    <a href="http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/">Tumbleweed's tiny houses</a> are great for those who dream about living in small places - and now we have learned that a Tumbleweed XS in Ohio will go on auction tonight in order to support the <a href="http://www.toledomuseum.org/">Toledo Museum of Art</a>. Two local firms, The Andersons and the <a href="http://www.turnerconstruction.com/office-network/maumee">Lathrop Company</a>, donated funds, labor, materials, and skills to build one of Tumbleweed's tiniest homes for the museum. Although it is part of their current <em><a href="http://www.toledomuseum.org/exhibitions/smallworlds">Small Worlds</a></em> exhibit, the 65-square-foot structure goes on auction tonight, and by the first week of April, a happy new owner will walk away with the world's smallest house!
