Posts: 1,277I've actually seen a lighthouse at a hobby store fairly close to home. I can't buy anymore houses til I finish the others though! 
I'll check out the site for other goodies though. Thanks!
Irenours-bearsIt's too mignon (sweet) chez toi Sophie 
How many bears do you have?
Sophie Z'Ours:doh:
Bonne question...
Plein.
Jamais trop cependant.
26 cheeky bears from Merrythought (+ 4 ordered in my favourite retailer shop to arrive when the fourth as joined the others in the shop)
+ one very big bear from Merrythought (the one on the sofa)
+ a pyjama case bear from Merrythought
+ 4 other bears which are not collectors
+ my handmade bears (7)
+ the few bears still at my parents'home which are not collectors.
I have got a big Marsupilami my brother offered me (I love Marsupilami); but I left him at my parents'.
Definitelynot a collector, but I don't care!!! :P
Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Sophie Z'OursOh, by the way, Fran, "plein" means "a lot" in French.

Irène, I would love to see how is the inside of your house! Are you a collector too???
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
LuxembearsFran...Will you pleeeeeeze come and clean my house????? WOW!!!!!! You must not have any lsmall children running around.
Sandi.....on my...what a naughty doggie. What kind is he/she? Make a nice big bear and have it sit there to cover the hole. 
Sophie...I LOVE your Cheeky Bears!!!! I want a whole family of them. I only have one right now, the Snowbear Cheeky. They are hard to find here. Japan has some of the best Cheeky's....I wish I could speak Japanese. :love:
Matilda,...beautiful beautiful....will you come and piant flowers on my walls....ater Fran cleans my house for me 
Jazzy RagsSorry Irene you see i am a dicky bird and i get confused easy .No Judi i dont have any little ones running around but i can live i hope My husband make a lot of mess so he keeps me busy cleaning up after him he tells me to not worry about it but i cant help it.
Posts: 1,277Judi- we have a collie (little miss naughty) and a collie mix. They are actually from the same mother. The mix came first. His litter was an accident. Then a year later we got the little brat. I can't cover up the hole with a bear because she would then eat the bear. Actually it's just filpped over right now until my new one arrives.
Fran- My fiancee makes a lot of mess (and me too :redface:); he tells me not to worry about it and I say, OKAY! :lol:
I like the new bear in your avatar. Beautiful!
Sandi
Jazzy RagsThank sandi ,Jane made it for me
Matilda Huggington-beare
WOW!!!! :dance:This has been an amazing insight to what makes us all tick...Kathy, I love your creativity. Amazing job you have done. I would love to see more pics of your paint work. :pray:
FRAN, that lighthouse is wonderful. When I go to the craft fairs I always seek out the miniture worlds. I have always promised myself that one day" I will give me one of them" When I lived in Paddington in Sydney, There was a dolls house shop in one of the little streets off of the main drag. I would go out of my way to just gaze in the window. There's just something old world and innocent about them. Quite charming.
Sand, that avatar bear of yours is to die for. Is it completely crocheted or is it fur with crocheted feet? It is adorable. :love:
Now Sophie, does your partner only collect antique clocks? or does he branch out in his collecting? I have a friend that collects clocks and the chimes are free to do their thing.
I bought a 'Margaret Bennet' clock last year, and love it so much I plan to add to it.

I love the yellow dog. Real far out he is.
Here is a pic of the margaret Bennet clock I bought. It has a moving pendulum but doesnt chime.

My house is 80 years old and it needed much work in and out when we've bought it 3 years ago. I dream to have a beautifull garden, but have to wait for much more money 
Irene! Your house is so lovely! I adore the colors you've used, and all that detailing, and the personality. Your antiques are to die for. And look at that gorgeous mountain behind your home! I'm absolutely in awe. The lines of the staircase alone have me breathless. Can you tell I love your house? Wow. Just spectacular.
You will be a stop on my itinerary next time I'm in Europe. Hope that's okay with you.
Past Time BearsOh yes, Irene, your house is stunning inside and outside!! Such a wonderful, lovely place! Beautiful!!
Matilda Huggington-beareIrene! all I can say is WOW!!! :dance: This is the type of BB I always try to look out for in my travels.
Not to say your beautiful home looks like a BB. :doh:
Lets just say I love your home. Big time :dance:
And Sandi again I will say your bear is gorgeous. 
Jazzy RagsIrene what a amazing fascinating home, thank you so very much for letting us come inside ,I loved to see all the beautiful homes thanks again .

Sophie Z'OursIrène, I love your house too! so colourful! It looks like you have transformed your chimney in a teddy bear sanctuary... :)
Is pink your favourite colour?
I think that my sweatheart and myself should end up visiting you someday...
Matilda, your clock is great! Malko is collecting only antique mechanical clocks. He repares them too (the ones he has bought and sometimes some friends' ones too).
Oh, by the way, whoever happens to come to France will always be welcome home, eventhough we have a pocket flat!!! :lol:
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Irenours-bearsOh Shelly, just come when you want I love so much the american country style that i've tried to decore my kitchen that way. That's why you can trust me if i say that your farm is wonderfull. Maybe we can do a swap for hollydays Thank you all for the nices words. Sophie, it's not pink, but violine wich i mixed with light blue. Are you far from Chambéry in Savoie?
Sophie Z'OursYes, i am far. I am living in the periphery of Le Mans. Not exactly in the same part of France... :(
In addition, neither Malko nor myself has some friends or relatives in Savoie. But I love that part of France.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Sophie Z'OursOh, Marion is sometimes a bit clother to you, as she often goes to Evian, but a few hundreds km more in the north, I guess...
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
