Weather Vane

Found the perfect little weather vane for the manor. It is a Holly Hobbie Miniature die cast metal weather vane with rotating parts! It is dated 1976, Durham Industries. The brass alloy metal goes quite nicely with the dark roof shingles.

Thank You Mary Eccher!

Today marks the fourth anniversary of my Mini Food Blog! Let me begin by thanking all the artists for sharing their works on the blog. Also, thanks to all the readers for keeping me company for the last four years.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Susan Eccher, daughter-in-law of artist Mary Eccher. Last year, Susan came across the article I had dedicated to the memory of Mary Eccher. She was touched by the tribute, and sent me a number of Mary Eccher's miniatures as gift. I never dreamed of owning Ms. Eccher's works in my collection ... these minis will always remain close to my heart.

With a five-month-old at home, I have not had much time for miniatures. Today I finally took a few photos of Ms. Eccher's minis to share on the blog on this special occasion. There are a few more items in the collection that have not been photographed.

You can learn more about the artist at Pannikins by Mary Eccher. Mary's Menus is a veritable treasure trove for mini food artists! To view these articles where Mary shares her techniques for polymer clay and resin food creations, visit: pannikins.homestead.com/new.html
