Thinking Small
















Small stuff ... everyone tells you "don't sweat the small stuff." And yet, we seem to be eternally fascinated with things of a minor note. Chidlren's toys are often miniatures of the real thing, be it a train set or doll house. Beyond that, folks who painstakingly reproduce things in tiny scale leave us in awe.

Why is that? We can all appreciate the significance of new life being smaller than the adult versions. One can see how much effort goes into something like building a ship in a bottle. You can hardly expect your granddaughter to move the livingroom furniture around, so we provide her with a doll house and pint-size funishings. Dolls, too, be they fashionistas or 'army men.'

Whatever the reason, a new exhibit in the Headquarters at Fort Walla Walla Museum can supply you with that awe and the opportunity to contemplate smallness. THINK small features scores of items made in miniature. There's a world of possibility waiting for you.
