thelittlethings Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I know there are some folks who regularly attend the Chicago mini shows. Curious who is planning to go this year. I'll have a table at Three Blind Mice, and will hopefully head over to Bishop show Sunday. Anyone else planning to visit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I can only be there in spirit, but I wish you much success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterine Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I am hosting an out-of-towner again this year and will be meeting up with other travelers. I will attend all three shows, and it will be mini madness all around! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilover62 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I am hopping to go this year for the first time; must likely I will have to go by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlethings Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks Dale! Carmen- Sometimes going alone is not so bad. No rushing and you can spend as much time as you like :) I really wanted to check out the new show, but unfortunately, I only have Sunday morning to go. So, I've decided to check out Bishop show and say hello to some folks I know who will be there. Hopefully there will be pics and info about The Miniature Show though??

minilover62 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 One question for the people that have attended before, can I go and pay the admission over there or was I suppose to do it before march 31st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlethings Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 For general admission you can pay at the door. I think you only have to prepay if you want to attend the early previews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenannediva Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Advance ticket purchases are only required for the preview shows. All day Friday is the Bishop preview show and tickets are sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilover62 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thank you both!, then I am good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atodonnell Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I am hoping to go. I can't wait to check out all three shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniaddicted Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm going to all 3 shows....need to start or should I say, continue, my 'want' list now - with the new French Country Manor I have lots of 'wants'. Not expecting to fulfill all my wants but shows are great for the artisan wants, not to mention ideas. Just purchased my Thursday preview tickets for the new show - am very curious as to how that works out! Ambitious plans for Thursday - 3 Blind Mice, then this one! Leaves Saturday for Bishop Show.

Gonzo Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I worked it out this year that I will have pretty much an ENTIRE ROOM at the 3 Blind Mice Show! I have been scrambling all day buying more inventory to have it shipped to meet me there. I can tell you this -- anyone looking for wallpaper will find plenty at my booth. Close to 2,500 sheets at rock bottom prices. I am also blowing out a lot of my wood trim. Now, in both cases you will have to sort through it all like a yard sale, but I promise the pricing will make it worth it. Hop over to my All About Miniatures Facebook page to see.. I will also have plenty of JBM furniture, Bill Lankford landscaping, Reutter Porcelain, Cat's Paw trunk kits, Dragonfly International kits and much more -- including some HALF SCALE and QUARTER SCALE items! SPECIAL PRICING FOR FORUM MEMBERS! Looking forward to seeing/meeting many of you. I know I have been away from the forum for a while, but there has been a lot going on in my life. I am going to head over to the "Chit Chat" section and give you an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelittlethings Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Sounds like all three shows will have a good showing from the Greenleaf members. That's wonderful! I hope to see some of you at 3BM. Please stop by and introduce yourselves. My flight leaves in less than 24 hours, so now it is time to pack!

minilover62 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 well, Alex is going to be in room 2 at Botiny Miniatures and Gonzo will be in room 3 at JBM/All About Miniatures, anyone else that we should look for at any of the shows? will not have time for everybody and it would be very nice meeting some of you (or all!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Maybe Greg will consider offering grab bags for the trim that doesn't sell.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniaddicted Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Here's the rest of my purchases http://mini-madness.blogspot.com/2016/04/more-2016-miniature-show-findings.html Brae - you got some really interesting pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriJohn Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Brae, you did get some really neat stuff. I like the lucky bamboo plant and the Art Forge pieces a lot. I wish I had gotten some Graber pottery. She also had cute bushel baskets I wish I had gotten. Something for next time though! Heidi, I got that trim and ceiling medallion (the one on the right) too! I love that big, long cabinet! Here's the one pic I have ready to share - need to upload my phone pics to the cloud thingie and I can share some more. Here's my pic of Frank and the chandelier I ordered: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 While at my father's home in Maryland I was looking forward to visiting Forever Friends, a Mom and Pop dollhouse shop in the basement of the owners home in Olney, MD. Unfortunately, they were closed because they were attending the shows in Chicago. Boo hoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
