Gretchen beautifully made pieces such lovely quality. Really great buys ,yes I agree you don’t have to spend a ton for great quality. I look forward to your new dolls 💕💕💕
"A moment of silence" ~ you crack me up!! They are really pretty pieces. I also love the faux marble topped pieces. The larger piece looks like it might have had a mirror in the past??? The doll faces are AWESOME! I am always on the lookout for doll kits/pieces, so congrats on finding such beautiful miniatures!
Lololollol! Thanks Kat!!! I really do feel like I scored this time! It was so crazy the lady met me in a parking lot and pulled them out of the her trunk of her car!!! 🤭🤣😂 I'm always stalking Facebook marketplace and eBay for great finds! I like I need anymore projects to work on🤭!! I love those marble top pieces and I have the perfect mirror it's kind of old and vintage looking so I'm really excited about putting that look together!!! I've got so many projects on my table some moments I don't know what to work on first!!!!🤭🤣😂💯☺️💖
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 oh my goodness I feel EXACTLY the same way! I have more projects then I can probably complete in the next 20 years, but it doesn’t stop me!! 🤣😂
Wow! You have some treasures there!! The chair and sofa are lovely, and you get to have the fun of fixing up the wood pieces!! (I can tell that we are in sync because I laughed at the same time as you did every time in this video!!)😄❤️
Thanks so much Nancy! 😊 Sometimes I just get so amused!! Miniatures are WONDERFUL!!!💖💖💖😃
I'm just learning how to make my own things for my doll house and I'm loving ur videos
Hi Beulah!! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying my content! There are so many wonderful things you can make with just a little time and some imagination! Thank you so much for being here and allowing me to SHARE !! ENJOY 💖😃☺️
I really love the pieces you showed. The couch and chair are amazing finds! I have a box of bits and pieces that I've tagged as the 'what in the world are you saving that for' box. Great name for it, Gretchen!! 😀
I'm so glad you said that Johnny when you get opportunity check my main page and see what's listed under shopping🛍️.🤭😂🤣 merchandise💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wonderful pieces Gretchen. I'm amazed how new the sofa and chair made in the 80s look! That light colored fabric without a blemish! I'm looking forward to seeing how you use everything. I especially can't wait to see you create new dolls! 😍✨
Thank you so much Dot! I'm really excited about the pieces I had to have another project coming up I never expected to find something like that! I'm truly grateful to have found such a rare pieces!!!
Nice find❣️ Thanks for sharing.Enjoying your creativity😊
Thanks so much Claudia 😊 I appreciate you for letting me know that you are enjoying THIS!☺️💖💕💖
i enjoy watching you show your finds to us- you are so right about using all types of finds and making a dolls' house unique. I haven't shopped for miniatures since last year, but today I went to the Habitat store and found 2 Wade tea ceramic figures- a clown and a koala for 99 cents each, and also a beautiful tiny Japanese vase w. different scenes on the front and back for $2. I love all Japanese art so that is a real find. At the recycle store I found an unusual wood diorama of a kitchen- it is filthy so needs lots of TLC but it is all hand-carved. It's small but might work as part of the back wall in a kitchen to give the room some depth. It's actually meant to hang on a wall as decor. Really odd to find minis in either one of those stores!
Yes it is a wonderful feeling to find Miniatures unusual places! When that happens I literally feel compelled to buy it because it shouldn't be there!!🤭😂☺️ I actually have a 12th scale aluminum china cabinet in my original dollhouse that was from of all places TJMAXX, in the housewares section! It costed like $6.00. if you get a chance check out my original doll house tour of the dining room I show it but it was a very random rare piece I've NEVER found another miniature in TJ Maxx since then!🤭😂💖 Thank you for sharing with me about your finds!!!!
Miniature Makers was in Royal Oak. I used to go there all the time and I even had some pieces that I made for sale in the shop. Unfortunately they are no longer there because the owner became very ill and passed away. Because of a decline in sales they decided not to try and have someone else buy it and run it. So sad it’s gone because it was such a nice high end store with lots of unique vintage pieces as well as lots of newer merchandise. I miss it so much.
