I'm so glad to see the photos.<br />And of course, there should be a tea party for Susan's book release. Hubby gifted me with a copy for my birthday last year and I am ready top read it again - after I read and dream through Tasha Tudor's Dollhouse. I am so happy to have won the book and thank Cathy again for her generosity in hosting the give-away.Elainehttp://www.elaineweger.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-123173283552907302014-01-25T08:14:03.013-05:002014-01-25T08:14:03.013-05:00For me, too, Sandy. ☺For me, too, Sandy. ☺Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-42985044430893479622014-01-25T08:12:25.419-05:002014-01-25T08:12:25.419-05:00Loved seeing Sharon's log cabin!!

The thing you need to do is not have too big of a house...that will force you to stop...unless, of course, you decide to add-on. I put mine in a cabinet and adding on wouldn't look right. :-) I have to pass up things I see because I don't have room for them anymore.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-77449874517761563002014-01-24T20:23:41.630-05:002014-01-24T20:23:41.630-05:00I'm very glad to do it and hope others will sh...I'm very glad to do it and hope others will share their miniatures either here or on their own Blogs.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-37440499983909477872014-01-24T20:13:34.339-05:002014-01-24T20:13:34.339-05:00Cathy, I have tried to avoid collecting dollhouses...Cathy, I have tried to avoid collecting dollhouses and miniatures,but it's getting more and more difficult, especially after seeing my cousins fantastic antique dollhouses on the Corgyncombe Courant Blog. My mother made about 20 dollhouses, and I haven't taken one yet.. I am rethinking it. It just looks like such an all consuming habit... but one I could easily get addicted to. Just look at all that adorable stuff in that cabin!<br />jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-4627320626798392732014-01-24T20:10:17.144-05:002014-01-24T20:10:17.144-05:00Cathy, thank you for posting these wonderful minia...Cathy, thank you for posting these wonderful miniatures!

He did build a 3-ft. model houseboat with cutaways for Cave Run Lake marina to use at travel shows to promote rentals. He recently completed a wooden model of the whaling ship, Charles W. Morgan, and currently is building a model submarine Gato-class that was used by America against Japan in WWII.
