My daytrip to Nieuwpoort / MINIATURENFESTIVAL

by Robort Boonen, Oostende

 

Yesterday I have done a daytrip to Nieuwpoort (Belgium).

I went to the Miniaturenfestival organised by Sofie Gonissen which is held every 2 years in the stadshalle (townhall).

 

There were about 50 miniatures in 1/12, 1/24, 1/50.

I bought also some little miniatures in Sofie's shop "The Small World" for my projects.

Lots of  holiday greetings from Bredene - from the Belgium seaside.

 

Today it is not so hot and I have time for my blog

(sorry for not blogging such a long time).

I found all these plastic dollshouse furniture and

little plastic/wooden pieces (game boards)

in a charity shop.

I paid only 1 Euro!!!!

They are perfect for my toy shop.

 

Have a nice day

I went also to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

I really like the old pottery, paintings.......

 

but for me as a dollshouse fan was

the gallery "Birmingham, its people, its history

the best with lots of old toys!

It was only 500 m from  my hotel (I stayed in the

Ibis Budget Hotel in the centre of Birmingham).

I can really recommend you the museum....perfect if you are interested

in victorian / edwardian dollshouses.
