What's the time, little bird?

A little bird lives with me, a very special one indeed! For this little fellow is mechanical, and sits in a cage that doubles as a clock.

There is a sphere at the center of the cage sitting on a pole. It's surrounded by a ring with numbers one to twelve that mark the hours, and a red arrow moves along it very slowly, showing the time. The cage is small, less than 5 inches (12 cm) tall.

And the little bird? Well, he moves sideways, as if pecking seeds on the ground. Tick-tock, tick-tock... Never gets tired. I watch him while I work, with a smile on my face. Tempus fugit, time flies, and another day goes by, dissolving like mist in the warm rays of the sun. The little bird doesn't care, after all he has time on his side. He keeps and eye on me. Tick-tock, tick-tock...

A wig for Rain.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well! 

I finally got a wig for my ball jointed doll Rain!! I had been looking for one for a long time, and finally got it thanks to a seller I know.

The wig is made of real, braided hair. It is quite long, and comes with two red bows. All I need to do now is make sure it fits her well (it sits a bit loose on the head) and she'll be ready to go. Well, that's figuratively speaking of course; the girl is staying with me!

Frederika and Friends.

Frederika spends her days looking at me. Surrounded by her friends, she sees me work and eat and talk and watch video's on Youtube with absolute devotion.

And I cannot be bothered cos she keeps me company. That corner of the living room table would be so lonely without her, without them! Not to mention the dollies at the back. So many tiny eyes, all watching me while daydreaming dolls dreams.

Afterlife.

The little marten dreams of chloroform and formaldehyde , of laudanum and glycerol, of fossils and a big scarab too.

Such is her afterlife; sitting on a branch she guards her treasures with dagger-like fangs, fast as lightning, her serpentine body the height of agility.

A born hunter, even in death so menacing and strong. Her blind eyes fixed on you, little marten of glycerol and chloroform.

Little Troublemaker.

Don't give me that look, troublemaker, I know it was you who broke that tea cup.

Who was it, you say? "A mouse?" Sure..., because it couldn't possibly be you. could it?

Well, go tell that mouse that he better start behaving, if he doesn't want to get into BIG trouble!

Off you go. No, wait, the price for that tea cup is a kissie. There, now you can go!

She put her little arms around me and said " I love you daddy!" And off she went to more mischief, while I stayed behind with a broken cup, and a big smile on my face.

The young lady in marble

She must be a least 120 years old, the beautiful young lady in the living room. From her vantage point in someone's house, she quietly saw the world change, and people around her grow up and grow old, then pass away into memory. 

Time has let some traces on her too; a dent here and there, but overall it has been kind to her. And now she lives with me, watching how I live my life, and change. Until I'll be gone too, and she'll go on to grace someone else's life. Always tranquil, serene, and eternally beautiful.

The cabinet of little birds.

The golden rays of the autumn sun invaded the old house like a search light, revealing the objects that hid in the dark, making them look like secret lovers in a park, surprised in their exchange of illicit kisses.

It was the time of the day when the little stone birds on the antique cabinet seemed to come alive, filling for a brief moment the silent room with their merry chirping. 

Then the light moved on, and they fell silent, turning back to stone, waiting for the return of the sun's golden beams to awaken them again from their deep slumber.

The arrival of a Schuco Mercedes Micro Racer.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well!

This week I was thrilled by the arrival of a beautiful miniature clockwork race car; a Schuco Mercedes Micro Racer, 'red seven'.

Since the little car had a special sentimental meaning to the seller, I promised her to take some pictures of it in the garage of one of my dolls houses. So here it is, posing in front of one of the Triangs, showing it at the entrance of the garage (image 1 + 2) and in front of the house's porch.

Finally, the last picture shows it on display, together with other similar race cars, on a shelf in my living room. I hope you like the photo's. If so, leave a like and a comment, and see you next time. Thank you!!
