This picture excites me in a

In order to make good on another of my New Year's resolutions (and, I am proud to say that I have made the bed every day this year; aleast, I made my own; Tootie Pie's will have to wait until 2014!), I researched Miniaturist Events. So, I am venturing into the waters of an Enthusiast, which is usually how they describe crazy people on the nightly news. Hummingbird enthusiast, petunia enthusiast, gun enthusiast. I guess I feel there is a stigma to crafting in general (although blogs are making that word hipper) and dollhouses specifically. It's just one step away from a
So Truly Real doll QVC addiction or a
Beanie Baby collector; those people are NUTS in my book.
http://karensdollhouse.com/shop/ - In Warren, NJ in April
http://mollycromwell.com/shows.htm - In Sturbridge, MA in June
http://www.newdealminiatures.com/ - In Michigan over the summer. The website misspells "entrance", so I know it's in Michigan, home of poor spellers and mixed metaphors. You can't have your cake and one in the hand. That's the coup de Ville.
http://www.philadelphiaminiaturia.com/ - On the border of NJ and Philly in November.
Has anyone been to these shows before? I have no idea what to expect. Should I join an association like NAME? Am I taking things too far?
I collect dolls too and was almost going to say hey... I am one of those nuts... but I can't say the idea of a breathing doll appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteI did like furbies, but found them annoying after 5 minutes, so don't want them to talk either!
