Paper houses: As if i haven't enough, now paper product doll houses interest me such as the Anne of Green Gables. I am waiting for it to arrive. What has arrived to the delight of the family five year old is the Noah's Ark from http://www.toykits.com

It is great fun with sturdy two story ark and stacks of animals and Noah's family on little wooden blocks to shift about. It is lovely.....they also have a lovely little modern dolls house that gets heaps of play when I am minding little nieces and mini ing too. I just think that these are great starters for kids and our hobby and worth sending to England for.

Tuscano catalog: I found more interesting stuff in the Tuscano catalog, (though I had trouble finding stuff on their website, the catalog was easier. Their 600 number is 1-800 525-0733, and the website is:

http://www.designtuscano.com

The new things I found are: a catapult, a highland sword, a statue of Michangelo's David, a bunch of Egyptian stuff...and a miniature of a "guy" called the "Devil of York" ! He is supposedly a copy of one on a building in York England. He is blamed for typographical errors!
