Tammie Knight (tammiemk@sbcglobal.net) will be showcasing her unique miniature room boxes on Saturday, May 22nd at giggle at 1359 N. Main St., Walnut Creek, from 2:30 – 6:30 pm.
This is absolutely a 'Can't Miss Event'. Since Tammie was a young girl she has tinkered with all things small for countless hours. As a teenager she spent weekend after weekend visiting the Museum of the City of New York’s top floor (where the dollhouses lived). She even convinced a Madison Avenue dollhouse shop that miniatures were in her blood and in spite of her complete lack of retail experience they should hire her...and they did. Some of her most notable clients were Gene Wilder, Marlo Thomas, Dustin Hoffman, Donald Trump (she assisted in the creation of Ivanka Trump’s dollhouse), and Sotheby’s New York, to name a few.
Included here are several of the miniature cribs that Tammie creates, and many will
be available at the show! Cribs can be purchased individually or as part of miniature
room or scene. Prices range from $45 -
