As 2018 draws to a close let's pause for a moment and hope that 2019 will be a good year for all of us. Let's hope that happiness transpires over sadness, that loving families and friendships will support us in our lives and that we have the wisdom to appreciate and support others.May your holiday season be a good one, whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa or another holiday,
Ms. Peggie's Place was established 29 years ago and I've been fortunate to have owned it for the past 15. The nicest people walk in here and give us the pleasure of helping them in this wonderful hobby. Along the way we get to understand how they became interested in miniatures and feel honored that they have selected our shop to support them in creating something of beauty and importance.
People come in with dollhouses they've acquired in unusual ways. Just recently a couple told us about visiting the former childhood home of the husband and being graciously invited in by the current owner. At the end of the tour the owner gave them a model of the very home they were standing in. The husband's father had made it many years ago and left it in the attic. It was remembered dimly, but its discovery opened up the doors to a new hobby for this couple.
Others have had a dollhouse for years and are just now getting around to sprucing it up. Still others consider their creation a work in progress and will never consider it finished. Some folks don't have dollhouses nor boxes but search for fittings for other reasons. We had a future grandmother and great-grandmother looking for just the right decor for a baby's room. A crib and clothing chest would be a shower gift in anticipation of the gift items in life size.
We love those who ask lots of questions as well as those who could answer them. Helping is an honor and talking about an interest so dear to us and maybe, just maybe, spreading that joy to others is a privilege we don't take lightly.
Speaking of joy, your visits to Ms. Peggie's Place have been a source of great delight to us. We appreciate your patronage. Our adage of the customer always being number one is easy to fulfill with such nice people, whom we look to more like friends. And, so, friends, we wish you and yours a year of good health and happiness in big ways, and little ways, too, and look forward to a continued relationship in 2019.
In our world of miniatures we hope your life size future will be way out of 1/12 ratio!
Cordially,
Michael Sue Nanos
Proprietor
