TV Sets book: The book that I have found to be very useful in creating miniature roomboxes of some of my favorite TV show sets is "TV Sets: Fantasy Blueprints of Classic TV Homes" by Mark Bennett. This book is now being sold by Edward R. Hamilton Books (website http://www.EdwardRHamilton.com) for a very low price of $6.95. It contains floor plans for the Petrie house from the Dick VanDyke Show; the Addams Family; I Love Lucy; the Honeymooners; and many others --40 floor plans in all.

Lee Valley Tools: (my favorite "toy" store) has several books with diagrams of furniture-- Victorian, Shaker and Mission to name a few. I highly recommend surfing their site: http://www.leevalleytools.comThey have all sorts of good stuff for miniers including the iron-on veneer I used in my castle tower and "watchcases" which are small metal tins with glass lids. In their "new products" section you can find "Microbrush applicators."

Handmade Rocking horses: The absolute best and most authentic handmade rocking horses I have seen are each individually carved and painted by Karen Fitzhenry from the UK. She uses real leather for the tack and shaves it very thin so it stays in scale. Her designs are authentic and working in everyway -- and varied -- not only does she have the common bowed rocking horses but she has Victorian safety stand horses, lovely pushorses, and hobby horses and more - -- check out her website at: http://www.karenfitzhenry.com
