I went to
Green Bean Books on Wednesday and installed my first public diorama. Wow! I've been excited all these weeks all the way until it was my scheduled time to be "in the box." I was planning and visualizing, photographing and fretting a little bit too. Jennifer at Green Bean was so supportive and nice and helped me feel relaxed about the whole thing. I'd gathered my supplies up a few days before the big day. Yes, everything was packed and ready.

| I think I see something! |
I spent over two hours putting it together, making sure everything was in place just so. Then, it was done! Whew! What a relief! So, without further ado, here's my diorama:
 |
| It's my first public diorama: Mama Tucks In Baby Mouse! |
It's called Mama Tucks In Baby Mouse. Mama has just read baby mouse a story, and now Baby is asleep in bed. And guess what else? There's a greeting card to match the diorama!
 |
| Latest greeting card by Plushpussycat Cards! |
It is blank inside, so it can be used for Mother's Day, Get Well Soon, and New Baby! My diorama will be available for viewing through April 30, 2012 (that's two more weeks than originally planned!) at
Green Bean Books in Portland. My greeting cards are available at Green Bean and in my
Plushpussycat Etsy shop. You can view Plushpussycat's entire selection of cards in my
Greeting Card Gallery. Hope to see you at the show! Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer

Sweet, sweet. sweet. I'm so happy, when somebody gets a chance to put her dream into reality, as I'm sure this is one of your dreams come true. :))
Such a sweet Diorama! I can feel your excitement from here, and it's contagious! I'm excited for you :) Sounds like you had fun with it all.

Aww, so sweet! I love it! I'm going to have to check out your greeting cards. I don't suppose you make them pixie sized, do you? I'd have a whole rack of them at the book store if you did. Just sayin. Adorable! - Miri
What a wonderful idea for your first Diorama!! I have such fond memories of bedtime stories and being tucked in so it warms my heart to look at this sweet little scene :0) I love the combination of the pink and blue gingham with the touch of bright yellow from the lamp, and the little heart rug is lovely :0) It all comes together beautifully, perfect for a greeting card!!

Que vibrante experiencia Jenny, el diorama es precioso, ha valido la pena.
Me alegro mucho por tu éxito amiga.
Un abrazo
It's just such an endearing scene, Jennifer. It has stolen my heart! Those little critters are so adorable!
Love it!! I've been waiting to see this :)
Now I wish my Portland trip was this weekend, so I could have seen it in person. My daughter would have loved it, but I suspect she would have wanted to 'un-tuck' baby mouse!
Aww, how cute is that?? :D
Oooh Jennifer, this is sooo lovely,the colors you used are very pretty, and the big mouse and the baby mouse are adorable !!
I love your new greeting card :)
Hugs Mieke xxx

Thank you, everyone, for your lovely comments! I appreciate you all so much--you're so supportive and friendly--it's a real joy having you all in my life! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment--I read every one of them, and they mean so much! :-) Jennifer
Hi Jen, I'm a bit late... I had trouble getting on your blog yesterday, always got an error-notice. I have not the slightest idea why, but what counts is that it works fine again now and I am finally able to see your diorama! What a cute scene, I think that's the perfect interpretation of the love of a mother for her child. And making a matching greeting card was very clever - I wish you a great success (which you will have, for sure) and big sales on your beautiful cards!
Greetings
Birgit
I love it! <3
Thank You for joining my blog and leaving the really nice comment. Congratulations on your lovely diorama. I've been reading your blog and really like it. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Birgit, tomgirlstuff, and Felma! I so appreciate your support! Thank you for trying repeatedly to get to my blog! I heard from one other person who was experiencing trouble too. I, on the other hand, had no trouble. Who knows why these things happen. Thanks again for taking the time to leave comments--I appreciate them so much! :-) Jennifer
Hello! Thanks a lot for your message on my blog! I'm happy to discover your blog now :-) It's so lovely!

Hi Klara! Thank you so much! It's great to hear from you! :-) Jennifer
Hi Jennifer! I´m so late with my comment as our computer crashed and I was offline for a few days. Your little scene is so cute and it must be amazing walking through all those shelfs full of books and suddenly get a glimpse of your diorama. What a surprise then!!! It´s so warm and cozy, something that brings joy to our hearts. Thanks for showing!
Hugs, Sandra
Thank you, Sandra! It's never too late to leave a sweet comment! Yes, that's just how it is with the books and the diorama in the middle of them all--very sweet. Of course the regulars know right where to go! ;-) Thank you for your lovely comment! :-) Jennifer
I actually have the vision of some small girls fighting for the best place to get a look inside the shelf.
(Anyhow that would be real if MY little one got there :-) ) Hugs, Sandra
That's a sweet image, Sandra! The owner of the bookstore said that kids RUN straight to the diorama when they enter the bookstore! Too cute! :-) Jennifer
Hahaha! So funny to hear that! ..but why am I not surprised !!???? :-)
Hi Sandra, You're very sweet! Thank you for your kind words. I love your blog. Sometimes I just go there to look at your wonderful kitchen photo at the top. It makes me smile! :-) Jennifer
Hi Jennifer, what a fantastic diorama! I love mum and her baby, so sweet! Gr. Nancy
Hi Nancy! Thank you so very much! Thank you for becoming a friend of Plushpussycat too! I LOVE your avatar--it's adorable! I hope to see more of you here! :-) Jennifer
