As a rule, I don't buy other peoples' miniatures. Having said that, I do have three pieces in my collection of about 50 in my home that were made by other miniaturists. Two (made by Joyce Buchanan and Jan Mann) are hangings that I alternate on my door throughout the year and another is a Jan Mann piece that hangs on the wall of my dining room. Both miniaturists were very early members of the Miniature Enthusiasts of Edmonton.
Well, yesterday, I added another miniaturists' work to my collection. This is a Christmas miniature done by Karen Jones who was a former member and executive of M.E.E.

| The lycopodium tree with candles and ornaments. |

| The fireplace with garland, cards and centrepiece...and the needlepoint wallhanging. |

| The chair, gift bag, and the bag of wrapping paper. |

The wrapping paper, ribbons and the wonderful little black dog with the ribbon around his neck and in his mouth.
Thank you, Karen, for your expertise and skill as a miniaturist. I'm proud to have this example of your work in my collection. |
