In troubled world, grown-ups find joy in doll's houses

Hundreds of miniature hobbyists flock to the Kensington Dollhouse Festival in London to hunt down some mini microwaves, little lighting, and other small furnishings. 

The annual festival has been gathering some of the world's finest miniature craftspeople since 1985, celebrating a hobby that has seen rising interest recently and a mushrooming of online activity. It showcases tiny versions of anything needed to furnish a house. Doll's houses may be traditionally associated with children, but this high-end miniature collecting is very much an adult hobby.
