I spoiled myself today!

Today i went to a miniature fair in Rijswijk and i bought very nice things, you can say i spoiled myself.
A lot of nice goodies.
A modern step, a ladder, a metal rack,  some flowerpots and in front a cookie tin to decorate and some tray's.
Two more flowerpots, a side table, a mirrorcabinet, some toys and two plastic storage bins.
A fireplace with light in it and a little house.
A book by Angie Scarr about making miniature food wuth a dvd, a writing desk and another book with an angel on the cover to decorate the insite (a box )
A modern chair.
A drainer with dishes and the gold thing in the back is a empty pocket watch to decorate.
The little toys again, a piggy an tiny teddy.
Two bottles of wine in a winestand, two buckets an two bunnies.
A garden water-thing...i don't know how you call it and a tub, both for in the flowershop.
A whole bunch of leaves.
You see i really spoiled myself.
I did have a lovely day with lots of inspiration at the fair.
For some unknown reason they removed the playground at the hal in Rijswijk, so my son was very dissapointed at first, but there was also a stone and miniral market at the same place and he liked that a lot.
He bought some shark teeth and a couple of stones.

Thanks for all your congretulations on my 200 followers post.
I appriciate it a lot, i am so very happy to get to know so many nice people true this international medium. I am working on a give-away and its almost ready.
Have a nice weekend .

With love

Boy with skatedoard.

 Look at this funny little boy playing with his skateboard.
 He is made by my mother specially for me.
She made him out of Fimo and dressed him in jeans and knitted a sweater for him.
He is wearing leather sandals.
The only thing she bought (in the toyshop) is his skateboard.

My mum likes too make dolls very much.
I think she makes a doll a day.
I infected her with the Dollshouse/Miniatures Virus a couple of years ago.
She is retired and has a lot of time to make mini's (a lot more time than me).
She has a canalhouse, cafe with upstairs living, a little candyshop, a wool and sewing shop in a sewingmachine- case, a serre, a whole fancy-fair,a leathershop with lots of bags in it in a leather bag, a clockshop in a clockcase and many more...
I remember when she started..
She wanted to buy a big dollshouse to fill (her canalhouse) .
She told me:" I want a big house so i only have one house and stick with one house or project."
I said to her... "No mum, we shall see, if this house is full you are hoked and you sure want more.
She didn't believe me at that time, but i was right, see now is totally hooked on making miniatures."
She specially likes too knit and make dolls.
Ones a week she comes too my house in the evening and we are making a project together or just chat about our mini-ideas.
I feel so lucky that we now share the same hobby and i am very glad i infected her.

 He seems to have a lot of fun with his skateboard.
Thank you mum.
I like him very much!
I love you.
