My first dollhouse was built for me by my father in 1977.  It was the Fantasy Island House from the popular TV show and the kit was made by S/W Crafts, Inc.  The kit is a replica of the Queen Anne House that sits at the Los Angeles Arboretum and botanical gardens where the show was originally filmed.  I still have the house to this day and I love it.  The house was boxed up until I stepped into Bearly Big Enough miniature store owned by Susie Lim in the late 80’s.  Susie re-introduced me to the wonderful world of mini’s and I have never looked back.  Suzie also introduced me to the N.A.M.E. day event Folsom Fiesta.  When I learned that it was not a Fiesta in downtown Folsom, I couldn't wait to sign up and join the club.  Unfortunately, Folsom Fiesta ended in 2015 and it will definately be missed!
