Today, the miniature Flower Fairy book kit I ordered last month from Malta finally arrived in my mailbox. And an unexpected gift from I suspect Danni, with a maneki neko notebook and not one, not two, but eight tiny maneki neko beads all different, and all unlike any of the other ones in my collection. This brings my total up to 33! In addition, a large flowered box of 1:12 goodies from my pal Ånni was delivered later in the day, which included a spinning wheel, some small crystal/glass pretties, and quite splendid large sideboard just calling out for a creative paint job. I suspect it will end up as art and craft supply storage, since my tiny friends seem to be expanding their handcraft horizons.

time in the tinyworld:
another addition to my tinyworld library... I wanted to try one of the book kits from My Miniature World Shop, which are quite reasonable in price, especially considering the cost and inconvenience of my taking a PDF to a copy shop. I chose "The Book of the Flower Fairies" It took 4 weeks to arrive, which was well within the estimated time suggested in the site info, and Rebecca had already cut the pieces into strips ready to be assembled. Since I have already done quite a bit of mini bookbinding, I didn't need to avail myself of her post about how to turn the kit into a book, as I have my own preferred techniques. I am very happy with the quality of the printed kit, the tiny text is very clear and easy to read, and the images are crisp.time in the tinyworld:
