I purchased these two crate shelves very inexpensively at a craft show.
They originally were meant for tapes.
I hung them up and arranged similar items on each shelf.

These brass and glass shelf units are great. I have several.
They keep the dust off everything, yet you can still view everything.

This is another shadowbox I purchased at a craft show.
The different shaped sections make an interesting arrangment.

I had my Dad build this case for me. I had originally planned on putting Precious Moments in it, but my minis were taking over. It makes a great display for many different groupings with a wide variety of themes.

Here are various items I've collected with a nautical theme. I hand-carved and painted the zebra rocking horse.

I made the green trunk on the left and a lot of the other items in both rooms are from Wright Guide Minis.

Here are some Early Americana type minis and on the right are a few of the items for a barn scene. I also made the canvas covered trunk on the right, from a kit.

Most of the gas station items are from Wright Guide. The rocking horse and Victorian house on the right are Hallmark Christmas ornaments.

More gas station items from Wright Guide and
I made the baby and layette on the right.

Most of the tools are by Sir Thomas Thumb.

I purchased this typesetters drawer in Hannibal, MO. It was completely black with dirt and grime. It took a lot of cleaning the wood and polishing the brass connectors to get it clean, but it was worth the effort. After cleaning and stripping off all the black, I just gave it a coat of wax, and the beautiful patina of the piece showed through. It took quite a while to go through my miniature "inventory" to find things that fit in the small and narrow spaces, but eventually I got them all filled. It's a great dust collector too!

I found these small square shadowboxes in the frame section at Target.
I put some of my favorite pieces in them. Simple, yet they look great.

I purchased this picket fence corner shelf at a craft shop.
I painted and stained it, then placed related items on each shelf.

I made this shadowbox for my Mom for Christmas 1999.
I made the doll "Bonnie" and also the tiny dolly to match.
The teddy bear I made from a kit by Emily Farmer.
The tiny picture is a wedding portrait of my Mom and Dad.

All the weapons are by Cliff Feltrope.
