*trows mobile phone away and grabs the photo camera* I have tried over 10 times to film a decent, well English spoken (it is not my native language) not to shaken film for this blog. To show you all my new Hobbyroom. But my mobile phone and some uploading sites (including this blogs uploading capacity) prevents me to even upload a decent film... So, instead of me talking and moving and showing the room in upper detail, I have taken some photos to show you this room. I really hope the photos can translate the model animals and the atmosphere that is in here. I shall try to describe every photo with as much info, as I can possibly add to it without being it too long and boring to read. So lets begin! The first things you will see when you enter my room and you turn to the left, are two white Lidl cabinets and two shelves on the wall. In the first Lidl cabinet you can see my predators (Not all of them, as my bears, small predators like otters and weasels, and my dolphins and whales are in the big white cabinet I will show you later.) The second Lidl cabinet is filled with birds, reptiles, amphibians, spiders and fishes. On top of the Lidle cabinets are my Dinosaurs and my bigger animals like the Safari LTD Vanishing Wild animals and Wildlife Wonders coyote, Papo big wolf and the Invicta blue whale. The first shelf on the wall contains my Border Collie collection and the second, most upper shelf, contains my bigger animals like AAA and ELC. I did not collect the AAA and ELC animals as much in the past as I do now. All because of me lacking the space to display them in a proper manor. This is the part in de middle of the room. Looks a bit messy, I know. The room is almost finished, but I still have to find some places to store and to display things. But after this was taken, I already cleaned up the chair and the books on the ground XD (Chii, our female cat, is lying on the chair the moment I type this <3) LOVE my feather curtains <3 It gives the room a certain light but natural feel to it. Behind the chair, is my book corner. I will share this when it is completely finished. This is the other side of the room. My desk with my computer and some other things. It is also my place when I work on crafty things. Above my desk you can see my main white cabinet. Handmade by Tijn and me. It displays all my other animals that I own. Every section has his won habitat/theme. And this is the other half of my desk and my white cabinet. In the corner you can see a cabinet filled with plush animals. Hanging on the wall there is a deer plate. And on the ground you can see a little plush kitty. This was a overall view of my Hobbyroom. Lets continue with some close up photos of the cabinets and shelves and all the animal in/on them <3 I try to give a short description with every photo. Left cabinet contains, from top to bottom: Seals/sea lions/walruses, house dogs, bigger canines, smaller canines, house cats, lions, jaguars/leopards/cheetahs, snow leopards/cougars/clouded leopards/lynxes/bobcats/servals/caracals/Irriomote cats, tigers. Right cabinet contains, from top to bottom: Sharks/rays, fishes/spiders/amphibians, turtles/tortoises/snakes, crocodiles/gavials/alligators, lizards/crocodiles/alligators/geckos, waterfowl/penguins, chickens and other poultry/pigeons, flightless birds/storks/flamingos/herons/shore and sea birds, garden/native birds, birds of prey. Some closeup photos of the shelves: Above the two Lidl cabinets are my Border Collie collection and on an other shelf above them are my AAA and ELC animals. I only got some close ups of my Border Collie collection, as I am not content with the arrangement of the AAA/ELC animals. Have to rearrange them in order to make some good photos. Next is my big white main cabinet. I let the first photos do the talking, they are a broader view of the whole cabinet. After those there will be some close ups of al the different sections with their animals in it. I will give a short description of the theme and animals in each section. Forests Animals Deer, bears, bats, wolverines, hares and rabbits, badgers, weasels, otters, skunks, raccoons, mice, marmots, boars, ibexes, mouflons etc. Smaller whales and dolphins (My bigger whales and dolphins are on top on the length of the cabinet.) Orcas, humpback whales, white sided dolphins, belugas, bottlenose dolphins, blue whales, sperm whales, commerson's dolphins, porpoises, etc. African Animals Elephants, zebras, rhinos, hippos, buffalo, giraffes, oryxes, gazelles, meerkats, anteaters etc. Farm Animals and some Fantasy Cows, sheep, goats, rabbits, people, pigs, llamas, etc. Special Animals Made by Horse and Bird and Noémi D. Soós Creations. Horses! Rain forest Animals Okapis, elephants, tapirs, gorillas, orangutans, bats, tamanduas, etc. Arctic and Desert Animals Kangaroos, platypuses, polar bears, gerbils, dromedary, etc. And these are all my stuffed animals. This cabinet, also handmade, originally was my bookcase. But now my books have and other place to stand, so I though this would be a good cabinet for all my beloved stuffed animals who have been stored in a box for so long. Many of them I already had when I was a child, so they are precious to me <3 So this is it! I really hope you enjoyed watching all the photos, instead of a video.

