So Hape

I do not recall if I've mentioned how nice the bamboo dollhouse furniture pieces are from Hape Toys. I was quite pleased to learn late last year that they would be selling the room sets separately from their $500 Sunshine house. I purchased a few sets and have used them for quite a few room settings that, unfortunately, will never be published to this blog because I didn't photolog everything while I was on "a bit of a hiatus". I regret not taking photos of one particular children's room that I put together with the Hape pieces, but...bygones. Anywhoo--I've been mostly pleased with the versatility of the bamboo bookcase/room divider pieces that come with the Hape Living Room set. There are two of these featured in the above scene, as well as the entertainment center and storage table (from the bedroom set). Bamboo and Plexi a happy modern miniaturist make. Horrible sentence, yet still so true. Chuckles.

In other blah blah blah---Somehow word has gotten out that a San Francisco modern miniature event is tentatively scheduled for later this year. Some talented artisans, a toy company maverick and boring me are scheduled to be there. I've been getting several inquiring emails, but I'm not at liberty by the organizer to identify them or provide details about the event until closer to the date. So, if things go according to plan, I'll get that opportunity to meet some of you face to face. I'll post more information when I can...
