havanaholly Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Cathy, don't count on a lengthy shipping time from the UK. I used to order from The Dollshouse Emporium and my orders usually arrived within a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minilover62 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Holly, I bought from DHE not long ago, and it took a good 2 weeks for my stuff to get here, but you never know for sure what it will take for each shipment. I think overseas they have only one type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy C Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 @havanaholly @minilover62 It really doesn't matter to me how long it takes to get here. I am just happy to know I've got it on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 My order from Turkey came in less than 10 days. Sometimes miniatures.com can take almost as long if you order on a Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathi17 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 That's great Mike, I can't wait to see what you do with it either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilover62 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't have a problem either waiting for my stuff, I am going to build a little table to set my little house in the meantime. Mike congrats for your new tool, looks like we are going to stay having fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myangela Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I just ordered a Silouhette brand die cutter, hoping and praying it can handle cutting mat board better than I can manage. I've never used one before, and I've got to get it set up before my resident IT manager moves over to the UK to join her husband! Wish me luck!

SQUEAKY Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I have to admit that I bought a Dremel 4000 in January and have not used it. I am so used to using my old tools and doing things by hand. There are so many attachments that I don't know where to start. I wish there was a class offered. I have watched the YouTube videos but I need Dremel for Dummies!

minilover62 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks Mike! will let you know when it gets here, must likely it will be In one piece (literally in my case! heheh!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Now Mike, you know good and well that Santa is on an extended vacation. I suspect he may be in the Bahamas. I loved looking in your etsy shop and had to mop up the drool. Hopefully, I'll soon be able to order that something "special" from you. If I may, I'd like to ask if you could link your etsy shop to your posts or avatar? Having to scroll through several pages to find the link may be off putting. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapz Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well, as soon as I order the Maplestreet house I might want a 144-scale Tudor to go in it. I think it would make a great addition to the pub that'll go into the first floor. So, Mike let's talk about a 144 scale copy of the Maplestreet Tudors? Any chance that'll work? I'm still not sure which one of the two I will get (Coach Inn or Guildhall/Shop - I would most certainly appreciate your input here...).

If everything's in bits I'll make it again.........I hate packing! I usually get Santa to do it but he's not been around here for months! Today I've been making television cabinets..........a television cabinet. A must have for any discerning small viewer! I am furiously looking for a house to make so I can order the television cabinet! I donate all the houses that I build but decided I am going to build one for myself and keep it! Oh yea I will need a bedroom set also. Hmmm what else..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just added a new TV cabinet to the shop along with the 'Bar Furniture' which is now surplus to requirements now that I'm selling the 'Tudor Wine Bar'! Okay Mike I am going to need one of each TV Cabinet as well as the bedroom set and both the little mini homes! I am close to deciding which house to build. Oh I thinks you are going to be furnishing most of it!!! I need to make a decision on the house and then the colors etc!! Decisions decisions.....

The shop has gone really well with 9 sales first week so I'm frantically trying to make some more stock...........lots of ideas though and when I finally get around to getting to grips with my new toy some surprises too I hope! I also hope that the 3 packages I sent on Monday will be getting near to their destinations! A huge thank you for the support to all...........Oh and I have a new build project on order.........A 'Tudor' Water Mill complete with a turning wheel! My first fling with 1/24th scale and I'm thinking of some sort of rural diorama! Oh my!! I think I am going to be spending my kids inheritance!!

Sable Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Mike, the package has arrived at my house. I'm not home now to open it but I wanted you to know that it made it to Florida in record time. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thank you so much Mike! The entire setup is so similar to my own garage workspace. That's why I couldn't resist it. The additional items were an unexpected surprise. We are 100% satisfied. Thank you my friend. PS Etsy won't let me post a review until May 28. I will follow up then.

minilover62 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Mike, I received my package today! that was fast!. Another tip for you, you can send the items in smaller boxes, that way the shipping cost is less. I don't only like my cute houses, I LOVE THEM!! Thanks a million! You put a smile in my face that doesn't go away, they are so beautiful! No damage at all! well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
