Anna Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Just remember to put a piece of sandpaper between your hand & the wood when you pet it! Yup, that is essential!!! Or those splinters might take away precious building time... Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 do any of you have any suggestion on places I may purchase thingsI have managed to drop a wad of money with Dollshouse Emporium, I had the url bookmarked on the 'puter that died, but it didn't make into my "Favorites" on this one, you can Google for it, shipping is free on orders over US$100 (when I ordered it was >US&60, but I had no problem spending more) and their catalog is free and their service is excellent. There's Craft Club, www.craft-club.com , where I order Mini Mundus kits for furniture, also good service http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/\html\style_emoticons\/biggrin2.gif' alt=':D'> . I have shopped Earth & Tree, www.dollhouse-miniatures.com online, excellent service, as well as the brick & morter store. And then there's everybody's faithful standby, Hobby Builders' Supply, www.miniatures.com , which has frequent sales & coupon deals and excellent service. what kind of glue should I use to put the wall paper on I use regular premixed wallpaper paste from the tub that I buy at the hardware store, although I have also used slightly thinned Elmer's all-purpose white glue (you have to watch it constantly for bubbling, though).

Shy Spirit Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 If money is at all an issue, it can help to check scrapbooking supplies and wooden doll furniture at a dollar store. Sometimes you can find nice pieces! Scrapbook paper makes acceptable wallpaper. They have stickers that are for frames - some soft-foam white "piped" frames that look like embossed ceiling features to me - your imagination sets the limit!

prariegurl Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 One of my favorite sites is www.spminiatures.com They are a great sourse for nice manufatured things and artisan pieces. I check the new items every weekday. Among today's new items are a shrunken head, a pith helmet, and a telescope. Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doogster Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 one more question.....what kind of glue should I use to put the wall paper on..... YES glue, you can get it from Michael's, or any online craft store. But Michael's is everywhere, so go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
