We are proud to introduce you to the world of fine gifts & collectibles made exclusively in the United States by a family owned and operated business since 1979. What began as a way to earn extra Christmas money has turned into a full time love and avocation for Jim and Shelia Thompson. Shelia spends hours researching historical homes and public buildings, personally selecting the "lucky" few to be released as a Shelia's. Shelia draws inspiration from her meticulous research, and in turn creates award winning one-of-a-kind designs. Judge for yourself and see why Shelia's is on the forefront of the collectible industry, setting trends with innovative new product releases and artistic designs unequaled in value, appeal and quality.

 

Some people, I suppose, might say that Shelia and I just sell "pretty little houses." We don't feel that way though - not by a long shot.

 

We know our products help people better understand the historical legacy left to us by the great men and women who built our American nation. Countless collectors have told us our miniatures stir in their children a love of our country's architectural achievements.

 

Then again, other people collect Shelia's gifts & historical miniatures because the homes remind them of places they've lived or cities they've visited. Or simply because their eyes are dazzled by the stunning Victorian style and all the beautiful colors.

 

Whatever the reason people buy our "pretty little houses," Shelia and I are proud to play a part in the exciting process of keeping history alive.
