Although I have a page for all Country Treasures miniatures, I also wanted to have subsidiary pages which would allow you to appreciate the individual talents of its various artisans. Laura is the granddaughter of founders Paul and Jan Brownhill and has now taken over the business. She makes amazing butterfly domes, nesting boxes, jars of tadpoles, tiny birds pecking at slices of bread or discarded apples, and all sorts of other goodies. Genuinely one of the most talented artisans out there, and I’m learning to make a beeline for her stall at fairs.
