Great Miniature Village (1)

If you ask me what I like to build in my life....I will answer definitely that I would like very very much to build a miniature village.  As a perfectionist, I would love to have a village with houses, market, stores, bridge, river, people, animals, carts, train etc...Just think about it will make me go wild.  Oh how I long to have time to make them...I should start and not postponing again...wish me luck to create amazing villages as what these creative people made...

It took 60 years for him to build Roadside America,  this miniature town.  I wish someday I can go to Shartlesville, New York to see it for real.
