sewing room was dedicated to New England Village buildings. Fortunately, I located
old vintage plant crates in which I could arrange each vignette. The crates were
screwed to each ladder rung to insure stability of each vignette. The challenge
was to incorporate visual and automated features which always require additional
wiring and transformers; i.e, the lighthouse has an intermittent flashing beacon;
the smoke house features smoke coming out of the chimney, etc. When dusting, each
vignette has be taken outside and each item dusted singly with an artist's brush,
a huge chore. | Captain's
