It's not quite the wardrobe to Narnia...

... but boy is it close!

I CANNOT sing high enough praises for the work of Tony at

Miniature Treasures

He works mainly in 1/12th scale... but I asked him if he'd be willing
to make me a 1/6th scale wand cabinet for
the Majokko Shop, and he agreed...

and this is the beautiful piece he created:

It is made from antique English Walnut timber which was originally
part of a Victorian writing slope that was broken and beyond repair
so the cabinet is made of solid walnut dating from around 1880.

 

 

Ella decided to do a little modeling for me. :)

Inside there are 3 wands!

Two of them have Cornish Quartz topping them, the third has an Amethyst sphere.

Two are made of wood, one of bone (I'm sorry, I need a better pic of the one made of bone)

They are ALL beautiful.

(The wands are out of order... the Bone one should be on the bottom, and the crooked wooden one should be in the middle... I'm sorry Tony, I FAILED! *weep*)

Each wand has a painting behind it that correlates to the type of wand it is.

The corners are embellished with Paula Shell, which is very beautiful!

The bottom drawer is functioning and an excellent spot for storage!

In the center is a genuine carved Victorian cameo that was once part of a piece of mourning jewelry... this piece fascinates me endlessly.

This is by far, the coolest doll thing I own.

Tony is a master.

This piece is beautiful and filled with history.

THANK YOU, TONY!

... and anyone who hasn't clicked that link I posted at the top to check out Tony's work by now... 

DO IT!

Seriously, his site is a feast for the eyes!

Miki... NOOOOOO!!!!!

Why, Miki... Why???? T_T

Whatever DID happen on Squeak's birthday?

Well, Squeak was going to celebrate with Ella... but when the time came, she was nowhere to be found... whatever DID happen to Squeak??

Oooh! Shhh... let's not disturb her :)

Squeak now has several lovely diaries... but, the best part of her birthday, by far was the crayons that are JUST HER SIZE!!!

The two cute little crayon drawings came with the crayon set too!!!

They are made by Minnie Kitchen who has an awesome etsy site here:

MinnieKitchen on Etsy

and a really great blog here:

Minnie Kitchen's Blog

You should seriously look into purchasing from her! She was even nice enough to make 1/6th scale when I asked... since a lot of the stuff in her store is 1/12th and wouldn't work for Neemos!

I also got some...

from her!!! Or, I should say, Madoka got some Whoppers from her. LOL.

Thank you, so much, Minnie Kitchen!!!

These were the perfect presents for Squeak and I'm so glad you were willing to work with me to make them in the right size!!

Possibly the World's Silliest Tutorial : Piercing Pure Neemo Ears

Hello!!

I know that some of you might have been missing us Neemos!

Well, we're back!

... and can you believe, Heather has added more to the ranks!

There are new girls to introduce... but today,

I am pleased to give you...

the world's most useless tutorial!

I thought of it myself!

Alisa: Hi Everyone! Today I have a Tutorial for you!

Madoka: I wanna help!

Alisa: I'm going to show you how to pierce a Pure Neemo's ears!

Madoka: Oooh, pretty stars...

Madoka: I like stars! I volunteer!!!

Alisa: But Madoka, we already have a volunteer.

Anise: Hey *waves*

Madoka: Oh.

Alisa: First, you need a pencil!

Alisa: This is to mark the spot where the earring will go, like this:

Alisa: I like to use a mechanical pencil, because the lead tip is always very nice and pointy then. When you are done, you should have a small dot that looks like this:

Alisa: If you make the earring hole markings in pencil before making them with something sharp, you can make sure they are lined up properly.

Anise: Something sharp?

Alisa: Oh yes! We have to punch a hole in your head with something sharp and pointy!

For us Pure Neemos, a push pin will work JUST fine!

Anise: Is that sanitary??

Anise: I don't like this, maybe I'll let Madoka volunteer instead...

Alisa: Now now, too late for that! I've already drawn on your earring holes!

Madoka: No, it's ok! I will still do it!

Anise: Really, it's ok, she can do it!

Alisa: Stop being such a baby, this will only hurt for a second.