Hi There Valerie!! Oh my goodness you remember MINIATURE Makers on Woodward that is SO Cool!!! Yes it was a really cute little shop! I only went there supplies like siding or wallpaper. I'm so sorry to hear that the owner passed. With the internet I guess the days of going into quaint little shops like that I just about gone. Thank you for letting me know you remember them!! 😊💖
I don’t know if you found the little square piece of wood that fell down from the little bedside cabinet, it looks like it might have been the missing ‘leg’. It was stuck in the drawer, but then fell out when you opened it and was sitting on your table for most of the video. Lovely furniture indeed, and the dolls will be great. Oh yes and those little bits and pieces to collect are necessary! 😊
Thank you Serenata! Yes that was it! I saw it during the replay🤭💖!! I appreciate you for being here 😊
Wow, what a haul, the furniture is beautiful! Once again, I'm also tickled to see you keep some of the very same items I do--so I'm maybe waiting to see what you do with them!😂
Thank you so much Peggy! That is so cool to hear!!! I'm always grounding around scavenging for stuff to figure out what I can make with it! Being a part of a this miniature community, where we share really helps you to know that, My behaviors are not odd or strange or peculiar .......it's just how CREATIVE people are built!!!
The fun thing with the dollshouse hobby: you can make it as simple, expensive or home-made as you like!
YES ESTHER!!! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT'S WHAT I REALLY WANT MY DOLLS TO UNDERSTAND!!!😃💖😃
NICE! You always find the best stuff!
Thank you Mary! it's definitely a WONDERFUL Reward after days and hours of "stalking" on eBay and Facebook marketplace! ☺️😃💖🤣😂
Wonderful finds! 🥰 It looked like the missing foot for the nightstand was stuck under the middle drawer, and it fell out when you opened the drawer. I hope you found it and got it back together with the nightstand! Of course, the square feet would be very easy to make, but it would save a little color matching. 🙂 I'm always excited to find inexpensive pieces that I can repair. The chair and sofa are wonderful, as is the drop-leaf table. I look forward to meeting the new dolls! 😊
Thanks Laura yes I did notice it after I looked at it really closely I'm going to have to do a video about fixing it and adding the little feet to it! I'm definitely excited about getting the additional dolls together for the wedding!!!💖💖💖💖☺️
Gretchen, you're are right. Im excited and overwhelmed. I do have to slow down. Thank you for the tips :)
You are so welcome yes slow down take your time and really enjoy the process! 😀💖💖💖💖💖
Your Facebook purchases are fabulous, Gretchen! Can’t wait to see the dolls after they’ve been “Gretchen-ed!”❣️. Your recycled treasures will become great additions to the wedding reception and your other “secret plans” I’m sure!
I was looking through my recycled bits today to inspire me to make some things for my 1/16 scale house project. Since it’s very challenging to find items that are that scale here in the US, it necessitates creativity! I find it fun … and challenging!
Thanks, Gretchen! Happy creating! Kathleen
Oh My Goodness Kathleen!! I'm like that too I absolutely love a challenge when something's rare or not quite square or it's broken or off scale or disfigured it's something about trying to figure it out that really gives me a REAL RUSH !🤭😂🤣😂💖💯💖💖😃😃😃
Real life miniature kit no. 200 Victorian series
Oh my goodness!!Thank you CHERYL!!! MY DAD USED TO BUY ME REAL LIFE MINIATURE KITS in the 70's!!! I DEFINITELY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ONE! Especially NOT ASSEMBLED!!! Oh my goodness l SEE it was a part of that Victorian bedroom set oh okay!!!!! Thank you that truly put things into perspective because I truly was like I don't recognize this! I APPRECIATE YOU THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️😃
beautiful pieces! The thrill of the chase is so fun, finding pre-loved pieces so satisfying
Such nice purchases, Gretchen. The chair and sofa are so clean that they look brand new. I love the drop leaf table, very nice.❤😊❤
YES YES YES JILLIAN!!!I totally agree! IT IS SUCH A THRILL!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE!!☺️💖💖
I remember the Miniature Worker’s Workshop very well. It was in Royal Oak I think. Some many beautiful miniatures available there. Alas, they were mostly out of my price range.
