My World in Miniature

My first blog ever...Where my passion for miniatures came from.
I created my little world as a child.  It was clean and safe, with nice people and pretty things to wear.
The reality was a nightmare and the pretty clothes were worn gloves that I cut the fingers off and hung on "hangers" made from straight pins. The house was an old shoe box I'd found. What a magical place this was in the eyes of an eight year old! My escape....my little treasures.
I'd sit for hours with the Sears catalog and with pen and paper I'd make pages and pages of all the things I'd buy for it when I grew up. Catalog #'s..page #'s..item descriptions...down to the toothbrush holder! Soft sheets and fluffy towels, a far cry from my mattress on the floor and the towel we all shared.
It was all in my head...my wonderful little world.  Now I have a blessed life.  My husband is an amazing sculptor.  I met him when he was showing a friend a chair he had made out of a stick of chalk! It had tiny button backs...spindled legs and painted the color of wood.  I asked if he had ever heard of dollhouse miniatures. We've been together ever since.
We just opened our web store...ladywithaunicorn.com where we've gathered beautiful works from all over the world.  We also carry Bespaq at wonderful prices.  As we grow, so will our sight.
We also have a store on Etsy...etsy.com/shop/smullin2.
Miniaturists are some of the nicest people we've ever met.  I'm sure they lived in my fantasy little world.
Blessings always,
Sharon
