Re: My phonographs and gramophones,
Definitely welcome, Patty. Nice phonographs, sound boxes, and photos.
Love Yorkshire, BTW. Was an Overseas Student (from U.S.) at the University of York in the winter of 1977-78; back when the Univ. of York was still relatively new and small. It has grown considerably since. The City of York was and is of course magnificent, and being near to the Yorkshire Dells and the Bronte sites at Haworth was also a bonus.
I'll never forget a piece of graffiti written on the walls of Wentworth College (Univ. of York) back then: "Jimi Kendrix is alive, well, and living in Tadcaster." Wouldn't it be funny if you live in Tadcaster.

Re: My phonographs and gramophones,
Welcome Patty.
Nice collection you have, and an absolutely stunning website of miniatures!
Just yesterday I was watching my three year old playing with a horribly cheap plastic doll house her mother bought her
and thought to myself, "I should build her a fancy dollhouse and fill it with handmade miniatures".
After seeing your website, if I was ever able to build something as lovely as that it'd be locked away so she could never
get her grubbly little chocolate covered hands on it!

Re: My phonographs and gramophones,
And another warm welcome to you Patty! Splendid website you have there, and I very much enjoyed the miniatures too - really touching the way you've recreated the machines in your collection so lovingly.

Thank you.
When your daughter is older she would love a dolls house to look after I am quite sure of that!
