a short report on my visit to the Arnhem Miniatures Show - March 2012
I returned yesterday after eight days with Molly Cromwell's tour of The Netherlands & Brussels taking in the two-day Arnhem miniature show and visits to two museum exhibits of miniatures were three awe-inspiring Dutch Baby Houses beautifully made in the 1600's and amazingly preserved.

We saw some wonderful present-day miniatures at the Arnhem show including a few treasures I brought home with me as well as a cute donkey I found in a Brussels miniature shop.
Now I will have to create a scene for a couple of them. The donkey is perfect with the cart with the broken wheel purchased at the Show; my beautiful Elizabethan lady with owl is by LaBelleBrigante; my Dutch girl and baker are by Saskia Maas of Het Kleine Volk. I fell in love with her characters.
Our tour group of miniature enthusiasts were very congenial and it was a pleasure to travel with them.
