    Looks closed. I passed by several times this week and it appears empty with no outside maintenance.

    This shop has some absolutely beautiful doll houses on display. Many are quite old, in very good…read moreshape, one of a kind, huge. A few are new, smaller and also unique in style. Her inventory also includes a variety of collectible dolls, a few books about doll houses and some parts you may need for repairs. The inside is stuffed full. It looks more like a storage room than a show room. The owner did mention since the lock down a lot of her items made their way into the shop and she hasn't moved them out again yet. She is the sole proprietor, states she travels to trade shows around the country and does repair work to doll house and dolls. One house she is working on she mentioned the owner asked her to 'make it cute' without giving further details on what 'cute' means to them, and the work she did was not well received, now the owner wants her to 'fix' it. She also mentioned as she is doing the work herself, she has quite a back log of projects currently. When we first arrived she began telling us about herself, her state of health, her projects, life experience and so on. Very personal information you'd talk about with close friends over coffee. She also took some time showing us the doll houses on display. Many of them are in the thousands of dollars range. After a while we were able to ask her some questions about a project we are working on and although she did not have any items to purchase for the project, she did spend some time with us going over the details and giving advice which was very kind and much appreciated. You can tell she really does enjoy her medium and considers herself an artist. The awning over the entrance to the store is not in good repair at the moment and she mentioned she may be leaving this location as the rents are going up so I'm not sure how much longer this little shop will be here. If you want to see and perhaps purchase some really interesting doll houses and collectible dolls, get on over there before it's too late!

    These 'half timber' doll houses are *so* cute. These are for 'display', not play.
