A walnut-panelled doorway with a brass arch. Through it, a gold two-shelf glass cart holding Shirley’s miniature street on its top shelf.

A collection, up close

Shirley’s Mini World

Kits, builds, and tiny specialty pieces, shown the way they look when you’re the one at the table.

Scroll down to go in.

Through the doorway, a gold cart with two glass shelves.

Looking down at the top glass shelf of the gold cart: a row of shop kits, a red TELEPHONE booth, a cherry tree in bloom, a turf patch with an autumn tree, and four yellow chicks.

The top shelf holds a whole street. Keep going down.

Close to the street: the red TELEPHONE booth in front of a café kit with a checkered floor, a blue-fronted shop with Japanese signs, and a restaurant kit, with yellow chicks on the glass.

No. 01 · Top shelf

A street on a gold cart

Shop kits stand side by side, with a red phone booth on the corner and a cherry tree in bloom. Small yellow chicks wander between them.

On the lower glass shelf: a black cassette player, wooden record racks, a yellow double fryer, a mint rice cooker, a wooden speaker, a pink vinyl and its sleeve in a clear case, and a gold record plaque.

No. 02 · Lower shelf

Records, a fryer, a rice cooker

One shelf down, music and kitchen pieces share the glass: record racks, a wooden speaker, a gold record, and a pink vinyl in its own clear case. A yellow double fryer and a mint rice cooker sit nearby.

Two clear acrylic cabinets on a white dresser with chevron wood drawers and gold handles. Small rooms and figures fill every level, two wooden Japanese shop kits sit on one, and a light-blue dollhouse sits on the other.

Rooms in clear cases

Two clear cases hold small rooms on every level. Wooden shop kits sit on top, and a blue dollhouse room fills one side.

A kit in progress on a walnut table: a green cutting mat, a sheet of laser-cut wooden parts, a half-built tiny chair, tweezers, a craft knife, a glue bottle, and tiny porcelain plates.

Where a room starts

Before it’s a room, a kit is a sheet of flat parts. Pieces get popped out, trimmed, glued, and left to dry while the next one waits.

The bottom of the world, for now

There’s more on the way.
