A Vintage Favorite

And I sold it!
Which was the
point after all.
But how silly,
I miss it :(
Just a little
vintage, dresser,
hand made and
distressed
in the 60's
or so, antique
wooden ABC
blocks, and
handmade vintage
clay animals.

Vintage Miniatures

In the early 1970's my mother and her best friend were part of the growing frenzy of adults collecting miniatures. Over the course of a year or two, they each collected and furnished a two story house complete with electricity! Being in grade school at the time, I was enthralled with this mini world and began a modest collection of my own, ranging from tiny hand crafted wonders to inexpensive hobby store finds, some of which I kept and (finally!) turned into these trinket boxes. And if my parents had a computer (how is not having one even possible?!) I would have had my mom send me shots of her mini house, which she still has, and into which I still gaze, pretending I'm small, wandering around its wonderful treasures.
(Okay, so maybe I don't do that part of it any more, but it sounded so blog poetic!)
