NAME Day 2015: Window Shopping


On October 3, 2015, nine members of the Omaha-Council Bluffs Miniature Guild gathered together to put together the "Window Shopping" 2015 NAME Day kit. There were three sizes of kits available: 1:12, 1:24, and 1:48.


The kits were made to fit into frames, so you can display your miniatures as a store front.


Once again, Edna Perkins hosted the event and made sure everyone had a wonderful time. We all thank you, Edna!


There was some serious concentration going on, but also a lot of fun:


Here are two finished kits that were made as examples. The first is a 1:12 Valentine's Day display:


And here is a 1:48 cake shop display:


The kits for next year's NAME Day have recently been announced, and they look great. I'm sure OCBMG will have a lovely event again for next year's Bunk & Trundle Bed:
