Another day as MiniJoyMonth on Instagram unfolds. So fun to have a whole group of miniaturists sharing their work!  (Be sure to join in or follow along with host @vintagedollhouseshop and look for the tag #minijoymonth2026. * See my Instagram page and friend me at cwrite12. )  

*Click photos for full size.

* For this blog, I'll share all my posts on the Day 1 post here.

Today's Prompt: Books & Stories

* Top: The Miniature Gothic Library (See more photos here.)

Below: the Gothic bookcase in the library. (Kit from SDK Miniatures.)

*******************************

As a writer by profession, I always have lots of stories to share. 


 I've written a couple miniatures how-to books (one is out of print but I may re-release it as a Best of...) - The current co-authored book is still available: Dollhouse Decor & More...

I also like to write short stories, often horror and mystery-related. If you like to read, you can see some of the book covers on the side columns of this blog or visit my website for descriptions.

As it relates to miniatures, of course I've made several miniature bookstores and libraries, and always have books in most of my scenes and houses. A house without dogs or  books (and no backwards facing books like those decorators use!) is pretty empty, I think.

There's even a bookcase with freebie books in the back of my Half-scale Diner in my mansion.
