nechee Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 great to hear from a neighbour! I know that there used to be a store in hamilton. DD's Dollhouse store, but she has since closed and only works online now. i don't even know if she is still online, it has been a while since I have been to her site.

More Minis Dollhouses Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Where I live, its certainly not popular at all. Most people havent even ever SEEN a dollhouse before, around here, much less make or sell things for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Elicia, you live in Chapin and you aren't coming to the Atlanta Miniature Show this weekend? We'll all miss you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 There are a lot of mini-ers around here. All the minis disappear off the shelves fast. There are always a lot of dollhouses on craigslist. I, however, have never met any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 The last time I spoke to Doris (DD's dollhouse), she delivered my online, order to my house,(she lives on the mountain)it was a year ago. At that time, she was ill, and her Dh was found to be terminally ill, and her plan was to have one huge yard sale and give up the business as a whole. She did say if I needed any help finding something or needing something made to contact her. I have not been to her site since, that day, and she was not present at the Ferris show this year. I sure do miss her and her shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nechee Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I just checked and the site is still up and running. You can still order from it. But listening to what you said, maybe she could have abandoned it a long time ago and forgot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Nothing much in my part of Connecticut -- the only dollhouse shop left is a 40 minute drive away. If I want to buy something, I look for it on the Internet. If I want to talk with someone (besides my family), I log on to this forum. -- or I talk to my little people. :popcorn: But I am not complaining -- my family is wonderful and so are you all :monkeydance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meleah Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Not popular at all here. I'm glad I have this group to talk to about miniatures, because nobody here seems to care anything about it. You would think they would at least pretend to be interested every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well I guess that all of us here prove that there are still people out there who love miniatures. Traci was kind enough to send me some skellies and now they are running amuk here! Ahhhh! I'm not really into halloween, but these guys just hit my funny bone.

havanaholly Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Oh, Debra, just wait until you get one posed & dressed! It's mercilessly hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Decided painted lipstick just above the teeth would crack me up! Got any good ideas for adding a few more joints to these guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 ...Got any good ideas for adding a few more joints to these guys?I think Deb's planning a skellie-posing tutorial for the October edition of the GL Gazette, if that's what you're referring to. If you want to articulate the joints to make them floppy you need to separate them at their joints very carefully and use a very tiny drillbit and carefully drill a wee hole near each end of the severed joint and rejoin it with a loop of thread-thin wire.
