Joane Forsstrom's version of a Debbie Young Kit, "The Avalon" resonated with anyone who has ever lived in, or longed to live in a Sears Roebuck Catalog house. Although it was only one house, viewers could imagine the neighborhood from Joane's careful landscaping

Clairvue Cottage 1895, exhibited by Joan Claire Bergstrom is a highly detailed scratch built piece in 1:24 or "half" scale. The Seattle Miniature Show is a great way to follow the careers of talented miniaturists. This is a companion piece to "Clairbourne Manor" another wonderful 1:24 scale house exhibited at an earlier show.

Adrienne Hagey's Coca Cola Tin packs a lot of nostalgia in a small container. This display shows how inventive a miniaturist can be, especially when the container wasn't built to display scale miniatures. The Seattle Miniature Show highlights a number of very resourceful exhibitors.
