Book Nook - The Alley Waiting for the Cat-CraftoyX
DOWN A LITTLE SIDE STREET

Make the kind of place you would stop to explore.

Build the shopfronts, add the signs and place the small details along the alley. A lantern beside the doorway, bamboo by the wall and a cat on the path turn the narrow structure into a complete street scene. Open the panels to enjoy the side views when the build is done.

Build the street in layers

Upper windows, tiled-look roofs and shop signs give the alley its height and close-knit character.

Bring the lane to life

The cat, parasols and little street-side objects create points of interest along the path.

Enjoy the evening view

Touch-controlled lighting illuminates the lane, with an acrylic dust cover included for display.

ALONG THE ALLEY

Small discoveries at every level.

The cat draws you in, then the shopfronts and upper windows invite another look.

FOR CAT LOVERS AND CURIOUS TRAVELLERS

Keep a favourite kind of street close by.

The Alley Waiting for the Cat suits someone who loves cats, compact Japanese shopfronts or the memory of exploring a quiet lane on a trip. Building its little roofs, rails and window frames is a large part of the enjoyment. The opening structure gives the finished scene more to show than its narrow front view alone.
