New Miniatures.







For the last 8 years, we've ventured into the Big City to the Dollhouse Show each September. I save through the year so I can freely spend on items that are unique for the dollhouses I've been collecting. For 2020 and 2021, like the rest of the World, everything shut down and that meant the show was cancelled. It was so exciting when we found out the show would be back this year in person. The only downside to the date they chose was dh is on a roadshow tour and he had to miss the show for the first time ever. We always have so much fun going with our dd's and grandson. This year, my youngest dd and I went together, while dd and dgs were off to hockey for the day. We had a great time and spent all the funds I gathered. I love this show because pricing is decent, not expensive. I can get so many items for a frugal budget. 

The first thing I came across was the tiny wooden house in the upper photos. It was $2 and I have several ideas for creating a tiny dollhouse. My favorite purchase of the day and the most expensive, was the bookcase in the last photo, painted black with books placed on the shelves. It was $10 and so worth the big price. I love it and can't wait to see where it will land. I have a few ideas ~ so many choices!

Our schedule over the next few weeks will be super crazy busy. But I do hope to have some time, once our events and deadlines have passed, to work on my dollhouses. Now with these new pieces, I've been inspired to get the work done.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend!

The Final Shots.


Too many items to list so I'll just post
them here for you to peek through


Love the selection of books and the
sweet little apron from a local venfor.


The bunny was fun getting here home, 
safe and sound. Now I have a a big job ahead.


A snowman that dh found and I truly
couldn't resist. Fills a spot in the corner.


Love that rake. Isn't it sweet. But wish
they had a more vintagy rustic one.


A home plaque and a sweet hat.
Hope you enjoyed some of the shots.

Children's Table Set.


Soon as I saw this little table and chair set,
I knew I wanted it and suddenly, it was mine!

Sharing my Stash.


The next few posts will showcase what
I bought at the recent Dollhouse Show.

Many Treasures.


Once again, my haul from the show was really
inspiring and now I can't wait to play ....

A Coveted Treasure.


Something I had hoped to find at last year's show
but it didn't appear and then here it was this year ....


A sweet 5 piece wicker set for the rooftop 
deck on our current dollhouse project.


I love all the detail and can't wait to place
in the dollhouse once it's all finished up.

Amazing Art.


Another amazing creation from the
recent Dollhouse Show in our region.

Framed Art.


Another favorite for me. I love the
vintage frame and the details.

So Tiny.


I can't even imagine trying to work
on something this tiny. Brilliant!

Miniature Globe.


More from the Dollhouse Show. A small
globe that was done by a local artisan.

Tiny Art.


A tiny creation, art that is so worth the
time it takes to put together. Lovely.

Glass Room.


This one was a bit hard to shoot but
very detailed and so incredibly cute.

Ribboned Crate.


I voted for this one too. I can't even
describe all the details in this small space.

Pretty in Pink.


Pink will always hold a special place in
my heart, so of course this one called to me.

Boxed Room.


I just bought two kits that are rooms
similar to this one. Can't wait to start.

Framed Creation.


Another favorite for me. This is the kind
of style I know I will likely gravitate to.

Beehive Cottage.


The sweetest idea for an entry.
I voted for this one to win.

Radio #7.


My favorite was this radio that has been
turned into a front room with lots of detail.


Even the ceiling has wallpaper and trim,
the lights as you can see really do work
and all the little items he has placed in
the radio have a purpose. Beautiful.

Radio #6.


Once our dollhouses are complete,
my dh would love to try this idea.

Radio #5.


The artist who put these radio creations
together is name Gil. I love his humor here.