Hey there Harriet!!! you're a Michigan girl too YAY!!! 😃💖Yes I didn't discover them until I was an adult but all I would purchase for them were supplies, never any furniture! It was always out of my range during those years my children were small! Thank You for sharing that you remember them! 😀
Hello Gretchen, the furniture pieces you found are lovely, the chair and sofa are in fantastic condition for their age and the little table is gorgeous, I also collect random bits and pieces for my "that might come in handy" box and also pieces of "ooh that's nice" cardboard from boxes 😅 if something breaks I take it apart to see if there is anything useful inside it, pens, watches, lighters etc etc. I'm looking forward to your next video, Have a lovely week,
Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
YES that is EXACTLY WHAT I DO!!! ☺️ IT MAKES FOR A VERY INTERESTING COLLECTION AND ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE VERY UNIQUE PIECES FROM THE SCRAPS. l just recently started collecting components from ink pens I never considered " lighters"😯! That is a great resource!!! Thank You for the suggestion!!!!
Wow nice haul. I really enjoyed this video.
Thank you so much Kelley I truly enjoy finding it and sharing my Joy!!! There's so much thrill in the hunt and finding second hand miniatures! Thank you so much for being here and allowing me to share! 💖😃☺️
Hoarding!?! 😱 Now you know we don't hoard😉 we just happen to have more accessories to accessorize any of the precious accessory pieces we come across or have in our arsenal LOL 😂😂!! A girls gotta have options, and the accessories in our collections are what make our world more colorful and interesting than those of others around us. I mean, I could quote page number, section, and paragraph in the International Dollshouse Builder's Regulation Handbook for clarification if necessary but I'm sure you trust my expertise in matters such as these 🤣🤣! Seriously though, the dresser and side table are so unique! I've never seen kit, mass produced, or artisan pieces like them anywhere. What a find!! I would also speculate the couch and chair are artisan pieces, based on the pieces being signed and the length of time between the making of the two pieces. Also, the majority of miniaturists don't take the time or care to sign kit pieces. The little table is precious and everything is spot on!! 🥰🥰🥰
That is a Great observation KELLY !!! OH My Gosh! I appreciate that so much that really really gives a really good barometer of how to make the distinction between artisan and Kit creations! THAT'S Such a Great observation!! 💯
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 thank you ❤️ It's not a 100% theory, but knowing they way I and some other creators interact with pieces it's a good baseline to have in our tool box. ❤️❤️
I love your videos, no matter what you do. ❤
I appreciate that Connie! I always want to make it Fun!😄💖
I have a container for that sort of trash items. When the container is full i have to stop collecting, or throw out the less interesting things. If i don't restrict myself like that, it will become a serious problem.😂
Enjoyed the video as always!❤
I KNOW RIGHT!! It is so true you definitely have to restrict and monitor yourself or we could end up on one of those TV shows about..... "excessive collectors " 😂🤣🫣😆🤭☺️💖
I collect little bits and baubles like that, too (Oodles! 😳 But everything has potential, it's hard to pass on it), as does my aunt, and she dubbed them her Might Could Use'ms. I now have a MightCouldUse'm Room instead of an art studio. 🤣 Also, that same aunt has the same (people sized) table as the little folding one there. Thanks for the post, your videos are always such fun. 💖
Oh my goodness Jewell I love this comment the "might could use 'ems" I Love it!!!! I love how creative people are imaginative and creative in all areas of their lives I love that!!! Thank you isn't that a darling little table, I was so tickled when the seller. offered it to me! Because it wasn't a part of the original deal 😄 Thank you so much for sharing Jewell this comment it truly made me Smile 😄☺️🤭😍😄!!!! I'm so glad you're here!!! 💖💖💖
Fabulous score, Gretchen! You got some terrific treasures this time! Especially the chair and sofa, and that gracious gateleg tea table. I expect there'll be some lovely tea parties this Spring ...
Thank you yes I definitely have some wonderful plans for that set in the new project!!! I can't wait to share with you dolls what I'm planning!!!!
Great job on these finds! So many unique pieces and they are all beautiful. I wonder what you’re going to work on next. I hope it’s what I think it might be 😊. xoxo
Thank you so much! I have so many things I have to make my list is longer than my arm!!! That's why I'm so behind on my comments I'm glad you dolls are understanding!!!☺️☺️☺️💖
Some very useful pieces there Gretchen, love the furniture but I really love that sofa and chair, they’re in amazing condition, looking forward to seeing the wooden pieces when you have worked your magic on them lol, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Thanks so much Julie! 😊💖💖💖
You truly have the knack of finding so many great pieces!
