 Some people have asked me how can I give up something that I have worked so hard on. It's worth it all to see the look on the recipient's face when they open their special package. My daughter, granddaughter and I wanted to do something special for Ms. Laura, the manager of the day care where Liz attended. Here is the story behind my making this play school music box. |

 In making the reception table for the 50th Anniversary Music box, I had to create a fruit platter. According to the caterer, the fruit platter will have cantaloupe, honeydew melon, grapes, pineapple, and strawberries. Our miniature reception table can have no less. Here is how I made the miniature fruit and combined them to make the miniature fruit platter. |

When I first became interested in miniatures, I had two small children. It's hard to take family money to support a hobby, especially one that can become very expensive. This was one way I found to bring in some "mini" revenue. |

 The apothecary was created as a part of a small town the miniature club in Greensboro made to display at various shows. This was my contribution to the town. Each building resided on its own piece of real estate consisting of a grassy area, sidewalk, and a curb. When the town was shown, each piece of real estate with its building was placed together and street lights added to form the town. |

 I have always loved the miniature woodland scene that Gay Stewart of Miss Muffet's Miniature shop had done in a cup and bowl. I photographed her miniature project and came home to do my own version. See how I made this miniature woodland scene. I ended up finishing this project and placing it in a glass dome with wooden base and donating to the bank where my daughter works as an item to be raffled for one of their charity fund raisers.
If this is a project you would like to make, here are the directions for making a woodland scene in a cup and saucer. |
