mini cellos and violins

Say,
esteven, did your bears ever get their cello and violin, respectively? I've been looking on ebay at dollhouse sized ones... Did you see the amazing $400 violin for a dollhouse that I linked to last week? It's incredible. I certainly couldn't make such an exquisite tiny violin for $400. (Though the bow is kind of funny looking. But many of the miniature bows are, I'm finding.) But they're all so CUTE! I can't wait to get my own and hold them in my hands. I've always had a funny kind of enamored-ness (is there a noun in there somewhere?) with musical instruments as physical objects, especially the stringed ones. I have a similar enamored-ness with toe shoes as objects. And opera singers' throats as objects. (Just kidding about that one. Yeah...) Anyway, I think I might get this cello off of ebay.
You know, I think it's actually my poppets who are whispering these things to me, about making these roomboxes and buying musical instruments and the like!!! Here I was thinking all along, "No, nobody's going to inhabit these little spaces. That just wouldn't be quite right. I'll just furnish and decorate them as if the people have just stepped out for a moment." But I think my poppets are planning to sneak in there at night and live it up, dissecting little fish or eating weevil-infested hard tack - and now they want MUSIC too! How did I never suspect this before???
And if that's the case, then who's been whispering to me to buy miniature silver...? *looks around uneasily for a poppet Killick* And what are Sophie and Diana poppets going to demand?

Date: 2007-10-03 10:05 am (UTC)Perhaps Sophie will ask for a male version of a chastity belt to keep Jack on the straight and narrow. *g* Is there such a thing do you think for men? I can't imagine any male inventing one.

Date: 2007-10-03 08:31 pm (UTC)Sophie and Diana would need shawls from India, and pens and parchment for their eternal letter-writing, and of course CHILDREN. And the Villiers woman would need a suit of armor and a safe-house to protect her from me.

OH STEPHEN!!!!!!! I'm going to make us some hot chocolate, all right? And if you don't drink yours, I'll drink it for you. OH ANGST!

Date: 2007-10-04 01:16 pm (UTC)I do not like that woman (though I admit that she gives me plenty of Suicidal!Stephen to fret over, which is kinda good).

Date: 2007-10-04 04:51 am (UTC)Actually, I've been looking for great big diamonds CONSTANTLY for Diana, but I haven't found anything quite suitable yet. I do intend to make her a necklace as soon as I can find just the right jewels, though! She'll just have to wait. Good things come to those who wait, Diana. You should wait for the BEST.

Date: 2007-10-05 01:47 am (UTC)I have some very similiar to those(although I certainly didn't pay that much for them)but I can't find a company name as to who made them.
I'm also curious to see if it's a collection and if there are any other pieces.
