May 7, 2016I will be attending the Moncton Doll and Miniature Show in Riverview, NB on March 7, 2016. I will have some new products, mostly saddles and other horsey items but there will be some other items for the non-horsey set as well. I'd better get cracking! For those interested, the address is 5 Fatima Drive, Riverview, NB from 10:00 am-5:00 pm.

April 9-10, 2016The 18th Annual Shearwater Hobby Show took place and was a success despite the snow we received Sunday morning. Saturday was busy with wonderful displays and fabulous weather. The venue was changed from years past, taking place at the Sea King Club, not far from the Museum. This will likely be the new home of the show since the museum has less space now that it has acquired a new airplane for its exhibit area.

At the last minute, I decided to attend the Moncton Doll and Miniature Show and Sale in Riverview, NB. There was a good turnout and I made some good sales there. It was a lovely day, weather-wise, for the first time in a long time. I also saw some Camp Mini Ha Ha friends who I usually only see once a year so it was nice to catch up. Unfortunately, having forgotten my camera, I don't have any photos to share so I'll put one of my sold items up. There was much interest in them and I sold two sets of snowshoes so I don't have any more at present. April 11-12, 2015
The 17th Annual Shearwater Hobby Show will once again feature the talents of local modelers and miniaturists with displays and sales tables. There is literally something for every kind of collector. When you're not looking at the model/mini displays, you can take in the full size aircraft in the space. The hours of the show are 10:00 am to 4:00 pm both days and there is a model contest on Saturday. The admission is $5.00/person and $12/family. All proceeds will be donated to the museum. http://www.shearwateraviationmuseum.ns.ca/modelshow.htm September 24-29, 2014

December 1, 2012Every year for the past five years at the end of September, I go to a miniaturists' retreat in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia for five days along with some 25-30 other women. This past September, we had a special guest, Jackie Torrens, come and interview us for Maritime Magazine, and who recently aired her piece on what she experienced there with us. Here is the link:
