Welcome to my world of small antiques and collectibles!  I have  integrated these items into various arrangements that tell their own stories.  These collages make unique gifts and will complement any personal home décor.  Although I lean toward a more vintage approach, any theme or motif of your choice can be utilized.

My miniature vignettes (known as “mini-vini's”) were introduced at the Amish Country Market in Noblesville, Indiana in 1994.  There are so many frame-able small antiques that can make a statement in an appropriate decorating scheme.  I turned my attention to these “smalls” at antiques shows, flea markets, garage and estate sales, and collectibles shows.  Of course, it is necessary to mix the old with some new items, and that includes the frames as well.

This cottage industry enables me to be creative with my passion for antiques.  It is a real challenge to design a lay-out in a limited space.  A popular-sized frame is 11”x14”, but even two or three small items in a 5”x7” or 8”x10” frame can be very effective.  I would be agreeable to custom-make a collage using personal items that you would provide to me to design, implementing a theme of your choice.   This would also enable me to reduce the cost of the collage to you.  These are truly creations that are “one-of-a-kind”, although occasionally I can find some similar items to attempt to re-create a previously-designed collage.

        I have selected the collages below from my inventory to display as examples of what I have designed.  Each collage is named and priced.  A good many of my collages are displayed at Janet Coffman's "Cupboard Space" shop, located at 9 W. Main Street in Carmel, Indiana's prestigious Arts & Design District.  She also placed me in a recent issue of the "Current" area newspaper!
