Before deciding to buy them, the Queen had to. he assured that each was “home-made.” A model house in the exhibition was inspected by Her Majesty, who looked through each of the 35 windows of the model and asked many questions about the style of furnishing the rooms. On a table was a tiny pot-plant, an inch high. “ I must have that,” the Queen said, and the plant was taken out and handed to the Queen, who at once put it in her muff.