Anise: *mutters* Fine, fine, if you say so.

Alisa: There, see, all done!

Anise: AAAAAAAAAGH!

Madoka: I still woulda done it.

Anise: You cannot imagine how uncomfortable this is.

Alisa: But... in just a second, I will pull out the push pin and...

Alisa: Viola! A beautiful earring!!

Madoka: YAY!!!!!! Tutorial SUCCESS!!!

Now do me!

[The Toy Box] Blind Bag My Little Pony... not so blind!

Heyloo!

Madoka here, trying to invent new ways to say Hello! Hehe!

Today we talk about My Little Pony Blind Bag ponies... which are the perfect size for us Neemos. Not true 1/6th scale... but still fun to play with.

They come in these cute little bags that they call "Blind Bags" because you're not supposed to be able to tell what is in them...

But I know a secret...

 If you know where to look, you can tell which pony is in each bag! Let me show you...

On the back side of the package there is the long seam that runs the length of the packaging...

If you fold that up... on one of the ends... you can find a little imprinted number.
Every number corresponds with a specific pony!!
Numbers 22, 23 and 24 are the special sparkle ponies!!!

I really love mine!!!!

[The Toy Box] Mini Lalaloopsy Suzette La Sweet

Hi again!

 I don't know what I've done, but Heather has gotten me more toys!!!

Well, more dollies, to be exact.

She saw how much I liked the other Lalaloopsy, and went and got me more!

This time she got me

Suzette La Sweet

who is just the most adorable little Lalaloopsy ever! Let's take a closer look!

Her little pink puppy is just so cute, and her pudding is PERFECTLY sized for us Pure Neemos...it's like she wants to share with us!!

Her cake and fan are adorable as well... a little small for Pure Neemo scale, but still workable... but the detail on the cake is really great!

Suzette La Sweet is one of the cutest LalaLoopsy I've ever seen... look at her pink frilly dress with the elbow length sleeves and ruffles, look at the ruffled socks and the pretty light blue shoes with pink bows... and her lovely white hair with pink ribbons!!! She's just so elegant!

Finally, there is the back of her box... how lovely is that landscape?? Wouldn't anyone like to live there?! I think I love the candy in the glass jars the best! I hope I have candy like that someday!!!

Thanks for checking in!

[The Toy Box] Toffee Cocoa Cuddles Lalaloopsy

Hi all! It's me, Madoka!

Today we're going to look at:

Toffee Cocoa Cuddles Mini Lalaloopsy

Heather said she saw this and thought I might like it.

SHE WAS RIGHT!!!

I love having a little ragdoll of my own!

Of course, these guys kind of remind me of Coraline... which is kind of scary... but Heather assures me that no one is after my soul... at least not anymore.

I don't know what she means by that "not anymore" bit, but either way, it's good to know.

Anyhow, Heather says they usually come out with special holiday Lalaloopsys at Target... but there wasn't one for Valentines Day, so she thinks this was their answer to Valentines Day... it just wasn't Target exclusive. Let's get a closer look at her, shall we?

 I really like her accessories!

Most of it is too small to be in scale with me (1/6 scale) but the chocolates could work nicely for a box of chocolates for a Pure Neemo!

I also really love the rest of her accessories... the little mailbox, flowers and puppy are SO cute... and very pink, which is one of my favorite colors!!

I never understand why they give Mini Lalaloopsy things to hold... when they have no way to hold them???

The back of her box is also awesome... and the boxes can be made into little mini dollhouses for the Lalaloopsy girls!

It kind of looks like the house the witch from Hansel and Gretel would have. I'm really scared of witches... even though I know some very nice ones now... they still scare me.

 Then there is the girl herself!

I love how she is pink with brown accents... you know I love anyone with pink hair... and she even has hers up in little pigtails, just like me! I wish I had a dress as cute as hers!

Anyhow, she's the only Lalaloopsy I have with eyes that aren't black... so that makes her special to me... plus I like how her dress looks like a cupcake, and how she has ribbons in her hair, because I have ribbons for my hair too... but it makes me sad to wear them and I don't know why.

I hope her ribbons don't make her sad too!
