The original and distinctive work of miniaturist Sally Wallace is
for the second time featured in her new book, Christmas Emporium;
and the book is as luscious as her work itself. Working with
some of the most talented specialized miniaturists in the world,
Sally has composed an expansive and complete environment both
inside and out, inspired by her love of Christmas and memories of
years gone by when Christmas shops were as fun to visit as to
actually purchase items. The exterior has windows in stained
glass, two nutcrackers standing guard over the front door and 25
small doors on the outside that serve as a very special advent
calendar, among other architectural delights. Â Every element
of the interior, from 18 Christmas trees to tiny wrapped presents
under them, I offer up an interior festooned with every detail from
working toys to children gazing at them and ornaments to hang on
trees—each lovingly placed in an elaborately appropriate room
with all the architectural details and interior design exactly as
it might be in “real life.†This sumptuous environment is
unique in all its facets and readers entering this magical entity
for the first time will find the world of a unique talent, the
result being a creative process so replete with extraordinary
details that the reader him- or herself will wish that they, too,
were 1/12 size.
