Miniatures Museum of The World-Taiwan (6)

It has been a week of no miniatures for me and it looks like I will not have much time for it until the last week of May. Not even to create scenes for my palace stories.

In line with my mood, today's pictures will be for the downtrodden and poor. Enjoy if you can the scenes from the uglier side of life.

As I have cheered up considerably by now, we will end this post on an upbeat. Still poor but no longer downtrodden, here is THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER

Today's post is devoted to all things French!

(Artisan: Trezoortjes from Belgium)
This is one of my favourite exhibits and I know my dear Mercedes will love it too (as well as many of you). True to the spirit of Vive la vie bohème, as Mercedes would say, I hope you enjoy this shop as much as I did.
