Antique shop by night

It took a lot of time to make pictures by night, but I am satisfied.

Inside Antique shop

I still must make a lot more, but the start of the inside shop:

Toys

Toys and other things for the Antique shop

The second floor Antique shop

The second floor:
The building is very old and they moved already the second floor.
There is a lot of building junk.

The light

The light is working!
The pictures are not perfect, but when the Antique shop is finished I make some new ones.

Update Antique shop

I painted the outside of the shop.
Because it is very dark weather here in this part of the world the pictures are not so nice.

The inside, I need still a lot of things and also make some things old and dirty, but it is a start.

Birthday

Today is my birthday and this morning called Mercedes!
It was so wonderful to finally talk with here.
I receive a lot of emails and postcards, Sabiha called me, Linda wrote an email, it is a very nice day!
Update of the little Antique Shop.
The clay is drying and when it is dry I can paint it.

The inside, I painted the floor and finished the stairs.

Another project

A few weeks ago I started a new project, I bild the window and make the rest of it.
It is going to be an Antique shop, very old and dirty ( something like the Attic)

The inside, I must still paint the floor

Update outside, still a lot to do
