Meet Cilla

It was November 2004 when I decided to open a shop in Morpeth, Northumberland. I wanted to create a haven where shoppers could find interesting items of high quality that I myself would buy.

Originally my interest was in dollshouse miniatures and this is still apparent in Cilla's Closet. It was on a visit to London 15 years ago that I first encountered the wonderful world of miniatures. When trying to convince my 7 year old daughter she needed a dollshouse, I managed to persuade myself that I needed one too. I did not know then what I had let myself in for!

My hobby expanded when I discovered miniature fairs, dollshouse magazines and even a miniature club!

There are so many different aspects to the hobby. You have 'the maker'; from someone who can make something useful from a toothpaste tube cap to someone who can make a beautiful piece of furniture. You also have 'the collector' who will collect a range of items from the inexpensive orange plastic chair that looks perfect in their 'retro' style room box to museum quality pieces that enhance their three storey tudor house (miniature of course). It really is a hobby for anyone!

After opening a very small miniature shop at the bottom of the garden, the original Cilla's Closet, I felt the need to expand. I wanted the location to be 'just right' so I chose the bustling medieval market town of Morpeth. It is just perfect to visit on a sunny day!

I have created a calm, cosy atmosphere in the shop and only stock items that I would be happy purchasing myself.

Please come and visit me in my Closet...
