Miniature-room creator July Conner has assembled 28 settings or vignettes that reflect events and memories of her life with her family. The miniature Western shops recalled her favorite Western-themed movies and TV shows and included dolls and other items acquired on a family trip to the Grand Canyon. The antique shops reminded her of stories her grandparents used to tell her. She placed miniature car magazines, sports materials and Purdue U. memorabilia in the game room just for her college-aged sons and their alma mater. The Christmas room contains several miniatures of toys that she played with as a child and that her sons played with too. Conner's miniature rooms, like those of many hobbyists, present small parts of her life and serve as a catalogue of many favorite memories.
