Blue Miniature Typewriter Found!!

I've been on the hunt for the same blue typewriter you see in one of my posts about Miner's Rooms in Miniature here! Finally, out of the blue, (so to speak!!LOL) I found one thru etsy just by accident!! I don't even recall what I was looking for that it showed up on google!? Now, I have 4 colors to choose from to use in my Miner's Rooms!
 Above, the package from etsy arrived to me safely today! The seller even included an extra gift, a miniature magazine! Nice!
 Finally, the blue typewriter! Similar to the others I have. It's funny how most are sold as Barbie accessories, but they are way too tiny for Barbie's hands to use!!LOL

Below, The back side of the typewriter has the letters "PK" encircled and 'Hong Kong'. The keys are just a sticker of the type letters.
 
 The platen is made of metal and movable. It slides left or right, but because its attached at the center to the base of the typewriter, its tricky to even bother placing a miniature piece of paper into it.

 Above, my miniature typewriter collection for the Miner's Rooms. The green is very different from the other three. Amazing 1960s pieces!! Funny, I learned how to use a typewriter in my Business Class in High School. Glad I took the class, but sad that these machines are obsolete!!

Below, some Bratz boyz clothing n accessories came in for Shiori. Some pieces fit, some are a bit short. I'll see if they are keepers?!!

Gab, gab, gab...

Today, a new friend comes to visit with my MPC lady in the Irwin/Miner room! I found her loose on the bay and she is a welcome addition to the house!

Now, I have one sitting MPC figure and one standing. They both fit this scale nicely. I also rearranged the room and added a separating wall to include the dining area.

 This will do for now, til' I get the some MDF boards in...ugh, time!


I wonder what they are talking about?!

Another item arrives, on my wish list!!


Well part of it! LOL! Since summer of 2011, my collecting style changed to doll houses and doll furniture. But there were moments in 2012 where, I just about gave up on collecting many of the harder to find items that were on my wish list, til' recently...

As christmas passed on and the new year came into play, I was amazed that, in 2 consecutive days, I accidentally come upon some treasures I had been wanting, besides the Irwin set...yup, more!! I won't divulge all of the things on my wish list as there are many, but as the items come in, I will share with you the wonderment of it all and finding them to say the least!!

Today, I received parts of a set of living room furniture from a coveted kit by Miners Rooms in Miniatures. I found out about them thru a few collectors who own them and one in particular, "Call of the Small". I saw her complete kit posted on her blog and had been wanting one ever since!

Doing my usual searches on the bay, I found a seller, had up for auction, the sofa, coffee table and chair. I decided to bid and won it. Though it may not be the whole kit, it was still lovely to find these pieces!

Below you can see the sofa, chair, and coffee table added into the Irwin room set. I added a few other items to decorate with. It is a bit smaller in scale to the Irwin set, but I just love the wall panels of this room!



If only we could shrink ourselves for a short visit!? The set and furniture is so much fun!

I find myself amazed, that no matter how hard something is to find, it will, and does come into play later on, when you least expect it...
