2006 update:  I've decided to give up trying to maintain a full supply of stock, because I keep on making new things, and there just aren't enough hours in the day. So although I have put prices on items, I probably won't be able to supply them.  However, twice  year (fall and spring) I'll list whatever I have been able to produce, and it will be first come, first served. If  you would like to receive a notice when this list comes out, please e-mail me. And in spite of this new policy, I will always be interested in hearing comments on what I make, and suggestions for the future.  I will also continue to make kits and booklets.

Toys in Miniature: Frances Armstrong

Toys for dolls

When I started this business in 1979, I did indeed make mostly toys, and I've kept the name "Toys in Miniature" even though I make much more than toys these days.  I can always argue that the word "toys" meant "trinkets," for adults, and we still toy with ideas, if nothing else. Lately I've been making more things in 1/144 scale, like this Toyshop on the right, which fits into a matchbox.  You could say that these are toys for dolls' dolls.

62.1.Miniature village with houses, church and trees, made with a variety of woods.  Buildings are about 1/4 inch high. Comes in wooden box.  [$15; one is nearly available.]

Climbing bear (hang it up and pull on the ends of the string). Carved from wood of various kinds.  [Some usually available: $5 each.].
