Mr. BTEG went out the Saturday before Palm Sunday to get an Easter basket and fillings for our two-year-old great niece. He also picked up a few small Easter gifts for our daughter and me. Mine included two mini balls, one from the Miniverse Books Series 2, and one from the Make It Mini Hello Kitty collection. I was very thankful that all three of the books that I received were ones that I like. I posed the books with mini American Girl Caroline, as I thought she was the closest to a reasonable scale. She was the easiest mini AG to get to, but then I realized it was perfect for her, as Sense and Sensibility would have been published in her childhood. I also got the candlestick, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and a Hardy Boys book.
You can't tell which member of the Hello Kitty family you get until you open the ball, but Cinnamoroll is one of the ones that I like. This set seems to work well with the 8" Eden Madeline. You get a notebook to put together with included tabs and pages, a pencil case, a pen and ruler in plastic and cardboard packaging, and a cutting mat. The ball it came in can be used for display if you have the ball open. It's also cute with it closed.
These pictures are so poorly lit because I can't get to my photography table very easily right now, so I took them on my new craft table instead. I've mentioned before that Mr. BTEG and I have been rearranging rooms since our youngest daughter moved out. The master bedroom is becoming my computer/doll/photography/sewing/craft/art room. We finally moved our bed to the much smaller bedroom. Now I have to get the big bedroom organized, and move a few things left in the small bedroom to my craft/doll room. Here's a picture of my new computer and craft table set up, with my new doll display bookcases in between.
I'm also announcing that I'm thinking about moving this blog to Substack. I won't charge a subscription; I just want to get off of Blogger. There's someone with an actual Blogger account who is spamming my comments every few days, and I can't figure out to block or report this person, nor can I get the attention of anyone at Blogger. I've tried WordPress in the past and it's not easy for me to figure out how everything works. I'll make an announcement here and post a link if I do make the move.
I love the minis. I'm excited for the Miniverse record player and records to come out! I feel your pain about the comment spammers. I keep getting businesses from roofers to who knows what trying to leave links to their site in my comments. I just delete them.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I didn't know Miniverse was getting a record player and records! I hope they have some classics in there. I know spam is just one of those things like death and taxes, but I'm frustrated that this person with a Blogger account is spamming me and I can't even get an AI account to talk to me at Blogger.
DeleteYeah, I love the spam messages. My blog is so obviously a doll blog, and these idiots leave links to roofers, to RC car sites, to quack doctors who can supposedly cure incurable venereal diseases. That last category would be funny if the bots weren't so cotton-pickin' obnoxious. Keep deleting them, is all I can say. I love your minis; they'd look good in a dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteYeah, spam is an old and recurring problem. I just wish I could get a hold of anyone at Blogger. It feels like they've dropped customer service for us. I love the minis, and I'm glad I have dolls that scale with them. Caroline is a bit young for Sense and Sensibility, but I have a Ruthie who could read The Hardy Boys.
