What I want to know is….?
How the blooming heck did all this ever fit in my house?!?!?!?!?!?!
The Hama Beads, desk and (ahem) admin area, plus packing tables. (You would not believe how happy those packing tables made us!
The Corolle Dolls, Wonderworld, Aqua beads, The Bead Shop, Great Gizmos and Alex Crafts section.
More Hama Beads and the Fimo section (with a little parcel weighing area tucked in at the end.)
The “behind the door” area we try not to think about which includes “stuff we won’t stock again” plus Le Toy Van, Papo, Schleich, Melissa and Doug, games and plasticine. And yes we have run out of space already!
And the rather exciting sign

I can only conclude that
(a) your children had in fact been sleeping in the garden shed until recently or
(b) you live in a tardis.
The unit looks fantastic!

Um, not sure. Why, do you want me to?
Probably just a few lines for the toy site really that didn’t sell. I’ve got Supermag sets and a variety of other things on sale on pm at the moment, plus a few craft kits that don’t really move fast enough to earn their place on the site!

DaddyBean, i think you have a good point. Or at least, it dsort of did, but it didn’t leave room for us!

Oh lordy, I’m grinning away at those photos as proudly as if it were all my own work! You will still remember us all when you’ve taken over the world, won’t you?

I think it would be fair to say i owe an awful lot to the people who resolutely bought hama beads from me when it was in 3 folding crates and living on a prayer. I imagine no one will let me get too big for my boots

You oversold the sign. I was expecting flashing neon and animated gogo girls.

Yes–how did you fit all that in your home?? The house must feel huge now!
I can’t see from the photos–but does your Alex catalogue have those Loop-n-Loom replacement loops? If so–I’ll take some!

Elizabeth, i forgot! I’ve looked and can only see the actual kit, not refills. But i’ve got a 2008 catalogue in the post to me, so it could be new here and the rep coming next week to show me new stuff, so will ask.