Lets see. My birthday was last week, my hobbyroom is 99% finished and I got a lot of new additions! So lets begin with my hobbyroom. Now, I can't tell you much about how it looks and I don't have any photos (yet) to show here. Reason why, is because Julie is coming over this weekend and I want it to be a surprise XD So photos, and maybe even a video, coming up next week! I can tell you that the animals are doing fine. No broken ones, as I was really careful with them during the whole move! Such a nerveracking experience with over 850 animal to move o.0 They all have their own place to stand now, so that part is done a 100%. The third of November is my birthday. The day before we went to a restaurant with some family. I got some presents there and the food was delicious :3 The day of my birthday was quiet, not a problem as I could spend some time in my hobbyroom then. Saturday a friend came by and spend the evening here :3 Before all of my birthday presents, Tijn and I went to an local antique store. I never ever have been there before, first time! The things in there made me drool so bad XD But I had to contain myself, because the prices where high. But when I saw this beauty, I had to have him! But Tijn was first and bought it as a BD present <3 The friend on Saturday also bought some presents for me. I love presents :3 And she has a good taste, let me tell you that! She knows me good ans therefor the presents where spot on <3 I got a TY black cat named Shadow with a pumpkin, Halloween kitty! A Pusheen stationary set <3 And a National Geographic photo book form a series. I have now two books from that series <3 Thank you sweets <3 Julie also had sent a wonderful package my way and it arrived on my BD. Again, she knows stuff that I like or that I can use in other hobby projects as well <3 Shall show the animals one by one, as they are really great. Especially one figure, who made my heart stopped for a moment when I unwrapped it. She misses it already. (I take good care of it, I promise!) But she found it would be better suited in my collection. You are such a sweetheart!! <3 This package also contained two pluches, a McDonald snow leopard and a WNF monkey. A very nice owl card for on my pin board. A leaf apron that I can use for hobby projects and a bag of small whale erasers (I love me some small and cute animal erasers <3) And look at the Border Collie card! Thank you Julie!! Lets begin with the biggest treasure out of the package; the Invicta blue whale. The company made a line of Dinosaurs for a British Museum. But also made this blue whale for the same line. Some models are painted, others are not. I got the unpainted version and I LOVE it! Classic solid whale figure. <3 Next one is a Schleich! One of their full breed cats, they made a series of full breed cats back in 1997. It is the white lying Persian kitty <3 Now I have 4 cats from that series. Not collecting them all, just the ones I really like. Now my Papo Persian has a friend :3 Bullyland is not a brand that I have many from in my collection. But sometimes there are some cute animals that I can't say no to. That goes for this little black sheep. Love the horns and the details in the wool. (No, you don't see a little pink piece of sponge near his behind from cleaning him, that I forgot to take of during the photo-shoot :')) My reptile shelf got a new addition with this Safari LTD alligator. Never expected it to be so good. So I was very happy to hold him in my own hands and see what beauty it is. Love the golden eyes and the colors of his scales. Also his striking pose fits this model very well. Chap Mei made some really awesome play sets with wild life and dinosaurs. (Still need to adjust my WL on STS with some Chap Mei figures.) And recently some dinosaurs made it into my collection. (For the ones not knowing me, I can be very picky with my animals... very picky.) So I was very happy to see an other Chap Mei dinosaur in this package. Triceratops are one of my favorite dinosaurs, so that is an extra win! <3 Giggled when I saw this little fur seal from Yowies as I did not knew it was a real puzzle animal. Little harder to set than Kaiyodo ones, but when finally assembles, it looks very cute!It can rotate his head, and by doing so his from flippers move along XD He is standing on my desk, watching over my pens ans such. The last one from this package is a very cute little tiger with no brand known. I think I will repaint it, although I really like it as it is now. So that was all that was in the package <3 Julie is a great fan of small and cute animals and slowly but surely she gets me over the line of also collecting those cute little figures, like Fereno Natoons and others. So I am planning to search for a small cabinet with lots of places to put all the cute and cartoon like critters in. So that my big collection stays realistic, but still can collect cuties like Ferero Natoons and Animals In My Pocket. Many new AAA animals have arrived! So many that I seriously don't have the energy nor the inspiration to talk about them all individually. These many AAA additions come from several big packages bought on Marktplaats from 3 or 4 different sellers. People who just bulk up a big lot of plastic animals and sell then all at once. Leaving me with choosing out the ones I want to keep and sell the rest again when the packages arrives. It is a lot of fun