Accessorize!

These pieces are perfect for adding that special touch to your finished frame or hoop from our Stitchery Paraphernalia section or as "stand alone" items for your collection. They are exquisitely handcrafted in 1inch = 1foot scale and, where ever possible, the miniatures work as the real, full-size article and are worthy of your scrutiny with a magnifying glass. Normally, these items are in our inventory. On occasion, however, a particular piece may be out of stock. If an out-of-stock item is ordered, please keep in mind that they are handcrafted to order by the artisans and consequently, delivery can take as long as a couple of months. In that event, a 50% deposit is required.
