Nothing new

Than why post? Because I want to stay in the rhythm of posting.

And because our garden centre has its yearly miniature display again. I showed it before, I think in 2013, but it is too nice not to show again.

Sorry for the sudden ending but there were people closing in on me.


I haven't done anything but my mum found a toilet at the dollar store. It contains brown slime and makes for a great modern toilet.



Comparing it to a classic toilet.


Oh yes, it needs cleaning! 😱



Looking good I think.

I also bought a Christmas ornament. Why would one want this in a Christmas tree? 
Will In have space in the kitchen for this? Probably not, but who knows...


I haven't had time for minis as I am clearing out my Barbies. I'm thinking of downsizing and that means getting rid of a lot of things I have collected over the years. This is just a very very small selection.









Thank you so much for visiting my blog and commenting. 
See you next time.

  2. I am glad you are staying in practice with the blog, because everything you've shared is interesting! How fun to see these kinds of displays in shops! We all go to extra effort this time of year, and it's amazing what surprising joy that brings!
    The toilet really is perfect! What a great find, and I am sure you can also put that putty to good use someday!
    Good luck with paring down the Barbie collection! It's fun when we organize just to see out treasures once again!

    1. Thank you Jodi!
      The display in the garden centre is especially nice because it's so accessible to children and they really get the magic of the mini world.
      As for the Barbies they do take me back in time. 2 sold, 50+ to go ;-)

  3. Hihihi, dat gore toiletje......goeie vondst, vooràl met dat bruine goedje erin, iew! Je hebt toch wel effe goed gepoetst, hè Véronique, voordat je vissite kwam... ;O!??
    Die Coca Cola koelkast....wie wil er nu géén vintage koelkast in zijn huis?!
    Ik zie dat jij een hele collectie Barbie's hebt opgebouwd, daar zullen vast mensen, die ze verzamelen, interesse voor hebben. Tja, af en toe moet men eens flink de bezem door het huis halen en met pijn in de buik afscheid nemen van 'schatten', die je in de jaren verzameld hebt. Succes ermee!
    Liefs, Ilona x

    1. Dank je Ilona! Het is vooral veel werk: uitzoeken wat de Barbies waard zijn, foto's maken en op marktplaats zetten. Ik heb er heel wat dus ben nog wel even bezig.

      Ja dat vieze wc-tje was een vondst van mijn moeder. Die kijkt ook al met 1:12 oogjes:-D

      Liefs, XXX

  7. Thanks for giving me a good grin… this "toilet" was a true burner - even with brown… eh... lets call it brown stuff in it! Great, what a find! And this fridge ornament was also a fantastic find, let's hope it will fit in your kitchen… otherwise… you will easily find a way to build a project around this fantastic piece. ;O) Thanks for sharing the video of this stunning display, this is an impressive diorama and it was fun to watch. And bravo for not only making your life a little lighter but also for keeping your collector's Barbie's in the boxes.

    Hugs
    Birgit

    1. You are right, I will probably build a project around the coca cola fridge. As for the Barbies in boxes, they are a minority. I have a whole boxless crowd of them waiting to be put on craigslist!

    1. Thank you Maria.
      I love the Cher Barbie too but I prefer 1:12 so she's got to go.

    1. Thank you Elizabeth, it's fun when friends and family start looking with 1:12 eyes and bring me their finds ;-)

  10. Hi Veronique! I am glad to see you posting "just because"!!! I do that all the time! LOL! (I get tired of not seeing something new on my own blog... so I post anyway!) I think your new "modern toilet" is brilliant!!! And the scenes in your local garden store are amazing! Are they part of a large Nativity? Or are they just beautiful miniatures? What fun to have that to visit!!! Thank you for sharing! :) Oh, and as for the Barbies... Your pony-tailed one in the zebra strip bathing suit.... I had that one in blonde when I was a child! And my sister had the red velvet coat one in a black bouffant hairstyle... I believe I still have pieces of the red coat that we eventually cut up and re-purposed for clothes for our trolls! LOL! This was in 1962 or thereabouts.... I'm afraid we let the Barbies go a long time past! :)

    1. Oh dear, your Barbie from 1962 would be worth a fortune were she undamaged, as would the clothes. :-D. But good of you to play with her as that was what she was created for.
      You made me think about nativities in shops in the Netherlands. Can't say I remember ever seeing one. This garden centre has the miniature display, a photo booth with some fake igloos and fake polar bears and an old fashioned carousel. The real meaning of Christmas seems to be reserved for homes and churches. :-(