to buy such a big plastic animal lot and see what they are when they arrive. Most of the time I can see a few interesting animals that makes the lot worth a buy, on the photos on Marktplaats the sellers use to advertise the plastic animal lots. But some photos are blurry or taken from to far away to clearly see what the content is. So it is a bit of a surprise for me to open up such a package. Not only did I found many good AAA animals, also a PV jaguar, two Chap Mei dinosaurs, a Safari LTD cobra and sheep, four small dinosaurs on a base from Sega Sunrise (Dinosaur King) and a random Triceratops skeleton. I even found a very old Schleich cat in one of the big lots <3 Store bought and some internet findings now: I also found some other interesting animals during trips to second hand shops and searching online. First one is a cute little Bullyland brown chicken on a nest with some eggs. I love the scenery and decided to take it home with me. On Marktplaats I saw the old Papo deer family! Could not resist the temptation and bought the three deer. The stag has such a proud and majestic appearance and the female and fawn look like twins. Now they are one of the biggest deer I have in my collection <3 In a nice toyshop in Heerenveen I found a very cute little AAA dinosaur. This little one was the only one of its kind left in the box. His little open mouth made a sound in my head, little cute screaks. I felt so sorry for it (Yeah, i am weird like that...) and picked it up. Did not matter if it had a brand or not, this one was coming home with me. Such a cute little AAA dinosaur <3 Facebook has many opportunities for collectors. Groups, posts, likes, adding photos, posting links to this blog, etc. I am a member of several groups for collectors. But also for trading and selling random stuff in your own city kind of groups. I got an idea to post a search post on one of those groups, and I got lucky with a trade! A nice girl had some model horses that she did not collect, she wanted to trade them for some paprika ships. It was a deal! I got three horses, I kept one and took the other two for trading purposes. The one I kept is a very beautiful Papo lying horse <3 I a nice toyshop in Groningen I found two Papo models. One was the ring-tailed lemur with baby on back. Gosh, wat a cute pair! I always enjoy watching ring-tailed lemurs and their offspring when I am in zoos where they have them running loose in their enclosures. Papo did a very good job on this one <3 The second one was a Papo roaring lion. Now I already have this model on my shelf, but this one was different. It looked darker and had other details and such. So I took the gamble and bought it. When I was home, I immediately took it to my collection to compare the two with each other. And the new one was different, and how! It had indeed a darker skin and mane color and it had some changes in his face and tail position. I am very happy that I bought him, as store bought variations are hard to find. Last additions for this blog entry! Recently there is a new store in Groningen called: Terrarium Imaginarium. It has many insects, stones and minerals, old scientific plates, shells, everything taxidermy and curiosity actually. I really wanted to go there, but the first time I went it was closed. Luckily the second time it was open and I got all 'ooh' and 'aah' in that store XD I did not left empty handed of course... Got the fantastic anatomical model of an orca (I already had the dolphin from the same series.) and I got an fantastic book about Albertus Seba and his curiosa cabinet of natural history and taxidermy <3
Lets begin with the trade, shall we? How many times I already trade with Sauroid? Eehm, I really don't know anymore XD But our trades are becoming a certainty nowadays and I really like that. Next to Brett, Sauroid is a big deliverer of Japanese models for my collection. And he is a good friend, which makes trading also a lot more fun of course! I am behind showing them, so here are the animals I got in the resent trade. We begin with some very rare Yujin turtles and tortoises! They are little, detailed beauties and I am very happy to have them in my collection! Next are some Kaiyodo animals and a Colorata shark. I got two more Coloratas in the trade, but they are getting a loving new home with Julie in the next couple of weeks. (Just like some of the small, no brand zoo animals I also got in this trade.) I love the variety in the animals I got in this trade <3 Love me some birds! Especially from the parakeet, cockatoo and parrot species. Look how colorful these three are. Amazing colors and details on such small birds. Happy Bird Bunch <3 My very first nautilus in my collection! Gosh, I wish I could see this ancient animal in real some day. But for now, I have a small replica to admire <3 From one of the Kaiyodo bottle cap Aquarium series. Hope to have more models of this beautiful animal one day! Last model from this trade is one that I am so in love with! Her face, the colors/pattern, the pose, everything is just perfect. I am more of a feline lover, but this husky made my heart melt <3 ~Thank you so much for this trade Sauroid!