mini dream come true

Not long after I discovered my love of miniatures I saw a wine and cheese table featured in a a mini magazine. It was made by Janet Uyetake and was for sale at the Good Sam show in California. I knew I would never make it to that show, but was in love with Janet's work none the less. I saw her stuff come up for sale on e-bay from time to time and drooled over it, but never bought anything because it was out of my price range. My only hope was to snag a bargain on e-bay one day. I never dreamed that in a few years I would move to Hawaii and have a chance to meet Janet and add some of her much coveted work to my collection. Above is a wine cellar vignette I put together featuring some of Janet's work and some of my own. Janet made the wine and cheese tray on the table and the basket of grapes and wine on the stone step. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that would happen. Now all that is left is to move somewhere Rik Pierce holds classes, then I can die a happy woman!
