From the album: Miscellaneous Minis
My wife picked up a wooden decoupage purse at an antique store recently and wants to make a mini antique store of some sort based on the design. I have been looking for just the right accessories. While in Orlando I stopped in at Ron's Miniature Shop and found some great items. I know some of my mini friends will fall out of their chairs in shock as I purchased some quarter scale items for the build. I love the detail of these!© 2013 All About Miniatures, LLC

Funny how you don't notice that 1/4 scale items need touched up until you take a close up picture. I am not really happy with the quality based on what I paid, but I can fix the paint blobs.© 2013 All About Miniatures, LLC

I have seen in the forum and the gallery that quite a few folks have used Braxton Payne's pottery and fireplaces. Has anyone ever built one of his quarter scale roombox kits? How about the 1:144 scale kits? I have an opportunity, but am not sure about the quality. I will see Braxton in Chicago this weekend, but wanted to get some feedback from those of you that have tried some of these kits. Thanks.

My 20 year old daughter wants the two of us to create a "Beauty and the Beast" castle in half or quarter scale. (see picture one and picture two) Do any of you small scale experts know of a castle kit that can be bashed? Maybe there is another kit that can be bashed with some pvc or other products to build a castle? I have looked at Bruce Hirst's molds (here) and think that building from scratch sounds like fun, but I am unsure of the initial investment for what I would want to do. Although having the molds for future builds would be good, too. We are going to bash a Storybook and a Buttercup kits to create Belle's Cottage like this and this. Any thoughts, ideas or product locations are appreciated.

Quarter Scale Cottage Furniture -- Arkoma, OK August, 2012
Gonzo posted a gallery image in Members' Gallery
From the album: My Travel Finds
This was a special find. In this gallery I mention a Farmhouse kit that I bought in Oklahoma. I found this bag of furniture in the tote with the FH pieces a few weeks after I got home. It is from Debbie Young at "Young at Heart." I couldn't find this set when I searched her site, so I sent a quick email. This was a special kit that was part of the 2005 national convention. There were only 300 made. She didn't specify, but I think it was part of a workshop. At the time it was valued at about $85. Not a bad find as part of a $40 DC Farmhouse kit! I dug deeper to see if the cottage was in the tote, but I am not THAT lucky. -
If you have a Garden Ridge store near you, they have some great decorative boxes on sale. The entire store currently 75% off of anything with a red line through the bar code. While looking through all of the great stuff, I ended up in an aisle full of hat boxes and other decorative boxes. Many of them are on clearance (they might have a ding or two). Here are the ones I picked up for later use. The most I spent was $10 on the "treasure chest" looking box. Anyone who likes half scale or quarter scale could do a lot with these. There are only 47 stores in the Midwest and Southeast, but if you have one near you go get a bargain. I only bought three boxes and tried to show them opened and closed. They just didn't post in order.

I was digging through one of my travel finds over the weekend (this one) and I came across a furniture pack. It is 1/4" scale Cottage Furniture from Debbie Young. It is enough for an entire cottage. I like it and it will go perfectly with one of the room boxes my wife is going to build (see this). Based on the picture, this package is no longer available on her site. That is no big deal, but I did see some packages there that looked pretty nice. I figure at one time this must have cost someone around $60-$70 (I got the whole DC Farmhouse kit for $40). Has anyone purchased from her in the past? Is there a less expensive place to find 1/4 scale furniture? I haven't done a lot of searching, although I can tell you there is nothing on craigslist and very little on eBay. I am just looking for some feedback.
