This kit contains fabric, pattern, needle, thread, eyes, and stuffing for a 3 1/2” jointed bear. The kit is available in beige with brown pads or white with gray pads. Please specify color when ordering. The hat and scarf shown in the photo are not included. The accessories in the photo are one inch to one foot scale and are shown for size comparison.
This bear is great when used in a miniature room with a Teddy Bear theme. It is especially cute dressed. For a smaller bear just reduce the pattern before cutting out the pieces.
In rustic reclaimed brown & vintage red, we are a fine pair of leather journals for the neck.
Open us up and you’ll find we are real, usable miniature books, with 60 tea-stained pages on which to draw little things, write short stories or your own little secret script. Hand-torn, our beautiful pages have been stitched with archival linen thread to ensure we last a lifetime.
Mr. Chocolate measures 2 x 3 cm, while Ms. Rouge is extra tiny at a mere 2 x 1 ½ cm. We are both fitted with wee leather ties so your creations won’t run off in the night.
We hang from an antique bronze mother-son link chain which secures with a lobster clasp. Our total length of 16 ½ inches (23 when outstretched), means you can read, wear and admire us all at once. We sit comfortably, and make a fabulous addition to any outfit.
Mrs. James Ward Thorne of Chicago loved dollhouses and miniatures as a child. After traveling in Europe where she collected miniature furniture and accessories, Mrs. Thorne commissioned over two dozen miniature rooms created by cabinetmakers from her own drawings. The scale is: one inch to one foot. The rooms were exhibited in the 1933-1934 Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition, the 1939 San Francisco's Golden Gate International Exposition, and in the 1940 New York World's Fair.
Later, Mrs. Thorne had 29 more rooms created, copying Europe's castles, museums and historic homes. She commissioned architects to create historically accurate settings and had the textiles and carpets made by the Needlework Guild of Chicago. The rooms showing the French and English architectural and decorating styles from the 1500's to the 1920's, were exhibited in 1937 at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1942 Mrs. Thorne gave 37 more Miniature Rooms to the Art Institute of Chicago. Those rooms offered views of American history between 1875 and 1940. The Art Institute of Chicago's Thorne Miniature Rooms exhibit of 68 individual rooms is said to be the world’s largest miniature room collection.
