This is very sad news, and I wish her and her loved ones the best possible comfort in these days. I have truly appreciated her site.

I just heard that Ms. Dods had passed away today. Sincere condolences to all her friends and family.

Go with Love....Rest in Peace.

It's such a beautiful testament to a mind entranced by the charm of the small, often ignored objects in our lives. You can just feel the delight she took in her collection, and her generosity in making the effort to share her treasures with the rest of us. Her spouse's skill in photography in support of her passion is also something that should not just disappear.

The site is also an excellent tribute to the artistry and skill of the anonymous craftspeople who created these little beauties.
