Helen M. David of Houston, Texas has enjoyed the fascinating "World of Dollhouse Miniatures" for more than 30 years.

She was born in Kittery, Maine, but spent most of her early years in Virginia and South Carolina where she received extensive training as a professional florist. The skills and techniques that she learned as a florist are used in the development and fabrication of each miniature floral arrangement that she does today.

While designing and fabricating floral arrangements has been Helen's main interest over the years, she is also well known for her historically correct reproduction of antique trunks and cases that have fitted interiors and are handcrafted from exotic woods, leather and reptile skins.

She joined the National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts in 1976 and in the same year founded her company, Smaller Than A Breadbox. Helen is a Founding Member of The American Museum of the Miniature Arts and is an IGMA Fellow in The Category of Flowers.
