Miniature Mania II

In Miniature Mania (Part I) I told the story of half my collection of Dollshouses and miniatures and, as my son said, the ink was scarcely dry on that when I was asked about Part II. So here it is. This part of the collection is more eclectic, and includes more recent examples of houses, as indeed Valerie Jackson Douet does in her Dollhouses: A Collectors' Guide. I have also been influenced by a wonderful Museum of Childhood near Llangeler on the Cardiganshire border, and over many years of visits we have been fascinated by the toys representing decades of childhood, up to the present day. I hope this will be enjoyed as much as Part I which Celia Thomas of KTminiatures described as a gem and an inspiration.