~ Big MPV haul, Wish List animals from 2016! Almost every year I save a little bit of money to buy one big animal group from Modellpferdeversand. Most of these animals are on my WL for that year, this time there where mostly from 2016. Got 3 major brands, Papo, CollectA and Safari LTD. And about 21 animals or so. Got photos from all of them, so that quite a lot XD Shall do a quick review on them all, just because they deserve it. Lets begin with the Papo animals! First animal I start this haul with is a big one! Papo has launched a new series called Large Animals and there are just a few to start with; Two tigers (normal color and a white one) an elephant, an lion and this one; a wolf! Now I am so happy that they choose to gave this model some color. As the smaller version is the arctic wolf and is all white, with some shades hare and there of course. Would be a lazy choice imho to let this big fella be all white. I am in love and could not have hoped for more <3 From one amazing animal to the next one; the upright standing tiger! I have no words for it as I unpacked him from the box. He is incredible! Now Papo already has a great tiger family with a mother suckling her cubs, to a protecting father and older cubs in between. But don't you dare think 'it is just an other tiger again then', oh no, not at all! Not only the pose makes it worth buying this big cat, but also the details, paintwork and the ability to create so many play scenarios with it. (For the record, I do not play with my animal XD) Tigers do fight with each other and they can stand on their hind paws/feet to look more impressive to their opponent (mostly males). And so can this impressive big cat! More cats! Only this time three small house cats. They are the new Persian, Russian blue and a new color variation of the red tabby cat with his tail up. Now I love the fact that Papo makes different cat breeds, starting with the Siamese cat last year. I really love the Persian, with his flatted face and his ears a bit flat it makes him look a bit grumpy, which imho suites this Persian very well. The Russian blue has a great pose and I like the face and color also. The color variation cat makes my Papo cats 'with tail up' an 'official' conga line of three now. From felines up to some canines. First one is the Australian Shepherd. I am a little bit disappointed about this one. He does not really represent the breed as much as I had hoped he would. He lacks a lot of fluff in my opinion. Although AS can be very athletic and are uses in many dog sports, most AS have more body as hair than this one does. Nevertheless, the colors/pattern is great and I love the sweet face. Although the tongue is way to large to fit in this dogs mouth. A wild canine this time and I am so happy to have this little fella now! The Arctic fox! He looks so good, love the blue/gray hue he has as a kind of shadow I guess? He fits the style of Papo so well! And together with his big cousin the Arctic wolf, he is a must have for every canine lover out there <3 We stay with Papo for the next two animals. Papo has a very good range of animals this year. Hope they preform just as good in 2017. This bird would not win a beauty pageant in the bird section, but I am very happy to have one in my collection now; The Marabou stork! Long legs are always a bit of a trouble maker for many model animal brands, but with a good base (or in some cases bigger legs) a bird can stand just fine. And this one does <3 He is resting and has a sturdy pose. Love the head and neck, skin toned parts are hard to make looking natural. But Papo scored big points on this one. Last Papo animal! Oh dear, it is a deer! Not that I don't have any in my collection already... *hides* This male white tailed deer is just beautiful! Love the pose, colors, face, everything! (Although the hooves could be painted more carefully.) I can see him as a very sturdy male trotting through the high grass, looking for rivals or females. A real nice forest animal, that makes my deer group count at one more. So these where the Papos in my MPV haul, next we have Safari! I got two animals that where not new for 2016. But they still where on my WL, so I bought them also. We begin with two felines and I have to be sure to get the right name with the right animal. Because they are the new 2016 Canadian lynx and the older Bobcat. Both very nice, small wild cats. Safari style fits very well with these animals. Look at the fluffy, big soft paws of the Canadian lynx <3 I also got a big animal from Safari. a Wildlife Wonders coyote. I really love his eyes, they really speak. Moving pose and fur are wonderful too. Wish I could own more form this series. Luckily for me, I have extra room when my new Hobbyroom will be finished. (Getting closer and closer in actually finishing my Hobbyroom every week!) he is not as big as the Papo wolf, but a nice size nonetheless. Very happy to have him in my collection now <3 I keep adding the same sort/species in my collection... An other deer! A male red deer. I keep buying all the deer, because they make then so good! He has a typical Safari face, with clearly visible lines and colors. Really like the hind legs, as he is standing proudly. I have no other deer from Safari, so he is the only one of his kind in my collection right now. He has some competition from the Schleich red deer male, but this one is slightly bigger, so that would not be any problem for this guy. Marsupial time! A wallaby has entered my collection thanks to Safari. It