This is so cool. I've thought of lots more minis in my house. II' need to 
find a display case of some kind and gather them.

Greg,
You got the idea. First a Printers Box, is what was used a long time ago to
place letters, like a, b, c, and all the rest, in a drawer that has a handle
that a printer pulled out and formed the words with the letters onto a press
to ink and print newspapers and all kinds of typeset materials. A mini is
anything that is smaller than original made. There is a scale, that can be
1/12 or one twelve inch to orginal size but there is one inch to one inch.
Think of model trains. Remember feeling the big trains, and they got samller
and smaller? A mini is anything you display that is a memory like the small
slinky. Hope that helps a little.

That is a neat idea! Now, just what is a printer's box? I wouldn't know one
if it ran me over lol. I have a miniature dresser for a doll's house given
to me by my cousins when I was a kid. I bet they have forgotten it! I also
have an apple about an inch tall that has a worm inside. I wish I had more!
What is mini? Anything small? I have a teaset too! Forgot about that thing
and a small slinky. Is that mini?

I know we have been sharing mini ideas on list, and I want to share an idea
that can be done by everyone who is interested, if you are not, Delete here
now. This is a wonderful project that builds thru the years. It is so
adorable. First the nicest thing to use is an old fashion Printers Box,
which you can find cheaply at thrift stores or antique shops. Clean and
restain it if needed. Then start collecting. Place a wire on two screws to
hang your box, but you can also use all types of wall shelfs and anything
that holds small items. Let me suggest some ideas about minis. You all
probably all rady have a lot of these without knowing it, and once you start
you will find all types of things to fill your mini box with. Look at your
keychains, these are minis, charms and jewelry pieces are minis. Little
things that you get along the way of life, like on a cocktail stirrer are
minis. I have a box made up of mini games that were put out a few years ago
like Scrabble, Mouse Trap, the game of Life, that were keychains, and when
you take off the chain you have mini games, and inside are all the mini
playing pieces. Before you know it, your box will be filled with life
memories.
