Miniature Dollhouse Fairs and Shows 2007

I attended the Tucson Miniature Society Show this past Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed all the amazing dollhouse creations, some shopping, and garnering ideas for the next round of Club Little House (no, I’ve no idea when or if Amy will do this—but just in case…).



This started me wondering what other miniature shows are out there. So I’ve been researching and thought I’d share my findings with you—both U.S. and international. I’m going to post the schedule in two separate posts. This one is for the balance of 2007.

At long last the parcel arrived today - my husband even emailed me at work to let me know. Then I had to work late and so just got home and opened it up now. Thank you Daisy, Amy P., Jennifer, Karen G., Keri, Anita, Crystal, Amy W., Amy Powers, Francie, Lisa and Bonni!!! Your gifts arrived and they are so special and so appreciated. I love each and every one of the littles.
