  1. Hi, it's Mimi from Miniature Historian. Thanks for linking back to my blog. I'm very flattered you mentioned it and like it. :) Feel free to link to anything.

    I love your blog! It's the best DIY one I have ever come across. I bought the pie safe from an Ebayer. So feel free to create a copy. Hehe. Wish I had your wood carving talent. I've been wondering what "safe" saws I should buy for the longest time...thanks!! :)
