MellyGabs Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 So I was trying to find Tudor style beds that I like on Etsy and I stummbled across this one store that has some amazing beautiful work of art dollhouses here is the link and I am sure most seen them before but I thought I would share anyways because I search Etsy everyday and never had I seen them before not even sure how the search engine picked Tudor with Mosaic but I am glad it did! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheMosaicDollhouse?ref=seller_info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I really think the Ebay topic is a more appropriate placde to post these auction-type things; this topic is more to show off stuff we have found and gotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapchap73 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 You're right Holly, but just in passing that artist is a member here! Her houses are very nice, and there are tons more pictures in the gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I sit corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellyGabs Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Sorry I thought this was store finds category and the artist I posted is on Etsy which is not auction ebay style, sorry for posting in wrong category I just thought her stuff is pretty find....

Shy Spirit Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not to worry, Melanie - her work is outstanding, and well worth seeing! I particularly love the blue and white tea-service dollhouse. I think this category is really for things that we find and buy for ourselves - but no harm done! Wouldn't you love to be able to buy one of her works of art? If only!!

MellyGabs Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I finally got a Bavarian House for my Dora Kuhn furniture! I went to pick it up today! It came with some pieces that were made by the owners mother while she lived in Germany there just adorable as well as Dora Kuhn pieces! Here is link to my album on PB! http://s331.photobucket.com/albums/l444/westlog/Dora%20kuhn%20German%20Furniture/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Melanie, all I see are empty boxes with little red Xs in them and when I click "show picture" the Xs come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Day Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It is just precious Melanie! What a great find! I love all of your furniture, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Congrats Melanie! I can't wait until I get home and I can see the pictures! I got one for Christmas to put all my furniture in, and I love it. There are pictures in my gallery. How neat that it also came with handmade pieces too! ETA: Okay, so I couldn't wait until I got home, so I went around the blocking rules here at work and looked at it anyway! How cute! I love it. And wow, it is packed with furniture isn't it?! I like the orange furniture too, adds some interest. I don't have any yet, I've kinda taken a break from looking for it for a while. Congrats again, and enjoy!!

MellyGabs Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Aw thankyou!! I just love folk art furniture and started collecting years ago but never came across a house the last house I saw was sold on Vancouver Island year ago and I missed out on that one so when i saw this one for sale I didn't even stall I phoned the gentleman right away! I got my greenleaf gallery to work I will start filling it up with pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMamaSC Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Not sure if this shop has been mentioned before in this thread, but today I received a miniature umbrella that I'd ordered from FranMade Minis on Etsy. It's amazing! She makes the most incredible leather luggage too--though I'll have to wistfully covet that for a while ;) . Here is a photo of the umbrella where it hangs from the coat rack in the entryway of my Victorian Townhouse (though the photos on her Etsy page give a much better view of all the detail)--it's definitely one of my very favorite pieces already.

otterine Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I love Fran's umbrellas and will soon have two of my own. Congrats on an excellent purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Wow, did that ever turn out perfect! I love pictures of minis that look RL sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I know it's been a good while since I've last posted on here, but now that I'm back on my feet and have mostly settled into the new work routine... well had to update about my last weekend! :yes: Went to an estate sale in PA, this is the first time I've gone to one of these for the express purpose of minis... and boy did I have fun! I uploaded a new album in my gallery entitled Estate Sale Finds, if anyone cares to take a gander. Oh, and other major bright side for the weekend -- I got a RGT Victoria's Farmhouse to rehab for free. Other than the matter I think they hot glued it together really sloppily and had a horrid paint and shingling job, nothing was done to the interior. Have already started rehabbing -- have removed all the shingles(unfortunately there was no saving them from how bad they were applied and honestly looked like they had a paint can they just poured over top of them), gotten the house apart to glue it together straight and solid this go around, and have removed the majority of the paint. Tonight I hope to finish replicating the rear roof section, and I want to make a couple of extra dividers for the house as well. I've missed you all and am glad to be back on track and working with my minis. Hoping to add more pics of completed houses here soon -- haven't been posting here recently, but have definitely been at work on the houses! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 We're certainly glad to have you back, and the Pierce I'm rehabbing lost not only its shingles but all its windows and doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks Holly! As for the Pierce, all I can say is ouch -- but I always try to look at the bright side, maybe there was a reason and what you come up with for it next will be even better...

havanaholly Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 It came with window "upgrades" I traded with another Forum member for new window inserts and I'm making all the trims and new doors, since this way I can also hang interior doors. Mildred isn't entirely sure what sort of roof she wants, yet; not even sure if she wants her chimney (suits me, the old one self-destructed trying to remove five pounds of ungrouted, really nasty-looking brickwork).

stefanib123 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I picked up some great books at a thrift store yesterday for $2. One is McCalls Decorating Book, 1964. This book is awesome! It has tons of big, color pictures and the best part is in the back there are sketches of the different furniture styles and eras. Each one has about a page of history, bios about designers ( had never heard of Duncan Phyfe, LOL) and other info about the different styles. I've learned a lot! I've already got several projects planned from the sketches, and I'm sure this will be one book I use a lot. I also picked up a book called "Doll Values, third edition" Its an older one, 1999, so I'm sure the values aren't accurate, but I got for the great pictures! Tons of pictures of doll faces, that I'm going to try and copy. If you need inspiration for sculpting doll faces, a book like this is perfect.

fov Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I got some neat half scale furniture off eBay last week, a Bauder-Pine side table and a kitchen table and chairs signed by Robert Street (not sure if that's a well-known person or not). I'll be using them in my puzzle house, which has a 1930s farmhouse theme. Prices were great - $12 for the side table and $10 for the table and chairs.

CheckMouse Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I am working at a Holiday Gift and Food Show for the last five days and some of the talent here is amazing! I found a booth - "Cottonwood Bark Carvings". Dan Collins is the artist's name and he and his wife, Joan, travel around to these shows. He makes fabulous little houses, all carved from bark, with incredible detail. I couldn't stay away from their booth :yikes: I'm encouraging him to sign up with etsy.com to sell them. I bought a second one, that is pretty close to the 1:144 scale that I've been fascinated with lately. He get the tiles and stones, boards w/nail holes, window frames -- all the tiny details whittled into place. It's not the conventional dh but I had to share with everyone :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 That is so totally cool! It puts me in mind of the little houses we used to see made from dehydrated mushrooms several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
