news – HOUSE MINIATURES

I visited Hancock Historical Museum in Findlay Ohio today and saw my former teacher, Mrs. Deb Wickerham, who works there as an Education Coordinator.

Teaching is Mrs. Wickerham’s true passion, showcased by the fact that she retired from schooling after 32+ years. I’m very proud to have been taught by a literal Award Winning teacher (Ohio Teacher of the Year in 2008)! Not only that, but Mrs. Wickerham has also done so much for our community, especially for our American Veterans. She served as a fantastic director for Flag City Honor Flight and so forth. Amazing. I’m blessed to have had her as my teacher from 1984 to 1988 at Chamberlin Hill Elementary.

Hancock County Museum is stunning. It showcases the rich history of Findlay, Ohio with a grace I’ve never seen! Please go visit when you can!

I loved the fact that they had this grand display of the Columbian (Doll) House right in the center of the museum.

**Hancock Historical Museum also has a dollhouse for children where they can learn hands-on.**

Thank you, Mrs. W! You are everyone’s teacher and a true role model.

I returned to The Chicago International Dollhouse Miniatures Show at Marriott Chicago O’Hare, which was held annually. This general public event (organized by Tom Bishop Productions) is always a great opportunity to explore the world of miniatures; meeting other fellow enthusiasts and make new connections.

Guess who I saw there? Tara Thame of EvaRose Miniatures! I am so proud to share that Tara Thame has her gorgeous miniature room box exclusively selected for a grand display at the convention, “An Evening Soiree in Paris”! Congratulations, Tara!!
