That is pretty cool. Never seen it before. We are giving our grandson the Lego aquarium for his birthday and I thought that was sort of odd for Lego but flowers as well...
That puzzle organizer thing in the pictures, does it stack and stay together? I could use something like that.

Yea, they have a series of them. This particular one you can buy multiples of and make and entire centerpiece out of it. This one is about 16 inches long.

Yes, it stacks and there is a clear top for the one on the top of the stack. MomHawk loves jigsaw puzzles and they come in very handy for that. EDIT: I should say they stack but they don't lock together.

This is that one, but Amazon carries several different types.

These and the tilting table in the picture I gave her for her birthday.

Thanks! I will see if there is something similar that clips together. For me loose would be an invitation for disaster.

It's curtains for you



And interior is complete. Next up is the exterior. Not much to that though.

My experiment with the wire and styrene hinges for the barn doors worked exceedingly well. They are far stronger than I anticipated and by just giving the wire a slight twist there is enough resistance that the doors stay closed. No doubt many would do this with brass sockets and pins but that is above my pay grade so I had to get inventive. The nice part is the results are very close to scale size!

Sorry for the nasty pictures but my poor old camera struggles that close up.







And a couple to cleanse your eye palate.
