I'm now married with a baby girl, and two promotions later, moving into a new home in a new state. Whew!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As we've packed I've realized I simply can't take it all with us, miniatures included.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've saved plenty for my little girl to enjoy and now I need to find homes for the rest, namely one very large Kalidescope house.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If anyone is interested in the Kalidescope house, or any other specific pieces of my collection, you can reach me at the email address linked on this blog. Please know, I am not interested in selling anything, I happy to give the items away. I hope someone else in this amazing community will enjoy them as much as I have. </div>

I actually received an Emerson for my birthday last month from the few that were sent to FAO Schwartz. Sadly, it arrived badly damaged and I was heartbroken. When we notified Brinca Dada much to their credit they immediately made it right. In fact, their CEO Doug personally took the time to make sure we were satisfied.

I'd like to see how it works with 1:12 items though since I have the furniture set and it seems to run a little small.

I've mentioned before it was not as pictured so I am doing my best to make lemonade : ) Thankfully my wonderful guy spent a few hours today helping me fit a faux (removable) floor in the great room. I think it's a wonderful thing. It camouflages the discolored floors - God knows I was running out of rugs - and kinda gives it some realism. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><br /></span></span></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3yrPSwkYtBM/SuT-pt_uvII/AAAAAAAAASY/pgs7JWMz6kA/s1600-h/wr-4.jpeg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3yrPSwkYtBM/SuT-pt_uvII/AAAAAAAAASY/pgs7JWMz6kA/s400/wr-4.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396718246171688066" style="display: block;

It's been a busy summer and all of the miniatures have found a new home in an actual workroom, you know the kind with real light and tables and shelving! I'll have to post some pictures soon. Things are finally slowing down both at work and home so I should be back to minis soon. We're also heading out for a vacation to Colorado so if anyone knows any great mini stores out there leave me a comment. A girl can only watch fly fishing for so long... : ) </span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Listening to Regina Spektor - On The Radio</div>petitenouveauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12282053165031628597noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981218246448728746.post-89271583400906903952009-06-04T21:52:00.003-04:002009-06-04T22:17:45.479-04:00I'm gonna have to hire someone to take pics<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Since the Kaleidoscope is still taking over the living room (man this thing is HUGE) the lighting situation is, well...rough.

My Kaleidoscope is finally here, except it's not. I came home yesterday, certain that after suffering through the three day weekend it would be waiting on my front porch. No such luck. I sulked to the mailbox, muttering under my breath, and pulled out a little peach slip saying my package was at the post office. Sweet! I could be there in under 5 minutes. Then I actually read the note that says, sorry, no dice, you can only pick it up after 8:00 am on Wednesday. <br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">So I work all day knowing when I get off I'm going to pick up my house. I leave work, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, get to my car, call my fiancee, tell him I'm on the way to pick it up at the branch on the card. He asks for the name of the branch, he googles it, but I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going so I only half listen. When I repeat the address I see in teeny tiny print that they are only open til 4:30. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Crap.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">It's 4:40</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Reluctantly I forge ahead hoping that maybe someone will take pity on me and still let me in. I drive to the main branch. It's still open! I go in, wait in line, only to hear "this isn't the right building, go two blocks down, take a left..." </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I stop listening. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I eventually leave, completely dejected and drive home. I wrestle with asking the mailman to redeliver it. It is 90 degrees this week and the thought of leaving a plexiglass house on the porch in the heat is not appealing. On the other hand, I know I have no shot of being out of the office and to this branch, that might as well be in Russia, by 4:30. I resign myself to the fact that I will have to have it redelivered. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I start to fill in the form, which is a cross between swearing on a Bible and retaking the SAT, so that my house will finally be here waiting for me, and it says since my signature is required I have to pick it up in person. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Meaning I wait until Saturday. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I'm trading the Jetta in for a DeLorean.

The company I work for had us all do this personality test to see what color we were today. Orange people are fearless risk-takers. I wouldn't know though, I'm a gold, for whatever that's worth. Guess I'm letting my inner orange out. Or maybe I was just able to lay my hands on a lot of orange accessories today. <br /></div></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3yrPSwkYtBM/ShILHvHmZEI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/7_9jUMIkaNE/s1600-h/DSC02075.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3yrPSwkYtBM/ShILHvHmZEI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/7_9jUMIkaNE/s320/DSC02075.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337340735922791490" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3yrPSwkYtBM/ShILHRzzrPI/AAAAAAAAAJw/qiax1sDgDRc/s1600-h/DSC02071.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3yrPSwkYtBM/ShILHRzzrPI/AAAAAAAAAJw/qiax1sDgDRc/s320/DSC02071.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337340728055147762" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3yrPSwkYtBM/ShILHArydGI/AAAAAAAAAJo/Y73HdBnvoEE/s320/DSC02069.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337340723458110562" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Listening to: Kings of Leon - Only By The Night<br /></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Since I always seem to listen to music while I set up scenes I thought it might be cool to add that too.
