They go in the dish cupboard like you expect, but they make for eccentric place settings.Varinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514410260798360800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-88812800378043743422012-03-20T17:30:30.585-06:002012-03-20T17:30:30.585-06:00That's the type of house which is fun to visit...That's the type of house which is fun to visit. :)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-63943900019157063202012-03-20T17:28:08.586-06:002012-03-20T17:28:08.586-06:00Beware, I have a vicious guard dog!

Cutesy plush toys clash and now live in my wardrobe. Monster High Dolls really need to live on a shelf and not in a box, but they again clash with the anachronistic style of our bedroom. They don't go with the Oriental styling of our living room either, and out apartment doesn't have a spare room. If Raven and I have kids, I'll let the kids play with my collection and have an excuse :PThe HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-75080136320792574182012-03-19T17:41:20.002-06:002012-03-19T17:41:20.002-06:00Ha ha!

Instead, I bought a house and parked the books long-term. ;)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-61785667661327172812012-03-19T16:47:07.558-06:002012-03-19T16:47:07.558-06:00Very handy work.
