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!

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)