has a typical standing pose and the colors are very well chosen. Really like the little markings it has on his face. A welcome diversity to the many kangaroos many brands already have made. That was the last one from Safari, next are my new CollectA animals! CollectA has a high mark on the more unusual species, as also in 2016. Very pleased by all the new animals they have made, but could only choose so many as my collection could bare. Lets begin with an sea mammal, a Blainville's Beaked whale. I flipped when I saw the announcement on STS and I knew I wanted this one in my collection from the moment I saw him. I don't have many cetaceans from CollectA, but this one is an absolute must have! The white specks, the colors, the face, everything is perfect. It has a slight bend in this tail fluke, which is suppose to be so, to make the pose a bit more interesting. <3 The thylacine from Mojo got a mate and a pup all at once! CollectA made a Thylacine with a pup in her pouch, you can see her cute tail sticking out <3 The open mouth gives this extinct animal just the right feeling of being alive one more time. Such a shame that this beautiful predator is gone from our planted for good. Luckily we have one more model from this animal that we can behold and share. CollectA is an outstanding brand know for their rare species and antelopes. We already have an adult Giant Eland male, but now we have a calf who joins his side. (CollectA has an tendency to make all their animals males...) They choose for an older calf, who has already has some horns forming. Cute little fella, who fits the adult perfectly. Now we all hope for more young antelopes, maybe in 2017? A Thar! A what now? Exactly my thought when I saw this new animal from CollectA. I did some Googling (Wikipedia to be precise.) and was amazed about the fact how little is know about this Himalayan Thar goat. The males are stunning, with their big 'mane' like hairdo. CollectA did an awesome job on this fact and gave the Thar a color scheme to dream about <3 The brown hues just go along the body so nicely. The great face, the horns and the rest of his goat like body makes this Himalayan Thar a welcome new addition to my collection <3 Sometimes you have an specie that you never could have guessed to be ever in you collection one day. I have several of them and one of them is a shoebill stork. These weird looking birds are awesome and so misunderstood. But this year has to be the year of the shoebill! As not one, not two but three specimen entered my collection. Two are from Kaiyodo and one is from CollectA. The CollectA one is much bigger that the ones from Kaiyodo, but I really don't mind as I do not collect trough scales. This bird has so much details, it is amazing! He stands perfectly and he has a real shoebill appearance, that look in his eyes. Next one is one big bird, it is a wild turkey male. The details are stunning and I love the metallic shine his feathers have. The only minus are the feet, who are somewhat strangely placed underneath the bird. They don't carry the bird, as he is 'standing' on the feathers of his wings. Clever idea but it makes his feet almost unnecessary. Nonetheless it is a very impressive bird! Almost finished with this long haul, if you are still reading this blog, good job! XD Two animals to go and they are two beautiful animals to end a blog with. A Nilgai is also an animal that I never have considered to be in my collection one day. But this beautiful male Nilgai is standing proudly between other residential rain forest animals. Very nice looking antelope with nice little detail. (Mine has one bad left eye though XD) And we finish with an animal that most collectors went almost crazy about, a Grevy zebra! Zebras have a lot of stripes and most brands do tent to do a good job on them. But if you look closely there are some mistakes or the stripes are literally carved in the mold. This looks so unreal, but the Grevy zebra from CollectA has nothing to worry about as his stripes are perfect! His walking pose makes it ideal for outdoor photos. I am in love with this model, such a beauty to look at. Great job CollectA! <3 This is the last animal from this very, long blog. But not the end to many new additions that are waiting to be photographed and placed here! I also am still working on my new hobby room, which is almost finished. I keep you all updated on the progress of course!
So many new additions! My head is exploding right now, as I have too many new additions that I have to show here. Last two weeks have been filled with flea markets and secondhand shop additions and today a major package from Modellpferdeversand and a trade from STS came in! I have over 40 new animals that I have to show here o.0 Of course I am all excited and very, very happy with all of them <3 Some are for repaint purposes (some of the flea market and secondhand shop findings) and some will find a new home eventually. But most of them are for my own collection. And, I have a big announcement to make, regarding my collection. I will be getting my own hobby room! We are renovating our upper floor, creating new rooms, renewing floors and sealing and such. A few days ago, my boyfriend and his father where working on one of the rooms, as I came in to check on them if they needed some drinks or materials. I