Kingdom of Knuffel

Over ten years

I can barely remember when it fit on the fireplace mantel
The Halloween village does, but only cuz it never really got the same kind of attention and we only unearthed most of it after being MIA for several years

Wow! Those are so cute and amazing!

And heavy

Really? What are they made of? They look so delicate and fine it's hard to picture them as heavy....

(I don't know why I was expecting treehouses for the forest section. Really looking for the wrong thing, there.)

They're porcelain
And while one by one they aren't much, when you have a bin with a half dozen buildings plus whatever people and accessories you fit in the empty spaces, it adds up

The Michael's exclusives I also get cheaper cuz mom works at one and employee discount
Plus every year I get at least two more buildings, so it's getting larger and larger and I'm running our of space lol

It would be so tempting to put a high shelf up all around the room and leave them on permanent display. They really are cute!

Okay cats visit it and I have so many they take up a room
