This afternoon I built myself a room box out of foam-core board. I papered it in traditional blue and white floor and wall paper. Then I furnished it with things I have collected on my travels over the years.

| There are 3 Italian bowls in the cupboard. I collected them along the Amafli coast last spring. |

| I found these wonderful antique canisters in Germany last month. |

| These, excluding the windmill pitcher, are magnet souvenirs I found in Rome last year. I picked up the pitcher and many of the other blue and white pieces at different flea markets in Canada and the USA, |

| I got the hat, hanging pan and hanging cup in Germany last month. I found this cute chair and its mate in Sweden two years ago. |

| The scale and rolling pin holder are also from my trip to Germany last month. The little chest of drawers was found at a garage sale in Maryland. |

| I found the wooden utensil holder in an antique store in Berlin last month. The nice lady who owned it gave me a dog and a cat for my other dollhouse. They aren't here because they are the wrong scale for this room, but I remember her fondly. The hanging cheese is another magnet found in Rome last year |

| The little delft shoes are from trip to the Netherlands in 2005, but the carpet beater and the three molds are also from Germany last month. |

| The table, chairs, server and cupboard were given to me by my dear friend CM when I visited her in California a few years ago. The four plates on the middle shelf of the cupboard are reproductions of the traditional blue onion pattern that is so common in antique German dollhouses. I bought them in Seiffen, Germany last month. |

| On the table is a tray with an Erzgebirge tea set and eggs in egg cups. I got those in Seiffen, Germany, the town where these wonderful toys are made. |

| I bought the chickens at the Marolin Company in Germany last month. They are made of paper mache and are exactly like the ones I have in my little Putz farm except the ones in my farm are about 100 years old, |

| Every time I look at this room box I will also see all the wonderful places I have visited and all the great friends I have made over the years. What a great room!! |
