They also sent lovely postcards from their respective hometowns. We live in a very culture-rich area (American Revolution, Civil War, George Washington's home, not to mention that we live 12 miles from the capital of the United States), but somehow I just could not get my act together to include postcards. I had big hopes and lots of culture-based ideas for things to send, but in the end, I sent only miniatures. I can get paralyzed by details, and I knew I would never get the miniatures in the mail if I veered off on a tangent. Alas, perhaps if Jo hosts a culture swap in a couple of months...

Oh my! My "kid" would LOVE those tiny cooking utensils! Especially the rolling pin. So cute!
Where do you find those adorable miniatures?!
Hi Shannon,
They're actually dollhouse miniatures that I got from a local hobby shop. I'm just starting my collection and don't have a lot of miniatures to share, so I tried to look for items that came in groups of three or more (oranges, eggs, etc.) so that I could keep one for my own collection, too! :)
This is such a great idea! Thanks for the idea!
