About Libby

Like many others, I've been an admirer of dollhouse miniatures for years. After all. who doesn't like tiny little things? My mother and my grandmother both collected dollhouse miniatures, but I lacked the time necessary to do any serious collecting or building of dollhouses until recently. 

I retired from a full-time career in higher education in 2021. After that, I devoted my time to building my laser arts and crafts business. Then at Christmastime in 2022,  I wanted to make something unique to gift to my mother. I knew she loved miniatures and she also collected antique advertising items. It was then that I got the idea to make miniature advertising boxes for her. She loved them...and so did I. Then it hit me - what other miniatures might I be able to make? As it turns out, I could make a lot!  I now make and sell miniature items under the brand Miniatures by Libby. 

I began researching and learning about other miniature artisans. I was particularly drawn to the miniatures made in the 1970s - 1990s. So, that is the era on which I focus my collection and my miniature resale business.

In a few short months, I was addicted. Full on, addicted! My husband likes to tell me, "You have an addiction, but it's okay because it's a miniature one." And, he's right you know. 

P.S. I am also a children's book author. You can view information about my books at ShiningHopeAdventures.com
