There are many old lovely wooden villas and bungalows throughout New Zealand and in some areas where there were quarries some of the large historic buildings are stone. The city of Napier is famous for its art deco architecture because the city was rebuilt after a 1931 earthquake. Of course, compared to many other parts of the world New Zealand's history is relatively young. As for spiders, I am afraid we do have them but not too many scary ones. We don't have snakes though which is a good thing. There village where you live sounds wonderful. Perhaps you could take some photos and post them on your blog for those of us who don't get to see those wonderful buildings on a daily basis.12Createhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866346231581607726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700495780551372004.post-40705661502408178832014-03-03T10:32:46.716+13:002014-03-03T10:32:46.716+13:00Cara Sharee, il tuo negozio verrà bellissimo perch...Cara Sharee, il tuo negozio verrà bellissimo perché sono molte le belle idee che hai in testa.

I've never seen the pieck picture before so googled it, it's fab your toyshop could definitely replicate that, the exterior already has a good colour scheme! Love the doorway that adds great visual interest. <br /><br />What's the architecture like in new Zealand? my nan lived there for 5 years I think but I don't know where and I haven't seen the photos. The benefit of where I live is that living in a victorian village I can just look out my window for inspiration, I live opposite the old post office which is thatched, all the benefit of a thatch without it costing 10 grand every 10 years! Experience stuff. I'd love to visit as I hear there are no spiders!

Th...Please Freya, don't stop sharing the ideas. That is the fun thing with this blogging thing. Finding like minded people to share your interests with. I had to google the cup and saucer flowers. They are daffodils - so cute. While I may not use them in my toy shop my 11 year old daughter wants to make a magical shop and they would fit in perfectly with that. I have a real love of snowbell flowers and want to try to make some in miniature. I have far too many projects in my head. Since doing this post I have rediscovered my love of the Anton Pieck toy shop painting and I am going to try to base the outside of the shop on that image. I can't wait to see what you do when you create your toy shop in the future. I just know it will be a fun project to follow.12Createhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866346231581607726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700495780551372004.post-78295964721010234722014-03-02T13:45:43.640+13:002014-03-02T13:45:43.640+13:00You're right I just looked at the picture of t...You're right I just looked at the picture of the dolls house again and it is snug. I also just thought for the garden maybe some of those flowers from Charlie and the chocolate factory that are cups and saucers, that was my biggest dream when I was a littleun, for the past few years I've grown Canterbury bells but it's not the same! You could make them out of 1/24th cups? Or a fairies garden! When I finish my current house I am so doing a proper toy shop like you, straight out of a child's dream! Real toy shops are so dissapointing. I've got to stop taking over your project lol you've just got such a great ideas, it really gets the creative juices flowing!

It is one of their miniatures that came with the Sylvanians store. I love some of the little Sylvanians items. The little push along trolley is also Sylvanians. That is the good thing about doing a modern and vintage toy shop. Plastic and vintage celluloid can go within the same build.12Createhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866346231581607726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700495780551372004.post-57427076073342069712014-03-02T09:18:38.908+13:002014-03-02T09:18:38.908+13:00You and I are on the same page there Freya.

I must say I like the idea of rope ladders and a tree house - perhaps I can fit that in somehow - perhaps outside in the tree. My initial thought was that the house and a big tree had sort of merged but then I realised that because of the limited floor space in the building I wanted to mostly keep the tree to the ground floor, although perhaps a couple of branches might poke through the floor of the second level and be utilised for something within the toy shop.12Createhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866346231581607726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700495780551372004.post-40645720471180115092014-03-02T09:15:08.823+13:002014-03-02T09:15:08.823+13:00Thank you Esther, although I think you might be wa...Thank you Esther, although I think you might be waiting quite a while for the finished item.

I am so inspired by this project I can't wait to see how it progresses! Particularly love the board game floors they are so cool, you can imagine mini kids playing on them.
