Taking Control… Learning Contentment
Yes, my dad is still doing miniatures, and I’m getting behind in posting because he just completed another one after this! At age 83 I continue to be amazed at his patience and dexterity.
This one seemed more difficult to photograph. But this little cafe is pretty cute. You can almost imagine it full of folks relaxing, enjoying coffee and a snack, while reading a book and listening to some cool jazz!

Wow! I’m blown away! I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like making one of these! It reminds me of the Playmobil sets I loved playing with as a child but far more detailed.
