It was really sweet of you to go to the trouble to send them..... and as you can see... they fit right in! I still might try to use some of the beads in the Tree House... but we will have to see! As for how many more floors.... at the Moment the list is three more levels.... I can imagine it might end up having four more...

(I wouldn't want them to be any other way!:)) I think Andy's beads are Beautiful... but I am having a hard time imagining "breaking up the set"....! As for the Rat Mansion.... the hardest part is that I wasn't looking for it... and had no plans for so many Rat Houses.... and yet... there it was... Irresistible... and not even expensive! I could Not resist... So I am doomed.... there will be a whole village before I know it!

I always seem to have a "mood" or an Image I am trying to create... and they are usually complicated and not something you can buy... like the Chapel murals in the Castle! I just assume that "Someday" I will complete most of them... and meanwhile it's just plain Fun to keep building!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-57671851579647826112013-07-18T19:31:34.097-04:002013-07-18T19:31:34.097-04:00Thank you, Ewa!

But well worth it as they do look stunning on the mantle piece! The kettle looks sweet on the stove too. I am sure you will find a use for the card and that no scraps will be wasted! ;o)<br /><br />The bird house is very much a 'des-res!' No wonder Samuel has his eye on it! The lighting looks good in the bedroom too. I like the little turret, it will look great when fixed into position. How many more floors will be going inside the tree house?<br /><br />Hugs<br />Andy xxxxAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064247140624108019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-900983629751551922013-07-11T09:50:38.254-04:002013-07-11T09:50:38.254-04:00What a great blog!

How sweet of Andy to send you those beautiful beads and the kettle, I had a little surprise in the mail from Andy too and I intend to post about it in the next few days. You certainly have been busy, the ceiling is stunning, I so amazed by you beautiful work, it really is the most divine room.<br /><br />ML Fi XXFi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-49992356898600340022013-07-10T17:34:56.111-04:002013-07-10T17:34:56.111-04:00Wow!

Reading you posts is always like a five-minute-vacation to me... it's interesting, educational, inspiring, a feat for the eye - and above all always fun. Andy's beads look perfect on the mantlepiece but I think the little folk would find ways how to use them as well - as Sans! already said... good for storing umbrellas and walking sticks. Maybe you should compromise - two for the Folly and one for the tree house... ;O) That turret is such a stunning addition to your gorgeous tree house, in a way this reminds me of castle Neuschwanstein... But maybe the best thing I've seen today is that incredible find - the beautiful birdhouse... Did I say birdhouse... not much longer, it's going to become the most stunnig of all rat mansions! <br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-61535770573126552752013-07-09T11:54:46.819-04:002013-07-09T11:54:46.819-04:00The beads are beautiful and complement your decor....The beads are beautiful and complement your decor.
