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!!

I Am Your Shadow.

 

 

 

"For she visited you in dreams

Her pale moon face shining bright

And chased away your fears

In the deepest of the night."

A Lundby lamp sparkles back to life.

 

Hello everybody, I hope you're well! 

This little vintage Lundby lamp was kept in storage for a long time, because I couldn't make it work anymore.

So yesterday I decided to bring it to someone who knows a lot about both miniatures and electricity, and he repaired it for me! So here it is, sparkling like a jewel in the magical half light of my living room!

Now I think of it, I guess it's a bit symbolic for me too, after spending so much time without publishing anything here, finally 'the lights' go back on again..

 

 Wish you a great week, and see you soon!

Rain and The Unknown Dead

Rain, my little ghost girl, has a thing with poetry. Same for song lyrics and wise words.

The girl is very spiritual, you see.. Every time I find something that I'm sure she will like, or write some stuff of my own, I share it with her. And you know what happens next? She comes alive! And then I see her face, her fair, pale skin, her dark hair, and those intense, blue eyes that seem to come from far, far away. Then I notice a soft smile on her luscious lips, and a twinkle in her eyes. I think she feeds on dreams. Like most of us, she needs them to exist.

This time around I presented her with the lyrics of a song by the German 'metal' band Lunar Aurora, a sample of which is quoted here below. The song is titled "The Unknown Dead", and its lyrics are more like a poem, than song lyrics. Also, what's interesting about it, is that the music almost completely obscures the singer's voice, so it's very hard to understand what he's saying. It feels as if the words are buried just underneath the music, mixed with the earth and roots of the trees, like in a shallow grave..

 

"Es werde Nacht.... und es werde Finsternis." ("Night came, and Darkness came.") 

"From bloodstained stargates to hellish forges 

And sky-clad summits to the eeriest gorges.
But now depart for my road goes yonder,

A road that darkens while in light I wander.
But pierced with beams when everything's sombre."

 

 Taken from: The Unknown Dead by Lunar Aurora.

 

That's all for now, folks. Thanks for visiting, keep safe, and see you next time!
