 Iron cabinet and wooden modern bookcase (looks like the one they sell at Ikea in 1:1)

The Native American head is for my western shop and a bar of chocolate.

 3 spools of old sewing thread, i use for crochet, Barbie shoes and the sunglasses i got for free.

Beads

 some iron things to make photoframes.

There were not much visitors.

It was Fair with dollshouses, miniatures, old toys, hobby materials, dolls, bears trains etc.

It was so nice ! I forgot to take pictures of the day.

That was a lovely weekend with my mother, we came home very tired, with lots of nice miniatures, material and inspiration and a empty walled.

Today i played with "Lego"

Well it is not really Lego, it is called Nanoblock and i bought it in a gift shop.

It looks so nice in one of my boys rooms.

Now i want to make or find two tranparent boxes for the rest to go in this cabinet.

The Dolphin painting is made by a painter who paint with his fingers and nails.

I bought it many years ago from someone from Spain, he was painting on the streets in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). His paintings were a little bit larger but i asked him to paint a smaller one for me.

I have another painting from him in my first dollshouse.

I will make a photo of it later.
