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.
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.

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.

I see the makings of another crossword puzzle! This one would be fiendish to put together.

That looks like such a good way to organize the props! And save space at the same time... :)
