NZ Paradise Estate almost complete!!!

[Melindra]

Ok, I just had to share cause I am so excited!!!

I bought my Paradise Estate three years ago, it was in an awful state, filthy and little more than a shell.  I had the four rooms, the four rooftops, (no fans) the pool, (no canopy, pillars or garden) and the patio floor.  (No gates)

I have been working on it for the last three years, and I have just in the last two days managed to get it down to four items remaining till completion.  I could not be more excited!!!

I managed to find the rainbow stacking toy, (still bidding on the auction) on Ebay, and from the same seller I was able to use the Buy It Now to get the cutlery pieces I was missing AND both original combs!  Just gotta win that last auction....  (please please please!!!)

I ended up with two spare rooms from a bulk purchase and have just traded one for a blue dresser with decals, (mine is missing the decals) coffee table with decals, (again, mine is missing them) the three daisy flowers I was missing from the garden, the pink perfume bottle and two window awnings.

All I need now are two more awnings, (I want one for each window, it doesn't look complete to me otherwise!!!) the Paradise Estate gate sticker or a replacement gate piece with the sticker attached, and the pink blanket from the bed.  That is it!

I may have a lead on one awing so that would narrow it down even more.  Of course, I would like to find the instruction sheet somewhere, and I will keep looking for a box as well, but to see the estate now when I remember what it was like when I got it...  Man it just makes me smile!!!

Apparantly these are VERY rare in New Zealand,so I am pretty proud of myself!

I was wondering...  Do any other Kiwi collectors have a Paradise Estate?  Just so I know how rare these sets are over here??? 

I LOVE my Paradise Estate!!!!

Yay!  I'm so pleased you managed to track down some of the pieces you are missing!  Any chance of some pics?

As soon as I figure out how to, and find out how to get my computer to like my camera!  :-)  At the moment, my camera doesn't like Windows Eight...  Hehe

I have a few spare parts from my restoration, what do you need? 
And SO excited, I did just win the auction for the rainbow stacking toy, and have found one of the two awnings I am missing.  Down to the wire here, missing one awning, the gate sticker and a blanket.  (Some sites say the estate came with one, some say it didn't???)  Getting close now, fingers crossed nothing happens to the accessories that are currently in transit....
