when small, i used to have an old china boot (illuminated from within with a low-watt bulb) with a scene of little owls sitting around inside. it gave you a lovely cosy feeling at bedtime. can't find anything like this now, just the whirling lamps projecting seascape/animal scenes. they're very nice but... i want a china boot! or something like it! something made of china, with windows you can peep through!

have been looking for ages. checked all the usual suspects inc ebay.

Jojomamanbebe do a balloon one with animals around here: nightlight

They used to do a boot one like the one you described, but I was too slow and when I decided to get it they had stopped stocking it!!

secur and cas73... i badly need to look in at a cosy domestic scenario... and if i got creative, i'd definitely set the place on fire. i think it may be a health and safety issue. it seems so weird that they were so commonplace when i was small, and now they're impossible to find
