I had to share a photo I just got from my recent trip to North Carolina. We visited a toy museum, and it held about 2 or 3 dozen Victorian doll houses of different types. I'm telling you, some of these were beyond anything I could possibly imagine!! Each room had tiny accessories that were necessary back in the day right down to a laundress working in the laundry room!!

Anyway, one of the smaller and most charming ones was a Milliner's shop complete with tiny hat boxes. I'll spare your friend's page and put the photo under a cut.





and look! Madame is carrying a parasol!

That's completely adorable.
I had a friend whose mother made her a miniature of their Victorian house and her room was replicated exactly in the interior.

That's totally awesome! I can't even imagine how much time someone must have spent trimming those itty bitty hats. :D
