Thanks! Yes, before, it was a dinky 2-story structure. There is an interesting story about the start of the cutie store. I didn't used to like Belville, but my fiancee (NLF unfortunately) insisted on getting some because she thought it would make a (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.belville)

Thanks Shiri, I've thought about trying to tie them (the big pink pointed pieces) into a castle somehow, but this would be even more challenging than a town building. Interestingly enough, I found a famouse rococo-styled building whose facade (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.belville, lugnet.build.arch)

The Cutie Store is cute! I noticed it the last time you posted a message about your town-- back then it wasn't totally visible and I wished you'd had a view of the whole thing, so this is great! If my memory serves me it has been modified. Good use (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.belville)

Hi Brad! I've commented about these once, but only briefly and in private, so I'll do it again. I think your use of BV pieces in deco are ingenious, and that they fit in well with the town even though they are not m-f scale; because you make it (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.belville)

I really don't think many of the Belville 'fans' that post here actually buy BV to work in a BV scale. (note - I said many, not all :) I don't (...)
