Miniminutia

MiniMinutia provides the discerning miniature enthusiast with quality kits and items for creating unique miniature displays.

I was born a long time ago when I was very young, and shortly thereafter, I started a mini shop on EBay. Life took over, and I closed the shop amid a series of family illnesses. As the Bible says: "And It came to pass. . . . " and I thank God for that, because it could have come to stay!

Many years later, when I actually knew something about miniatures, I started occasionally selling things I had made at our local club's annual Show and Sale. That's the Miniature Enthusiasts of Edmonton, for which I am now the workshop coordinator.

More disasters! A basement flood resulted in a complete rebuild of my workshop. In the process of putting everything away, I found myself going through drawers and boxes that hadn't seen the light of day in years! I found all of my stock from my original EBay store. I decided to start again, only this time on Etsy, adding all the new products I have made over the years for sale at the Show and Sale. .

Over the years I had many names for my minis: "The Petite Press" (for my stock of printies), "Lathey Bones" (once I took up the lathe to make turnings). or "Tina's Treasures" for other stuff I made for sale. My new shop trades under the name "Mini Minutia", where minutia is defined as the small, precise, or trivial details of something - the niceties, the finer points, or particulars. The new name thus allows me to sell anything I darn well want
