I will have to break this into several posts for you to be able to appreciate this treasure.
For the last fifteen years I have passed this store several times when in Greenville, South Carolina never noticing it or knowing of the treasures within.
When you pass these on the shelf on the actual front porch you get the feeling there may just be a mini lover within.
This is the view as soon as you walk into the store and look to your right.
This is one of the first houses in my view
I walked behind it to see this set up. Miniature train and all!
Karen, a mini-lover for over 40 years,was happy to explain the history of the houses. This house was first built for a customer in 1981 who returned it recently to have it refurbished for her granddaughter.
Look at all of those rooms to decorate!
View #1 of the front of the largest house in the house.
EVERYTHING in this house was HANDCRAFTED! The furniture was hand made by a craftsman from Africa.
Can you imagine the work that went into paneling those walls? These kind of details are evident in all of his work.
View #2 the other end. I love that little door!
Keep looking for parts two and three. I think I can squeeze it all within three posts.

Great post! I'm glad you finally went inside. There is something about going inside a miniature store that always makes you want to do one yourself. I am now motivated to get started on my house. I hope that motivation last longer than it takes for me to push the Publish button below. LOL!

DeleteWhat a great find! The houses are beautiful and the love that goes into them shows. Oh how I would love one for my grand daughter, but I'll no doubt end up with it myself. Lol. Waiting to see your next posts! Thanks!