jokingly said when looking trough the room: my new hobby room looks great already. This indeed was a joke, as we had other purposes for the room already; building new clothing closets and hang laundry there. But my boyfriend took it seriously and said; yeah, this could be your hobby room if you want. I was like; wait, whut? o.0 He then kept explaining where everything could be and how we could build clothing closets to the wall where my collection is currently standing. Everything just felt right and in place. So I will be moving my collection to its own room soon, as it is not done yet. So we both have our own room. But Tijn has to share his with two closets and some occasional laundry XD Lets get back to my new additions. I will be showing my flea markets and secondhand shop additions first, as I already made photos of them. And the next blog entry shall be about the big package from MPV and the trade from STS. In a local secondhand shop I found this curious looking Puffin puzzle bird! It grabbed my attention the moment I saw him standing on one of the toy shelves. It looked a lot like a Japanese puzzle animal from Kaiyodo or such, but is was not marked at all. Made a 'what is the brand' topic on STS and a fellow member knew it was from a brand called Riccolino, a Mexican candy brand. It was a little toy for inside a chocolate surprise egg! Digging trough the internet I found out that there are several different sets. The ones I came across are; Dogs, Dinosaurs, Sea Life, Wild Life and a Bird set. The Puffin is from the Birds set. I have the sweetest boyfriend on this planet! <3 Let me explain. I came across a Safari VW howling wolf on Etsy. Great find, not expensive and in a very good condition. Only problem was, I have no idea how to order from Etsy. Main reason why I have not ordered there yet, otherwise, I would be broke in a second XD What are the shipping costs, how to pay, how to contact the seller, etc, etc. I am such a big derp when it comes to ordering from sites and I let my boyfriend handle most of the things haha. So I asked him to look at the wolf with me to figure things out, as he also did not order from Etsy before. The not expensive wolf became a bit more expensive when we saw the shipping costs. Total price was till payable and way lower than any e-Bay listing I have ever seen for a Safari VW wolf, but it still put me of to buy the animal. After I left the room, Tijn secretly bought the wolf! Few days later a package arrived with his name on it, but I had to open it... I could not believe my eyes, it was the wolf! So darn happy with it. Tijn gave it the name Moon-Moon :3 Next is a group of animals that I found in a indoor flea market, that is on a Sunday every other week. Lots of people, mosty the same people as always, but some where new. One of the stands I always go to is a from a couple that sells a LOT of Schleich. They collect them as well as selling them. Always a joy to look around their stand and looking into the 'not Schleich' baskets in front of the stand. I grabbed the Procon zebra and the Mojo Fun hyena. I talked about the new 2017 Schleich with them, always fun to talk to other fellow collectors! The rest of the animals I found in a huge plastic box filled with plastic animals. You just have to peek in it, and then trow everything out and sort them on the rug XD It was allowed by the seller of course. After sorting trough a lot of animals, I found some interesting ones. Some will go to new homes, some are for repaint purposes and some are going in my collection. I love finding boxes like that <3 Also on a weekend we went with my parents-in-law to a outdoor flea market and there I got the catch of the week! In the corner of my eye I saw a rug, filled half with model animals. I walked straight to it, did not care that I walked in a wrong direction XD I could not believe my eyes as a saw many, many AAA and ELC animals lying there. I went on my knees to look more closely and was already grabbing some animals that I defiantly wanted. At this point the rest of the group was standing right behind me and Tijn and his mother almost yelled at me to grab this one animal or the other one. As they knew that these animals are a small jackpot for me. But first, asking the prices! Important to never get your hands full, before asking the price first. As some sellers sees your enthusiasm as a reason to make the prices higher. 1 euro for the bigger ones and 50 euro cents for the smaller one. Okay! Then I went nuts XD And after I was done picking and choosing my animals, later when I was home I still had some regrets of not choosing some more animals (as I did not take some AAA small dogs for example). But I am very happy with the ones I picked anyway. <3 We end this blog with some cute Safari Good Luck Mini's. I was shopping with Tijn in Groningen last week and visited my favorite toy shop there; www.asbran.nl They have some Papo and Schleich and a basked filled with Safari Good Luck Mini's. This time they had some new ones! I don't really collect those mini animals. But as some of you know, I am a sucker for miniature things. So some had to come home with me of course! I even went back to the store after a nice restaurant diner and bought a mini frog for Julie, as she though is was very awesome. And could not leave with an GLM for me as well XD
