Plattsmouth is a thriving community, rich in the arts,  and boasts a long and strong historical presence! Situated at the confluence of the Platte and Missouri River, it was a noted stop for the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800's. Downtown Plattsmouth offers wonderful examples of turn of the century architecture along with many wonderful specialty shops, art  studios and eating opportunities.

 Guests to Plattsmouth have a choice of  two quaint Bed and Breakfasts or  if  you prefer,  travel a few minutes north to take your pick of many fine lodging opportunities.

Ask me about a private classes at Studio Pipsqueak!

During the summer of 2007 I realized that my home was overflowing with doll  items. Of course this was not the first time I had had this thought...this was just the moment when I realized I had to do something different!!

I began the search for the perfect place to work and to be inspired...and found it!   I am completely inspired by Studio Pipsqueak!  The "new" studio space is located in "old" Plattsmouth, Nebraska, just minutes from Omaha and not much farther from Lincoln, the state capital of Nebraska.  I use the term "new" studio space loosely, as it is new to me. It is actually located in a beautiful, turn of the century mansion!  Wood work, 12 foot ceilings and all! The mansion has been apartments for years now....but, I pretend it is all mine!

As you will see from the pictures, I am a collector of ....everything.... The best part about the studio is; I can leave everything where it is....and it will be there tomorrow!
