The Miniature Cottage Doll's House
This is Pippin Lodge. Teresa Layman built this comfy
little dwelling in a class given by the amazing miniaturist Rik
Pierce at the Philadelphia Miniaturia show in 2003. After
the class was over, Teresa took the hobbit house home and added
details to suit her own vision.
One part of that vision was a little hooked rug
to lie in front of the fireplace. Well, that was the beginning…
the need for a little hooked rug, paired with lots of encouragement
from family and friends, has grown into the needlework business,
Teresa Layman Designs.
Pippin Lodge is now part of the Kathleen Savage
Browning Miniatures Collection and will reside in the Kentucky
Gateway Museum Center in Maysville, Kentucky 41056.
