LEGO talk - Change is good

So I packed away my LEGO Belville, not that long ago. It was a difficult decition to make, since it means so much to me. Buying my childhood lego, was what got me into toys as an adult. But I have felt like I couldent desplay it properly, and that it was difficult to do what I wanted with it. My shelving didnt work for it, and I dont have room for something that would work better. I havent bought any Belville for a verry long time, and what I allready had didnt get the attention it deserved - and I felt bad about it. 

I had trouble finding enough space, for my growing doll collection. I knew I could get more space if I packed away my lego, but I kept insisting that it was not what I wanted. 
But in the end I knew I would get more out of the space, if I packed away the lego and turned the shlefs into doll rooms. 
I had 5 shelfs with lego, one of them being the top shelf with boxes of lego, I didnt use at that point. So i thought that it might be difficult to pack it all away, but it was actually easy enough. I think it might be beause Belville, contains alot of big pieces. My lego is now on two shelfs, the top and bottom. I removed the middle shlef because, my dolls are a bigger scale. So i now have two free shelfs for my Paola Reina dolls, one of them is gonna be a bedroom and the other a playroom. My Hujoo cats got the Paola Reinas old shelf. And im prettyy happy with that.
And im looking forward to the day, where I have room for a big table, where I can build a little Belville town.

I have still bought a little lego, after I stopped buying Belville. 

Im not really into the traditonal lego minifigures (if I where I would totally collect them), but this little guy is speciel to me. The chracter he portrays, is a daniah royal guard who is the mascot for a danish toy store chain. Its a store I have fond childhood memeories from. what I remember most is visiting my granparent during the summer, my brother and I would allways get some vacation money, and we spend them in the nearby toy store. 
A store in this chain was allso the first place, I bought a lego Belville set as an adult - shortly before it was discontinued.

I discovered this little guy when I was working temporary in the toy, store close to where I live. I enjoyed working with toys, but im really not sure if reatail is for me. Annyways he cough my eyes, so I had to bring him home. - and he got a nice place on my desk. 

Last year in april, I went to lego land here in Denmark with my boyfriend. I had decided beforehand that I wanted a speciel souvenir, from the lego store there. But offcors I had allso decided how much I could spend on it, so some of the sets I liked was way too exspensive. Some where super cool, but didnt speak to me or fit with what I had in mind. I thought I might want to get some pick a brick lego, but I actually didnt know what bricks I wanted. 

I ended up buying this "visiting LEGOLAND" set, because I thought it was fun, cute and the price was reasonable. It allso remind me of when I went to LEGOLAND, with my family as a kid. And there were a perfect spot on my desk, where I could put it. 

Half a year later, I started missing building lego. I would have bought more lego Belville and build that, but there were no room on my shelfs for it. 
Instead I had been eyeing some of the creator sets, those with animals. 

So when one of the stores I shop in, had a huge sale on all lego - I gave in a bought my favorite creator set. I allso bought a box of mixed bricks that I hope will come in handy, one day in the future. Annyways I offcors bought eth set with the frogs, since I love frogs. I allso like the pretty parrot, and the cute fly in the set. Those allso ended up on my desk, lego is taking over my deask - I had to move some of my glass frogs but im totally fine with that. 
I actually tryed to put these on my nightstand, but that didnt feel right. And I do love having toys on my desk. 

I found this cute saber tooth, in a bin full of small lego sets in bags. I really like this concept, and I hope they come out with more animals. 

So thats my small non Belville lego collection. But I am considering exspanding, with the creator set with the cat and mouse.
