At the Show - Miniature Shop Holiday Offerings

The Good Sam Show dealers in this week's blog have "brick and mortar" stores. They specialize in the retail sale of dollhouses and fine miniatures from international artisans and craftsmen. Their offerings include a less expensive line appropriate for a child's "first time" dollhouse. It is a wonderful way to give a beloved little one something to cherish for a long time to come. At this Holiday time of the year, we are reminded that the beauty of this hobby is that it truly can be for everyone. No special skills required. When doing your "mini" Christmas shopping, take a look at these stores.

The Princess Anne makes a perfect gift for a child. About $250. (Less expensive dollhouses are also available.) From Shellie's Miniatures Mania, 650-593-4921, shelliesminis@msn.com
