That's the title of a World War II song, but it's also a good motto for the roving miniaturist. The Carolinas boast a couple of destination mini shops and a few other shoppers' finds.Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NCThe Research Triangle area is weak on mini shops -- you have to go to the Gingerbread House in Greensboro, which is quirky rather than extensively stocked -- but has an excellent scrapbook store. Scrapbook Plaza in Raleigh is difficult to find but stocks absolutely every single line of "modern" paper.The Triangle also offers the convenient Craft Store Triangle, where Michael's, Joann, and A.C. Moore are located within a mile of one another on US 15-501 between Durham and Chapel Hill. A.C. Moore carries actual dollhouse supplies.Charlotte, NCPJ's Miniatures is da bomb, with a huge selection of furniture at price points from economical to omigoodness, plus an absolute flooring bonanza. The "cool stuff per square foot" ratio is very high, especially if you're on the prowl for furniture that isn't Victorian, fussy, or in every eBay store. Don't forget to stop at Hobby Lobby, which is right up there with fried chicken and mint juleps as an excellent reason to relocate to the South.Charleston, SCMiniature Memories is not only South Carolina's largest mini shop, it is a half-scale destination, featuring custom houses and an enormous selection of mass-produced smaller-scale furniture. If you're a Bespaq fan in any scale, you'll want to arrange for your second mortgage before walking in the door, as your every wildest dream is about to be realized. You don't have to be a lottery winner to shop here (though it helps -- artisanal work understandably doesn't come cheap, which means a truly irresistable half-scale mansion in the regional style runs $1000+ and some to-die-for half-scale cottages are in the $400 range), as the stock includes... well, everything. Did I mention that they carry everything? As in half a dozen choices of the 1:12 tool bench for your miniature workshop? Oh, and while you're in the shop, there's also the museum and the circus. Don't go while you're hungry, as once you're there, it'll be a while until your next meal.You may as well have the next meal in Folly Beach, further down the road, and take some photos of the beach houses up on stilts, just in case you want to build one in miniature. When you get back to historic downtown Charleston, be sure to check out the long, narrow houses with verandas along one side. Nothing comparable seems to exist in dollhouse kit form at the moment, but you'd be amazed what you can do with a Greenleaf kit, a sharp craft knife, and some initiative.
