Note About Mini Vacuum Cleaner

In the last post, I kind of slipped in the mini vacuum at the last minute. It is an attachment kit, that fits with an adapter, to your 1:1 vacuum cleaner. So, you get normal suction for cleaning small items and areas.

You can get one here at Amazon. They are even on sale!

This Little Light of Mine/Suck it up!

This is one of those duh discoveries. Many of you may have already figured this out. I found each of these lights for a dollar at the dollar store. I orginally thought they would make great spotlights for  pieces of art and I am still guessing they will.

What I found was they make life so much easier when I am trying to see into the recesses of my dollhouse rooms. Here are three of the styles I saw. I am sure there are lots more. They clip where ever you want them, then swivel!

 I like the bullet shaped one because the light is stronger and it is more sturdy than the black one.  I have not tried the red one with the long neck.They all come with the needed batteries. Be careful though. The lights grow dim with prolonged usage. So, they are best for quick jobs. If you are able to locate more batteries, I supose you could use them to your heart's content!

I also have refound a set of vacuum nozzles that are the perfect size for minis without sucking up your precious assessories. I have yet to use this tool kit although, I must have had it for six or seven years. I lose it then find it. Now to try it out.

These come in a variety of colors also
 


The mini light at the top is not currently on. I just wanted to show the position that I clip it. It works great while I am working on this room!
 
Now just the mini light is on to show the beam. I usually have as much lighting as I can get.
 
The battery is not needed. It is  just there for size reference.
