shamrockgirl18 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 was in my local Michael's store today, and saw a whole display of spring themed mini's. I got a bunch of stuff for my new flower stand! Wanted to let everyone know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjsome Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I walked around the corner at Joann's today and found they had some too. I bought a little table to use as a coffee table, and there was a tiny fireplace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a little table to use as a coffee table, and there was a tiny fireplace. we have a joann's but it's not a Joann Etc- it's an old store that carries mostly fabrics and sewing supplies. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I am going out in the cold today. I should stop by those stores as a reward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yes, Deana, you should definitely reward yourself mightily for sticking your nose out in the weather y'all have been having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjsome Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Oh, my husband just pointed out to me, the Joann's minis were not in the spring section with the fairy garden stuff, but off in another part of the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 In my Michaels we have the hutches in the wood section, minis are in the kids section, just a small area. And we got the fairy minis on a end cap. They are really cute, some are too small for 1/12 scale but still fun. I believe the hutches are being fazed out unfortunatly, I haven't purchase any but I have a bunch from a while ago. Kellee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I went to Michaels today. Not a single spring mini to be found. Maybe they just don't have them out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujurodgers Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 wah!!!! I live 2 hrs from a Michael's (in Albuquerque) and have no car now....been itching to get to the big city to look for things!!! yay for you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I searched at my local Michaels today but they did not have any. They just had the regular ones they always have. I asked and the lady told me that they never received that inventory so she believes its by region and we might not be getting them. Too bad but I went to the Michaels in the city next to us and they had them! I was so excited. They had a lot of items for a tiny wine cellar display I want to create in the Willowcrests cellar window. They are pretty good quality minis too. True to scale. I can't wait to use them.

Soapz Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Would one of you post pictures? I've been to our Michaels twice and haven't seen anything yet. I believe I am looking in the wrong places... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjsome Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I didn't take pictures, but at Joann's I bought this http://www.joann.com/search?q=Miniatures#prefn1=prod_type&start=54&q=Miniatures&sz=54&prefv1=Product And some of the other items they have on their website (some that say online only, which is confusing), they have them int who completely different locations. One is more spring gnomes and such, and one is more house type tables, dishes and fruit. And at Michael's I picked up some of these http://sparrowinnovations.com/products/sparrow-innovations-miniatures/ Plus, there was another selection on end cap that I thought was much more house type minis instead of garden ones like these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I am looking in the wrong places... I'll be able to take pictures some time tomorrow evening. The minis were hard to find at the Michaels I went to. I went to the Seasonal section first, thinking they were there since they had the Christmas minis there before but they weren't. I went to the aisle where they have their small, usual selection of minis but they weren't there either. Basically as I was walking out of the store because I didn't find anything, I passed by the main aisle at the back of the store, and there was the display.

More Minis Dollhouses Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Here you go. It's a little hard to see with my ancient camera. I am going to use one cellar window for a wine cellar display and the other for a gardening/storage display. My favorite is the wine setting on the butcher block. It's really cute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueirishmoon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I checked out your Joann's link, Sharon. Loved the little toobs of critters. Unfortunately the ones I'm interested in aren't available in any of the 4 stores near me. Can you check to see if they're available near you? I'd happily reimburse you. I'm interested in three of them: http://www.joann.com/designer-plastic-miniatures-in-toobs-lair-of-the-dragon-no2/9736240.html#prefn1=prod_type&start=109&q=Miniatures&sz=54&prefv1=Product http://www.joann.com/plastic-miniatures-in-toobs-knights-and-dragons-10-pkg/9136540.html#start=55&q=Miniatures&sz=54&prefn1=prod_type&prefv1=Product http://www.joann.com/plastic-miniatures-in-toobs-mythical-realm-8-pkg/10847069.html#start=55&q=Miniatures&sz=54&prefn1=prod_type&prefv1=Product This goes for anyone else, too.

smjsome Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I don't remember seeing those? But I'm going into the city Thursday or Friday, I'll check, but did you see when I clicked on one of the links it said there is 1.99 shipping this week, it might be cheaper to get them online, since shipping would be so low.
