When I was young, I used to collect miniatures - especially miniature china. For many years the collection was displayed in a "letter box" on my wall, but for the last while everything had been packed away in a box in the top of my cupboard.
Recently in a photo on one of the doll forums, I saw in the background someone was using one of those compartmentalized plastic boxes to store their props! What a great idea! So yesterday I bought two of those boxes at Michaels, and then started unpacking my miniature collection. There were lots of vases, tea sets, china dishes, cutlery, a whole set of "birthday flowers" tea cups and saucers - even blown glass wine glasses. I added my eraser food too - might as well have everything together.

There's still plenty of larger items that are too big to fit in these boxes, but they can go in my larger shoe boxes. At least now I'll have easy access, and lots of choices, when taking pictures of my smaller dolls. I don't know why I never thought of using my miniature collection sooner.
