The floor in the room, where I store my smurfs was as old as Methusalem, but it took me quite some time to decide to take a new floor.
Finally I found the courage to take everything out ( including all my glasscupboards and smurfs) and this week, I got a new floor!
And an extra cupboard!

Since there is a terible snowstorm today , even the spidersweb is frozen, ( hardly any traffic, no busses, no football matches, no nothing) and I cannot leave my house, it`s a perfect day to put the smurfs back in the cupboards. So..hundreds, or probably thousands of smurfs are going through my hands and I have now more space for my supersmurfs , my nice basketball smurfs with coloured balls, etc. Even the band from`98 can be stored.
I found some old orange Belgian smurfs that I would like to know more about.
Are they Dupuis? I know 6 exist, no markings.
Does anyone know?

Very nice to see some of your collection, and is gonna be a very nice smurfroom!
You said you got a new cupboard...is one in the pictures?
What size it is and where you got it? We are also still looking for a vitrine, but we want one which is not so deep....

I like those cabinets. Good to see your smurfs are back at their rightful place.

Sounds like you had a very very smurfy day

[Lia]

Thanks Maureen, I dìd!

@Ron: second cupboard on the right is new.
I always order 4 or 5 extra shelves ( there are standard 4 shelves), so that gives me space for 500 more smurfs
32 cm deep ( x 175 cm H x 67 cm Br)

Very nice Lia.

More smurfs to display.
I would also like to have the space you have.

I can´t help it Lia but on all the pictures from you my eyes are always drawn to the pink basket with the baby. I think you should have that one in its own cabinet. And then you don´t have to order extra shelves, right.

Those are very nice cabinets Lia & are perfect for displaying your collection

[stampysmurf]

Very nice smurf cabinets and new floor!

[Lia]

Thank you all!

( André, apart from these cabinets on the picture,I have cabinets for my sockels, mini`s and special omo-smurfs, but I agree that the baby is worth having a special place)

I still hope that a ( Belgian) member can help me with info about the origine of the 2 orange smurfs?

OHHHHHHHHHHHH, Lia!!!!!!!!It seems you have to work hardly...But this kind of work is really NICE: I always find new things I had not noticed when I rearrange my smufs

[Smurfysmurf]

Thank you all!

Lia, I hope you don't mind but I moved this thread to the smurf collector's corner. I hope it'll be easier for you to get an answer in there

I, actually, would love to learn more about them, too

[Lia]

It`s ok Maureen!
And I already received an answer!
Like I suspected, they are ancient dupuis smurfs!
At least, that`s what a very gentle Belgian collector told me and he collects since the seventies, so I suppose, he knows!

To compare, I`ll show the normal dupuis union and the orange versions (pics are borrowed from someone) and it makes sense!

and yes Joaquin, it`s a nice job and I took the opportunity to put all my bottles together for a picture.
Still missing 3 werbeclips though, but I`m happy with the ones, I have.

Even though they aren't blue, I really like those orange smurfs. Fantastic and WOW on your cabinets. Good luck getting everything back in there. Should look awesome when you finish.

[Tojo]

OMG Lia!!! That last picture is amazing

[SmurfingH]

I love those ancient orange smurfs too! It's really nice to see pictures of your smurf cabinets Lia. I always wondered what your collection room looked like!
