Tiny things were sold individually so you could choose what you want to fill in to your little birth of Christ shed.


small items for sale


little houses


miniature baskets


There were also other livestocks and daily chores replicating the life of that century.

miniature animals


miniature farm animals


miniature ducklings


Can you imagine how tiny these ducklings were?

Let me show you an adult miniature rabbit in hand ratio.
