News from Museum Licensees * Concord Miniatures introduced three miniature room settings based on full-scale pieces from the Museum at the New York Dollhouse and Miniatures Trade Show. Complete with authentic miniature reproductions of period furniture, these miniature replicas of a living room, bedroom, and nursery are destined to become cherished collectibles. * Galison Books brought spring to New York a bit early during the New York International Gift Fair when it previewed America's Flower Garden, a boxed card collection based upon quilts from the Museum's collection. Floral themes continue to inspire quiltmakers in both traditional and contemporary, narrative and abstract interpretations. Geomet-
ric patterns that hint at orderly, well-planned gardens and pictorial "memory" quilts that recall a flowery past illustrate the quiltmaker's continued response to the beauty of America's flower gardens. * The Lane Company,Inc., announced that 35 new pieces of furniture for the America CollectiOflTM introduced at the Fall International Home Furnishings Market are now available. Look for authentic reproductions and approved adaptations from the Classical Revival period and William and Mary style in a store near you. * Remington Apparel Co., Inc.,reported strong sales for their recently previewed 32 unique tie designs based upon a series of four Museum design groups:"Views of America," "American Comfort,""Expressions of a New Spirit," and "The Art of Embellishment." The collection is now available at the Museum Book and Gift Shops and at retailers near you. * Tyndale,Inc., continues to light the way with the 25 new table and floor lamps introduced last year at the Fall International Home Furnishings Market.
