I want to thank all my friends and acquaintances who allowed me to photograph their faces to use as inspiration for my dollhouse inhabitants.  Because I'm working from photos, resemblances to real people may be unavoidable, but my characters are entirely fictional.



THE APOTHECARIES
.
This well-educated professional couple and their young daughter fled turmoil in Eastern Russia and are working to bring more of their relatives to San Francisco.  They are the proprietors of the Apothecary Shop in the basement level of the building.  They are considered to be rather exotic, oddly dressed foreigners by the other inhabitants.
