First stop JB Miniatures display with Greg (Gonzo) - I introduced myself and we chatted some. Apparently what he had was only about a third of the line there on display. I was thrilled with my purchases - a tufted red leather chair, a tapestry chair, and while not JBM, palm trees by Bill Lankford.
I next found Sophia Twaddle of Small Treasures Miniatures. She had so many well done things from artisans around the world....it was hard to pick just a few!
A new artist I've not seen before was at the show - BB Miniatures. Her hand painted miniatures truly are beautiful and pop in any room! The needlepoint is a work from a friend of hers, and I couldn't pass it up!.
Another artisan I haven't seen before is Tara Thame of Eva Rose Miniatures. She does 1/12 scale miniature lighting pieces, as well as other accessories. What caught my eye are some pieces of artwork she crafted based on her father's real life paintings. I had to get a few of those. She offers the picture, and a couple of uncut mats to go with it. I did some frame shopping too...not all done yet of course.
The Little Dollhouse Company didn't disappoint. Their display was much more spread out than usual, allowing you to really look at their wares.
Spencer's Nook called to me as well - for my indoor Sunroom/Conservatory (which is where I will put the palm trees I purchased into pots and locate there also).
