind echt klasse geworden und die Fotos bringen wieder eine tolle Herbststimmung rüber.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet face on your paper angel! Lovely decoration, Valerie! The pictures are stunning, but it sure does look chilly outside! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThose little boxes are a great gift idea, love the angelic decoration.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had another super walk, we had sun today, but it was icy cold.

Lovely little angel tree decorations/gifts, and very classy with their white gloves. I can imagine a silver tree covered with lots of the angels and it would look beautiful. Your photographs are beautiful, and I too like the milestone photos. Are you a professional photographer? I always feel I can see your photos hanging in a gallery exhibition they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess, I don't have a tree, but will spray some branches silver. I just take photos for fun with a tiny Samsung camera, but it gives good results.
DeleteGood Afternoon Valerie. I just love those pretty angels and I can see them now hanging on the tree. Another day of wonderful pictures, you know how much I love them. We enjoyed your lovely Vegetable Casserole last night and with warm crusty bread was just what was need on such a cold day. This is a definite favourite. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xxxx
ReplyDeleteDiese Anhänger sind so zauberhaft! Ganz toll gemacht! Ein schönes Wochenende für dich, LG LonettA
ReplyDeleteHoi Valerie, super wandeling! Wat een mooie omgeving . Ha ha nog lang niet bij Rotterdam . Ik zou graag samen met je willen wandelen met mijn honden en genieten van de omgeving. Maar helaas het is te ver van mijn leefomgeving. I love your little angels!! (Some dutch in this reply xsie)
ReplyDeleteYes, it's pretty here, I don't have a dog any more, so have to walk alone! But I enjoy it.
DeleteSweet idea Valerie :) and love your last colourful pages really cheerful :)

Aren't your Angels simply gorgeous, How lovely they will look hanging on a tree, Enjoyed your walk, Love the old milestones, I remember the ones on the Old Roman Road to London through the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, Always fascinating, lots of hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, oh wow these are darling. Love them and all the special touches you gave each. I would love to try a few. Thank you for sharing. Your walk pics are beautiful in your new direction. It's like a series called "Walks along the Rhine"
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday
Hugs
Love these angels - your special touches to their outfits are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe angels would look beautiful on a tree. From you photos I see there are still a lot of colorful leaves on the trees--since ours are all gone, I really enjoyed seeing more Autumn.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves seem to last longer here, we are close by the river and we have had soooo much rain!
DeleteWonderful pictures and such a grand walk. Your paper angels brought a big smile to my face. They would be smashing hanging on a tree!
