Rosemary Macedonio of The Miniature Cellar

Rosemary started in miniatures in 1992 when she made a dollhouse for her oldest daughter, then she made another one for her second daughter. Two years later, she made a house for her girls’ school for a fundraiser. After that her husband realized that she was hooked and bought her a doll house of her own.

Rosemary belongs to the Geauga Miniature Society and the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. In 2016, she opened a brick and mortar store, which is located at 12652 West Geauga Plaza, Unit 1, Chesterland, Ohio 44026. Her website can be found at www.miniaturecellar.com.

Rosemary promotes her own show, The Greater Cleveland Miniature Show, and is a vendor at the Tom Bishop’s Chicago International. She sometimes sells her work at the Cleveland Miniaturia Show and the Philadelphia Miniaturia. She makes much of the merchandise she sells and sells many other items made by recognized miniature artisians. In 2020, she will be teaching a class at the Tom Bishop Show.

We are excited about having Rosemary in our 2019 showcase. She is very talented and her work is fantastic. Please stop by her table, she is quite an artist and a big supporter of the hobby.
