This is the tiniest diorama of a beautiful lady and a handsome gentleman enjoying a gorgeous day in a park of days gone past. It may be my favorite piece of my mini museum not only because of its teeny tinyness but because of it's story. I was standing outside of a record store in Capitol Hill where this 7 year old boy was having a "yard sale". I instantly fell in love with the miniature diorama and asked him how much it cost. He said "Twenty five dollars." I was both shocked and impressed at the same time. Twenty five dollars seemed a little steep to me but more importantly, I admired the boy's entrepreneurial abilities. I told him I'd give him one dollar for it and he seemed pleased as punch. It was the best dollar I ever did spend.
