Great Amsterdam houses, Lucy. What a wonderful series to develop. When you have enough houses that you need to create a canal scene to accompany, how about a miniature wooden shoe boat replica to float in the canal? I did a quick ebay search and came up with numerous sizes of wooden shoes, lots of different decorations, and even one already made into a boat.

Inspiration for finding this came from a google image search for Amsterdam canal boat.

Thanks for sharing pics of your creations. I look forward to more.
