SKELETONS!! Cool New Re-Ment Minis

I was scouting around for Re-Ment minis when I happened upon these funny new sets on Amazon.

SKELETONS!

with

ACCESSORIES!

Aren't these hilarious? And, since they are Re-Ment, the quality should be good. I am asking for them for Christmas. 

Hunky Dory at 65/Cooking

I love what I call Adventure cooking; the more spices and other weird ingredients, the better. So here's a cute little kitchen all decked out for me.

For Thanksgiving I made Yorkshire pudding. Here is the table all ready.

There are eggs and milk, a whisk, a cookbook, and laptop so I can get the recipe.

I've got a little snack of bread, cheese and wurst.

There's a Corona and a crossword puzzle I am trying to add the last 4 letters to.

No quite sure why the open can of pudding is there; maybe I thought

I needed it for the Yorkshire "pudding,"

Nice sideboard laden with the necessities.

Simple things.

Little fridge and a bulletin board to keep up with life.

Water kettle for the all important coffee making. Spices and cooking tools.

Extra storage.

Fire extinguisher, steps to access hard to reach areas and a recycling bag.

Closer and inside views showing all the cool stuff.

Plates and bowls.

Rolling pin, skillet and serving trays.

Cutlery.

Chopsticks.

Snack drawer with Nestle Crunch and Smarties.

Extra plates.

Camping grill and plate.

Dishes above sink.

Dirty dishes in sink.

First aid kit and plunger under the sink.

Dinner cooking in oven.

Noodles and wine.

Well stocked fridge.

Beer and Coke.

Meat and sausages.

Veggies.

Full pantry.

Toaster.

Espresso maker.

Mixer.

It took me forever to finish this scene. I dithered around trying to make the refridgerator shelves out of Legos as the entire inside is really a big void. I have had the refridgerator since I was about 9 years old and I really love it but I wanted to be able to put things in it and make it look somewhat real. So I was able to make the shelves out of Legos today....finally. The drawers are Re-Ment but they work well here.

The blue and white sideboard and cabinet are German made by Modella (I think). The sink, stove and little cabinet are PlanToys which I painted white. The table and chairs are vintage found for me by my nephew Nicholas. The foods and kitchen implements are Re-Ment, Playmobil, Kaleidoscope House, L'il Woodzeez, Barbie or misc. things from here and there. The whisk, bowl, cookbook and eggs are from my sister Erika.

Hunky Dory at 65/Diversions...Reading and Crosswords

First in a series

all about me at 65

Diversions

Reading

Crossword Puzzles

Armchair Travel

This would be a dream spot to read. I love anything tropical and these things evoke that feeling...leafy wallpaper, rattan furniture, sunshine.

And when I read I like a dictionary close by. Art, another love.

Atlas

Dictionary

Art book

Bird book

Shelves loaded with cool things.

Horse sculpture made by my son.

My husband's high school senior photo.

Photo of my son, stepdaughter, and husband.

A paint palette my Mom had made since my son is an artist.

Crossword puzzle and COFFEE, though I like mine with milk in it.

Cushy pillows on the floor.

Gotta have these.

And I strive to be nice just like the pillow says.

The Little Menagerie

Days are busy when you have a little menagerie. Not only do you have the indoor crew, but others are waiting at the door.

New ones in baskets.

Medium ones on a leash.

Getting into things.

They do have intelligent creatures...very well read.

Better have some resource material.

Look who's outside!

No room inside, but there is food for them on the porch.

The idea for this came from my son, Will. We were starting to collect lots of little animals and they were just too cute not to use in a scene. Will gave me the Playmobil mother bunny and the basket the rat is in for my birthday....that made the scene imperative. Also, it is he that put the bunny by the front door...also the Playmobil unicorn.
