There used to be a marvelous museum, the Carole and Barry Kaye Museum of Miniatures, on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles...I would visit often and was very sad when they closed down. Their collection has now been donated to the Naples Museum of Art in Naples, Florida. It was truly fabulous and extensive...one could spend hours and hours perusing. I see many similar items in your post.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-41552320439444682682008-01-23T02:26:00.000-05:002008-01-23T02:26:00.000-05:00My daughter would LOVE that store!
