S.Mehreen Miniatures

Bought this miniature embroidery stand, but I cannot recognize the maker's mark.

My haul from the Texas Miniature Showcase 2025. It was a amazing to meet old friends and new, and walking around for hours taking in all the tiny treasures. Every time I looked, I saw something new. The hardest part is waiting one more year for the show.

The beautiful hand-embroidered lace pillow was a gift from my friend Kellie Wachter of Yankee Dimes Sewing. From Creative Hollow, I got the preserve jars, pie, doll, teddy bear, paint palette and brushes, bone carved elephant, tiny bird, shells basket, embroidery set, and a beautiful petit point framed picture. The bigger cross stitched square was done by Granny B's Bonnie Ferguson. The resin baskets and Kathy Tepper burlwood vase are from Miniature Designs. Tea cups and book from Betinha Murta Miniatures. Frogs from Brown's Miniatures. Mirrored etagere from Sandra M. A. Manring. And finally, the 1:144 furniture kits are from Volker Arnold of V A Holzkunst.

For years, I kept my miniatures in their boxes waiting for the day when my dollhouse was perfectly decorated with wallpaper, lights, tiles and all; but I haven't been able to decide how to decorate my house. So I have taken out a part of my collection and placed them in my unfinished dollhouse. It's not perfect, but seeing my tiny treasures makes me happy.

Today's loot from the Texas Miniature Showcase! The baby doll is by Camille Allen, and the cat is by Karl Blindheim.

Miniature musical instuments with mother of pearl inlay. The label under the piano says it was made in Mexico. While the other items are unmarked and bought at different times, they all seem to be made in the same style.

I saw a Taller Targioni gramophone at the Dallas Miniature Showcase two years ago, and forever regretted not buying it at the time. Finally found this gem on Facebook.
