It's just a prop right now, I don't know yet how to morph the chain so that it moves. In theory there is a way to make it open as well, but I will have to read to see how it works (so it doesn't leave the clasp in midair ;) )

It's over at Dollhouse and More, and most of the carpet and wallpaper they sell is for 1/6 scale, but usable for larger dolls if you want a small throw rug or a small repeat paper pattern. It's just a fun browse, too: https://dollhousesandmore.com/product-category/wallpaper/bradbury-n-bradbury/

This is much further away from the house, and the animals seem a lot more relaxed; so I will probably keep the camera out there. J made a stand for the camera so it can be moved around more easily than the fiberglass urn that it was on before, too. Here are a couple of photos from Saturday night: A mouse: A pretty good skunk photo! I'm hoping to get the fox again--I can see the prints in the snow where they like to travel, so I will put the camera near the prints and cross my fingers. ___________________________________________________________________________ The doll show was, as usual, a lot of fun. It was also super crowded this year, so it was a little harder to paw through tupperware than in previous years--I still found a lot of inexpensive clothes and three pair of minifee shoes, which was great (especially at 3.00 a pair). I saw a vendor (verisariod at gmail) who makes comissioned miniatures of all kinds of things. The business card is a bit blu...

There is a huge diorama in the city of Hamburg, and Google built a cute toy version of their "street view vehicle" to explore it: (the actual photos were taken by a less cute rolling mini camera). If you want to check out the photos, go here: https://www.google.com/streetview/#miniatur-wunderland There is even a rock concert, and airport (sort of working airport!) and the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas. Told you it was big. :D

There is a whole series of photos with her Narae dressed and working as an artist. The detail in the props is delightful! Go see it here: http://www.antiquelilac.com/the-art-studio---fav-photos-2018.html And thanks to Cat for spotting this!

See this terrifying lady? She is really only one and a half inches tall, and the best thing about her (besides the rocking outfit) is her cat! I really wanted the cat, and went to the Warhammer store, bought the only set I could find that had the cat, and opened it up... to discover it was way, way too small for me to paint. The cat could sit on my thumbnail. But I have a friend of K's who loves to paint these Warhammer guys, so I gave him the set. And then last week a little box came in the mail, and it was Yvraine and her cat--from a different set (!)--all painted up and even with tiny perfect grass and flowers . It's just so amazingly awesome! It's is so small it's actually a little hard to get my camera to focus on it properly:  And the cat!! The eyes on the cat are the size of the head of a pin!! I kind of want to make a doll of her--I have the perfect person to do it with, my Swinte, who already kind of has that fierce expression.  It was SO NICE of J...

Sent to me by Laura. I love the tiny stove above the tiny stove.....

A fun little video of some (mini version) landmarks, complete with mini tourists :D https://nyti.ms/2nSfOGP

Those little Warhammer guys are really fun, They are also tiny--Barry here is like an inch high--K did a good job painting him up. I broke down and bought some official paint for them too, since I have a microscopic fantasy cat to paint.

K and I went to a local pancake place that turned out to be a stealth Greek diner. So we both got "Greek" entrees and those were pretty good (a good gyro, and a chicken breast with feta cheese and leafy greens). The sides were pretty dire, including these buns that looked like  refugees from an airline supply place; not only were they nasty when they emerged from the factory, they had become stale over the period of weeks or months they were entombed in plastic. I have to say the baked goods in the case looked good (and local) and they had some stellar looking gelato off to the side. I might go back since it's so close, they are open late and they serve breakfast all day; a meal that is hard to ruin. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, though. I didn't try the coffee. From there we went to Target, and they are full of Christmas toys--all the My Generation props work with SD dolls, and there were so many cute food items I was overwhelmed and bought none o...
