Elsbeth Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 That was a really charming read. I really identify with the quote about "reading books by older women I would never meet". I remember miniatures feeling a bit solitary in the 70s - even though it was a big hobby at that time. It just wasn't shared much where I was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Nice article. I'd forgotten how much I liked to read The Atlantic in years gone by. I've subscribed to the free newsletter. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minilover62 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Excellent article, I wonder what happened with her dollhouse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrockgirl18 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks for sharing! I love the quote about making worlds, not just scaled objects. I've always compared my making dollhouses to an author who creates a whole new world, like JK Rowling or L. Frank Baum or JRR Tolkien- I just use tangible materials instead of words. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
