| Could this light be any more obnoxious? |
Remember how I have been struggling with the
LED carriage lamps I purchased to flank the front door of
Merriman Park? I really hate the
garish quality of the light they cast. And then my
kooky, drunkard of a neighbor passed out one night and crushed one of them!
Well, while trolling the internet miniature shops the other day I found LED carriage lamps that emit an 'amber glow!' I am so excited! They are available at
Minimum World in England. I have ordered from them in the past and they come
highly recommended. Merriman Park's top story comes practically exclusively from Minimum World: the lead flashing, urns, pedestals and balustrade were all purchased there.
Can't wait until the new lamps arrive!
September has brought a rush of cooler air to these parts...it drops down into the 50s at night which any Minnesotan will tell you is perfect sleeping weather. I've actually had to wear a light jacket to work in the morning (even though the daytime temps bounce nicely back into the 70s). All my way of saying that
Dollhouse Weather is fast approaching, and I'll be getting back to work on
Merriman Park, and also on this neglected blog!
Just the other day when we had a drop in temps too I was thinking of you and your blog and "DOLLHOUSE WEATHER"!!!
ReplyDeleteI took a day off work and made some progress, finally, on one of my dollhouses too.
Looking forward to watching your progress this coming season.
I LOVE dollhouse weather!!
Thanks for 'thinking of me,' Cassandra! I thought of you, too when I wrote this post.
ReplyDeleteI've grown to love 'dollhouse weather,' too --thanks to Merriman Park!
