Pre-dating the dolls are the fabrics and pieces of clothing from the 1700s, which feature intricate designs popular during that time period. Fussner says these types of mechanical dolls, which date back more than a hundred years, were typically made by clockmakers during the 1800s. It's the store's most expensive item at $9,500. The glass horse in a rotating wheel at the front of the store was handmade by a friend and mounted by Fussner with a pair of skateboard wheels and a circular frame. This makes perusing the store that much more beguiling and also turns one single item into an entire arrangement that could complete a room.įussner, who started in the window business by repairing old broken ones from an antique store in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio, certainly has a knack for transforming something broken or unfinished. Plenty of other items are paired and placed into handcrafted glass domes creating small worlds of various sizes. Putting years of experience working with his hands to use, Fussner transforms old clock cases, shadow boxes and oval antique mirrors into displays for his smaller trinkets.

Even when he was creating stained glass windows and dome ceilings for high-end homes and commercial buildings, Fussner was building his collection at large antique markets across Canada and the States. The charming space comes as Fussner's retirement project after a 30-something career in the stain glass business.
