The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. May 20. 199S Small Wonders Miniature Club Presents A Big Show of Small Houses by Lorraine Manfredo Staff Writer This weekend, the Small Wonders Miniature Club will squeeze a dozen houses, a church, and at least nine vendors into Bowmanville's Memorial Park Clubhouse. The club's Mini-Show and Sale is this Sunday, May 24th, from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. It's an event that should be quite an attraction for our area, says the club's Shirley Stewart. "It will appeal to anyone anyone who collects or is interested in miniatures of any kind," be it houses, dolls, teddy bears or trains. Admission price of $3 allows visitors an inside look at a display featuring contributions from 12 members, plus a collection of of dollhouses and accessories accessories from the Bowmanville Museum. There will be miniature porcelain dolls, miniature furniture, miniature food items and flowers, miniature miniature needlepoint pillows, wall-bangings and many other interesting items. In previous years, the local club has hosted a "Show and Tea," but this is the first time they've invited invited vendors and arranged for a cabinet maker to give a working demonstration on a mini-lathe making small furniture. After taking in the show, the hosts invite you to linger a while over a bowl of chili or dessert and refreshments. Happy Home Makers Miniature builders are architects, electricians, furniture builders and interior interior decorators who get a big thrill doing things on a small scale. With seven houses, Shirley Stewart still dreams of more. One of her most cherished pieces is a genuine antique, a turn-of-lhc-cenlury dollhouse dollhouse she inherited from her grandmother. It opens up like a wardrobe to reveal rooms that she recently re-did in Victorian decor. Researching authentic period decor from wallpaper wallpaper prints to carpet colors is part of the hobby's appeal. "Miniature building is not just about the houses," says Shirley, "it keeps you interested in decor and history history and furniture styles." Cynthia Larmoulh, is another member. Her collection collection so far includes two houses -- one old-fashioned old-fashioned and one with contemporary contemporary decor. "It's sort of like realizing realizing a dream of what you would like your own house to be," she says. Cynthia jokes about needing a bigger apartment apartment to accommodate her workshop, and she certainly certainly isn't the only one get- Flying Fish Touch Down NETWORKING - Lynn Lunt hands Ron White another another fish for an art installation currently brightening up the atrium at the Courticc Community Complex.

Brisk walking can be a great stress reducer. Give it a try! At the turn of the century, the top causes of death were pneumonia, flu and tuberculosis.
