And lurking nearby - unseen by most - is the Catnip Mouse, a mischievous creature measuring just one inch from whiskers to tail.
You'll also find miniature cakes, dainty flowers that double as brooches or hair accessories, festive decorations for the Christmas tree and even tiny beads to create your own crochet jewellery.
