Greetings!
We're up to our chins in clover this month with this issue on landscaping in miniature. The abundance of resources provided by our talented writers and researchers at The Mini Time Machine and NAME should give you many hours of enjoyment indoors and out.
Talented IGMA artist, Era Pearce, is featured in our garden video highlight. Her miniature plant creations are indescribably beautiful. Era's husband, Bob, has also contributed to the museum's magnificent miniature landscapes and we are grateful to them both for their talent and support of the museum.
Others thinking outside the room box this month include NAME Club librarian Cindy Ayala, who's fabulous tips on finding just the right project are great. Plus, there's a comfy cottage garden to explore, a garden trellis to build, a mysterious miniature by Bill Lankford to puzzle over, and a glimpse at the world of terrariums and tiny living environments.
Hug a tree, stop and smell the roses, and have a whole bunch of fun with nature miniatures this summer.
All the best,
Nina Daldrup
Executive Director

Cultivating a Lasting Relationship
We understand the uncertainty our donors are facing as fluctuations in consumer confidence and the world economy persist. It is important to remember that estate planning and planned giving will continue even as we face economic change. The history of American philanthropy dates back to our roots in Colonial times and is as widespread and enduring as the branches of our National Tree, the mighty Oak.
There are many opportunities during the remainder of this year for those who wish to make a charitable gift to the museum. We nurture your interest and support for The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures because we know our future is in your hands, and we are grateful for the seeds of stability you have sown for generations to come.
Thank you! |
