havanaholly Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Those are adorable. They remind me of the cast aluminum painted yard furniture Sam's Club had for a while (they still might, we let our membership lapse). They would look lovely in a little garden scene with ta and cookies or a flower basket on the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxxie2 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I am sure they are meant to go outside but I don't have that kind of "yard". In fact, I have no "yard" at all. We have a courtyard and miles of sagebrush. We NEVER had to mow a lawn as there is no grass ( or trees). I wasn't sure what "style" they actually are but I thought they might look cute in the kitchen kind of Victorian? I just liked them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 They'd look cute in a shabby chic kitchen or a Victorian conservatory, too. I wish I could find a set, I'd put them on Washington's porch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Was in Michael's today and the place looked trashed! Did they have a big sale I didn't know about? Maybe just haven't recovered from Christmas yet.....bought a glass cutting mat, a bottle of paint and some gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The Michael's in Santa Fe is so old it always looks that way. Holly, I found the table and chairs at Hobby Lobby over on the side where they have seasonal stuff. They have fairy garden things also. This was the only table and chairs left so I don't know if they are new or from last season. I don't get there often enough to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjsome Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think they are new, I was in Hobby Lobby today and they were adding them to the shelf, there weren't any a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 On my road trip the other day, I found some absolutely gorgeous feather picks. They have multiple shades of browns, tan, whites, and even some beautiful touches of blue/green iridescent in them. They are going to be the shingles for the Baba Yaga house. It is going to be 1:18 scale. While it will be a long while until I get to the actual roof, they are just what I had in mind. I'm quite happy with them. Hope to post a picture some other day in my BY album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonberry Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I was browsing eBay yesterday, doing my thing with weird search term combinations, when I came across this lady's miniature sweets: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Candy-Jars-for-Shadow-boxes-Dollhouse-PINK-Strawberry-Set-of-5-96-/151572519025?pt=US_Dollhouse_Miniatures&hash=item234a6d1871 It lead me to her store, where I found some awesome other combinations for Christmas and Halloween too. She has some very ingenious cane designs - which would take me years to learn and even longer to make. So I had to buy a few for my Department Store - at least they won't pile on the real pounds!

Gonzo Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I had a business trip to Denver earlier this week. I had some down time and went to Norm's Dollhouse. This is a custom kit that they make. I bought two of them. I am sure one will be a market stand that I will put on a frame. I may do the two of them side by side. I like the ideas that they have for them. They had a couple of other finished stands in the shop that were pretty cool. (I have already started staining one of them.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGunn Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 This wasn't a find by me, but rather a friend snagged it for me at one of the local thrift shops: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 MJ, that is SO cool! I think I'd go ahead when it's open and trace those bench sides onto card for a pattern, and note the length & diameter of those dowels to make future benches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGunn Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 That's my plan, Holly. Someone already messaged requesting the cross stitch pattern, and I'll be happy to email it to anyone else who would like a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbriexx Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Suzanne I'm thrilled with your tabby cat! It looks amazing. It makes me want to consider trying to add my giant puppy babies to my first house since they are such a huge presence in my real home. No house is complete without a fur baby. Awesome idea!

otterine Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was recently contacted by the folks at Mini Materials offering me a free sample of their miniature cinder blocks to try. Quite awhile ago, there were some cinder block fridge magnets for sale elsewhere but I missed out on those. I was overjoyed to know Mini Materials was making the real deal in 1:12 scale with no pesky magnet I would need to remove. They sent me a 24 pack on a wood pallet and a bag of loose broken blocks.

LadyGunn Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Once again, something found me: I just learned that I won a raffle on the Newbies of NAME FB page for 25 kits worth $150. :insert Kermit flail here: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
