It's been a long time since I got something new, except the red phone cabin.
I didn't even plan to buy something, but I found some great deals, too great for I resist.
So, I am waiting for a new building, one of those old empty tiny shops - it's betty's toy shop. I'm planning to make it be either a pizza parlour, or... ok, I have tons of ideas (too many) that would be perfect for those tiny buildings (if only I could find 4 or 5...). From the same seller, I got the porch of my old manor. In fact, it's the porch I saw first, and decided to get the shop too, as it was only 5£ and only 0.50£ of extra shipping. The porch is not totally complete, it's missing a tiny "ball" but hey... it's going to be enough for me, and some Fimo will solve the problem !
Then I found in my own country a panda family. I already have some, but the father was totally damaged (if someone is interested in getting him, just wave the hand before it goes to the trash can). In fact, I don't like much the pandas, it's one of the families that never attracted me much BUT the price was very low, and... I have an idea to create a tiny display with a chinese theme...
And finally I found 2 babies from the blind bags 1rst set. I must say I don't like this idea of blind bags. It's a shame that we have to get many bags to get a set. AND some are harder to get than the others. AND here it's about 9€ something per bag (!) AND I have to find someone to drive me there...
Ok, too complicate, too expensive and too risky for me. So I just gave up, but I was a little bit sad because of the tiny poodle with the accordeon that I find SO cute. I just found a woman selling a set of 2, brand new, the poodle and the squirrel. It was offered for 6 + very low shipping. I made a 5 offer, and she accepted it. Wooohooo
Now let's wait and cross fingers for they all come home safely !
*and of course it's the perfect time to update again my wish list LOL*
Hi Arcadia,
RépondreSupprimerThe little poodle with his accordion is truly adorable!
I´m looking forward to buying some of these bags but it´s not easy to find them in Spain.
I would also like to add some of those empty shop to make my own for my village but the price is usually high due to the shipping.
Hello !
SupprimerAwww isn't this little poodle cute ?! I was SO happy to find this pair on ebay ! I know some people got a bunch of those discounted, but they didn't share where/how much... it's sad because here it's a nightmare to get them, a little bit more than 9€ each bag... ouch. If it's to end with 10 of the same, it makes the price really silly ! I have my eyes on 2 other auctions, for other babies, if the price stays fair maybe I'll try a bid...
Those tiny building were so clever, I wish they would be offering a kind of "kit" for the creative people, with just a building, it wouldn't cost much to produce, the design is already there...I've been trying to get one at least 20 times without success... so it was a big surprise to be the only one bidding on it (probably I was the 1rst to see it, as it was a "buy it now"... Maybe someday I'll end being able to build my own ones, but for now I guess I'm not really clever enough heehee