Lololollol!!!!THANK YOU you! Nessie!! I promise I'm a straight-up Scavenger!! I was literally shopping out of the trunk of her car in a parking lot!!!😂😂🤭☺️💖💖💖💖
Lol, I don't need any encouragement to keep too much random stuff....I am trying to get half of my "stuff" into new homes.
Fantastic pieces you found. I’m going to have to, have a look, at some of these kinds of pieces too. Thank you so much, for the advice, suggestions, tips & tricks and affordable knowledge on everything miniature. I appreciate it a ton. Thank you Doll. 🤗
You are so welcome! 😀 I just try to share and all the little things I've learned along the way to keep collecting miniatures FUN AND NOT just for the elite.💖😊😊😍💖💖
I also keep the hanger ribbons from shirts!
Yes Shyra they're the perfect size and they're usually in cute colors! Plus I've never really found a real "purpose" for them inside of the shirts!🤭☺️😍 I see them as *free gifts"! 😂
Beautiful pieces🌹
Thank you! 🤗💖💖💖
Years ago l use to have a membership with House of Minature. It was a mail over kit you got each month for 5$
Yes those were the good old days!!! But the cool part is they have tons of them on eBay!!
The vanity is by Real Life miniatures . It's part of a full bedroom set. The night stand is from the same set. You are missing the mirror to the vanity.
Hi thanks Donna! That's nice to know I didn't realize "House of Miniatures" made FULL Room kits! I only saw them im and only individual pieces! Another subscriber said that they thought it was a "Real Life Miniatures" Victorian bedroom set. I'll have to research it to see if I can find it on EBAY! I would love to have the rest of the pieces!! Thank you for the info!!! 😊💖☺️
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665Ooops, I MEANT to say "Real Life miniatures". Sigh, that's what happens when I'm distracted by your fun videos. Anyway, it's part of the Victorian bedroom set, and I suspect, given your skill set, you can easily replicate the missing vanity mirror. It was a faux mirror made with mylar.
I haven’t thought about Real Life Miniature kits for decades. You have a great eye. Dale Kendall. “Jeannetta Kendall Miniatures”
Beautiful couch and chair, you scored! 😃
Thank you Beth! 😊 That is truly how I feel!☺️🤭💖
Those are sweet finds! 💐😻😻
I think so too! I'm really excited about naturalizing them into my collection for the new project.😃💖
I would be to!
One question, how do I know when I have too many “bits n bobs” that I’ve saved My husband wants to know 😂😂😂😂.
My favourite job is fixing up broken furniture thanks to you ❤ and I’m still collecting the house of miniatures too.
Good question! And I will never have an answer for it you just know what you know!!😂🤭🤣😂💖💖💖💖💖
Wow, that couch and chairs were really something. I actually made a dressing table that is a bit reminiscent of that two level marble top piece. I wonder if someone will find it in 50 years and think it is a find. It was pretty nice, I thought. Where the heck do you find all this stuff. I troll Craigs List, Ebay, Offer-Up and Etsy, but I never find old broken pieces to fix up. What's your secret?
LOL I usually "STALK" eBay for broken dollhouse miniatures but one day I was randomly looking on Facebook marketplace for the doll house miniatures I found these pieces. The lady I bought them from had me meet her and the police station parking lot. She had stuff in her trunk. It was the wildest dollhouse miniature purchase ever!😆🤭☺️
Wow, what a weird story. I once helped a woman out who was being harassed in a bar by pretending to be her long lost friend. Later she told me that her "godfather" had had her previous husband "put away" because he hit her. (She told me, "I told him my godfather was bigger than his, but he didn't listen.") Then her new husband (Tony who "worked at the race track" but was wearing a 100% camel hair coat) came and it all became clear to me whom I was dealing with. But no worries. Tony loved me for saving his wife and invited me to a party at their mansion. But your parking lot story may be better.@@littlegretchensworkshop7665
Too late to warn me against hoarding lol!
I'm right at the edge I'm trying to back away and warn others!🤭😂🫣😃🤣💖
