Our hobby: masks, candles, dolls, hats, stones, flowers, animals, travel

[balk]

Here you will find all of what our life was rich ...

We - the great collectors. We Collecting:
• mask (miniature, such as Venice), they have us over 600 pieces - one point Mischa counted them, and then we have after a visit to the next flea market just to add the number of eye. So to say exactly how many of them can not. I started collecting them, and her husband then greatly fascinated by this;
• husband loves curly molded candles, we have them too, more than 250 pieces (the acquisition of most of them: an interesting story to tell later);
• my passion - hats. They come to me, and besides, this kind of medicine for me: when the wind, and in Dusseldorf this napryazhenka, I have a bad headache. All the time have something to keep her, poor thing, to somehow escape. Most often, this cap and a baseball cap, given the type of sports clothing, to which I am accustomed to here, and climate. But his love for the beautiful hat has gone, she is now reflected in the fact that I collect ceramic hat. This is a completely new direction gathering (the first two we "brought back from Moscow, here only multiply collection). Ceramic cap, I saw here at flea markets and "sick" of it. They are unique, all - handmade. They are now I have something of the order of 150 pieces;
• I am very fond of rocks, minerals. I do not understand their chemical properties, I was quite touched by that one mineral is expensive, and the other - just rubble. I was fascinated with texture, pattern cut, polished, and if you get the purchase inserted into the frame. Almost all of this collection I have from Moscow with exhibitions of gems, where I bought the paintings from the sections and figures of the stones for a penny. Here I can not afford it. I am also very fond of lacquered wood cuts, but the stones I have a special feeling;
• Here we first came figurines dolls, made in a very interesting way. My husband laughed at first, saying: "She's a child not played enough, now catching up." A once-in-law came and brought much as a dozen of these dolls on pedestals. We parted, and added to them yet pieces 20. The problem with the base. Put them on the bottles, but it was not good. Fortunately, found a place where they are sold. Now almost all are. Those that do not stand, sit in toy chairs: there are dolls, which, to be seen parts of their clothing and ornaments, a certain height, and we have no place, and with the cabinets (ceiling 3 meters), they do not look.

I love cacti. I have their whole window. But they do not bloom. I was attracted to the new for me, kind of cacti: the barrel of some home cactus or similar "thorn" teach the other, more exotic cactus, and it grows there is a kind of cap. This interesting and unusual.
But my latest passion - orchids. When I was in 2000 in Singapore orchids in the park or see room with orchids in Holland, I looked at them as curiosities, realizing that I did not kick in the teeth: in material terms, and because at home like me then It seemed they did not take root. When my sister in Moscow, bought a few pieces and put in his posh apartment, I just licked. But, once in exile, and realizing that here he is standing not so expensive as in Moscow, but I managed to buy them all at ridiculous prices, I raschu house a whole garden. Problems with them fully. Fortunately, besides the multitude of disadvantages in our apartment, and I'm second year engaged in cultivation of orchids (I'm attracted to it seriously 2 years ago, the first attempt ended in complete failure: poor little ladies, I foolishly transplanted into large pots with normal floral ground and they all died), y I was here 8 windows - flat in the end of the house, all battered. 6 of them - under the orchids. Every winter, dies pieces of 6-8. Moreover, the law of meanness, the most beautiful. But I'm learning from mistakes. And they respond gratefully. I begin to blossom, even those varieties, about which the Internet say they buy them - to throw good money after bad: at home they will not bloom. I'm sorry, but my husband, after my repeated requests and "cutting" in all places, did not work with my photos of orchids. But he promised to reform.
