May 16, 2023 EP 43- The Philadelphia Miniaturia and all the things it offers!
Today's 'Mini Chat' is with Cathy Miller-Vaughan- the mastermind behind the Philadelphia Miniaturia!
Cathy shares how her miniature journey started in 1990, when the Pat Bauder, the previous show owner, asked her if I would like to
earn a few extra bucks for three days at the Philadelphia Miniaturia! What an amazing opportunity. Fast Forward several years, Cathy is not the owner of the Show!
As the new show owner, her goals are to bring back that excitement that she had as a teenager, the kindness and compassion of people, and the joy felt from
this industry. She shares how there is a “vibe” about a miniature show. It’s not something that can be described, it can only be experienced.
The Philly Show, November 3, 4, & 5. 2023. Here is all the details so you can book now! www.PhiladelphiaMiniaturia.com

June 20, 2022 EP 38- For the love for miniatures- an interview with Kate Esme Ünver
Listen to my 'mini' chat with Kate Esme Ünver, author of The Book of Mini: Inside the Big World of Tiny Things. In The Book of Mini, she selects hundreds of pieces of mini artwork and organizes them into sections on tiny food, pottery, extreme micro scale and more. The book also includes interviews with collectors and artists exploring their methods, influences, and how they came to adore everything mini. Its a must-have book for the tiny lover in your life.
In 2012, Kate launched the ‘dailymini’, an online space that promotes miniaturists and the Art of Miniatures. You will want to check out her Instagram account, @dailymini, where she showcases the very unique and extraordinary miniatures from her vast collection and creations from other miniaturists from around the world.
