Welcome To The Wonderful World of Dollhouse Miniatures!
Miniatures can be enjoyed by people of all ages and income, imagination is what really counts! Miniatures give us the opportunity to own and create many items we may never hope to enjoy in full size. They can educate us about history, customs, people and so much more!
When first starting out I suggest visiting a miniatures shop if there is one nearby, this will allow you to see what is available and what costs to expect. Next, start exploring the internet, this website is a good place to start. I offer a variety of resources to help you along your miniature way, including free projects and printables! Visit the Dollhouse Gallery for inspiration or search the Miniatures Directory to find just what you are looking for. Don't forget to take a look at My Minis, the Miniatures Swap Photos, the Miniature Trash to Treasures and My Miniature Dolls.
I also recommend joining an online miniatures enthusiasts group. Joining an online group will put you in touch with others who share your enthusiasm for miniatures and will increase your enjoyment of and knowledge about the hobby.
