Earth and Tree Miniatures is easily one of the best places on planet Earth. I visited this 3,000+ sq ft dollhouse miniature store in person. I scored a bunch of fantastic items. I bought a table for $1 and gave it a quick makeover as well.
They have thousands of dollhouse minis listed on their website, so check them out! This small business is female owned and has been in business for over 30 years.
Some of my favorite things:
Double-sided flooring tape
amzn.to/423tJwL
Miter Shears- these are the clippers I use to cut pieces of wood and toothpicks etc
amzn.to/3sQJnhe
123 blocks
amzn.to/49IF5sk
Dirty Down Rust Effect paint
amzn.to/3xjxOBu
Oyu Pla/Oyumaru reusable mold putty
amzn.to/44KaaJz
Cheaper clear mold putty I haven't tried
amzn.to/45JiAlB
2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zmMLR1
8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zpiMbm
Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.
amzn.to/3YBAIcH
Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine
amzn.to/3ZZ5wWe
Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch

We are so glad you made out with a great haul!! We love it when are bargain bin is loaded!!! Thank you so much for all the love and support!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for operating such an incredible store!
I visited the only dollhouse shop near me. She is not online because she doesn't have anyone that would photograph the millions of items in the store. I was overwhelmed walking in. I need a whole day just to get aquainted with the set up 😂. There are dollhouses, room boxes and product filling this place haphazardly. I had to run out and add quarters to the parking meter . I will make a plan to go back one day when I feel my ocd can handle it. Until then I will check out earthntree. Thank you Shyra❣️
You're welcome! Earth & Tree Miniatures is filled with items, but they're arranged by category, type, scale etc. There are lots of dollhouses set up with items on display inside. Practically everything is for sale. They even design and mill their own dollhouses, room boxes, and additions etc.
I have seen you mention this shop in other videos, but I am SOLD after this haul! My family lives In Manchester (also where I grew up), and I think I’m going to have to make the trek over to Earth and Tree next time I’m home for a visit. That brass lamp and the andirons are so rad. Can’t wait to see what you make with the rest of this haul!
That stuck bin in the fridge looks an awful like the bin that's hopelessly stuck in my fridge. 😂 Art imitates life!
Oh no 😆 No produce storage for you
I used to work in Amherst and I had no idea this existed! I’m going there today!
That's awesome! You will have an absolute blast. There is so much to see. It's like being at a museum but everything's for sale.
I love the idea of a fallout shelter.
I'm feeling the same way. I added the idea to my notes on my phone. I have a running list of video ideas on my phone.
Omg meeee too i would love to see her creative self make one. She would do it such justice!! ❤
I grew up in a Scandinavian country, and those kitchen pieces gave me some serious nostalgia. Very accurate for kitchens of that time.
Aww, that's so sweet! Nice to know
I would love to visit that shop😍😊
It's the absolute best.
I had the same bathroom suite in green when I was a child, it was a Lundby set. with razor, soap dish, soap and towel. possibly tooth brush and toothpaste as well...
I haven't made miniatures for a couple of years now, lack of time and too many hobbies, but watching your videos gives me some ideas....thank you 🙏
Get back into it! Making minis is the absolute best
@@queencityminis I will. 😍
I love your $4 lamp, well spotted! What a fabulous sale table. I was as thrilled for you as if I had discovered them for myself.
Thank you! Cheap, plastic 12 v lamps cost 5x as much. It was a great find.
I got this cute French vintage paper craft kit from this shop and there were several pieces were missing. The owner of this shop made it totally up to me and made it so easy! This is an amazing miniatures shop! Your finds are so great!
I'm not surprised! You don't stay in business for 30 years unless you know what you're doing and you have great customer service. They survived several crashed economies and the pandemic.
Howdy, loved watching this video; would love to go to that shop and spend a day or two going thru every inch of the 3k sq ft of space lol Thanks for sharing.
It's so much fun. I spent 5 hours my first trip. I only left bc they were closing.
It is Michael Jackson in the bottom one two 😂😂😂 nice haul . Can't wait to see what you do. Love your work 😍
Oh, thank you! I was googling pics of Keith Richards thinking it was him 😆
and Brooke Shields in the top picture with Michael Jackson. Does no one recognize her any more? hehe She was quite popular when I was a child in the 70s and early 80s
I wondered if anyone was going to comment about it being MJ. I was going to if no one else did. 😊
‘Im sure I can find a use for these strange crafting materials’ sums up my thought process perfectly when i see almost anything 😂
I wish there was a dollhouse store near me but the closest one if 3hours away ☹️
Ugh! That's quite the hike for sure
The Lundby sets are so cute! ❤ I love how you’re able to see the potential in everything, and even more how you’re able to bring that potential out!
Thank you so much!!
Shyra, Once again your timing is perfect! Last weekend at a swap meet I bought a group of miniatures. The Queen Anne candle stand was missing two of its legs. On another channel, the miniaturist received one as a gift from a viewer. I had mentioned about my broken one I just bought and ask suggestions on how to repair it? The same nice viewer said she has another candle stand, with one missing leg, and she would send me the parts to fix mine! 🥰 Now, Shyra, you showed me how to repair it!! Thanks so much! 👏🎉☺️
I love that! Great timing. Enjoy 😊
Magnets! Use your tiny magnets to hold the last bathroom cupboard door on so that you don't have to glue the door on! Great video! ❣
That's a great idea! Thank you 😁
Yes! I love supporting local small businesses! You got some great pieces! My local community center is going to start a miniature craft class! I will definitely support Earth and Tree Miniatures!
I love supporting Earth & Tree. Normally, you need pay more than you otherwise would to support a small business, but their prices are the best anyway.
Pretty fantastic Lunby pieces. All the scrap pieces of wood will come in handy for building lots of different things. I enjoyed your video of your haul from earth n tree.
Thanks! I wish I had shown my previous Earth & Tree Miniature hauls.
I remember that red container of Herr billion cubes from when I was a child in the early 70s so you're right on the money there 😂
Excellent haul
That's awesome! Thank you
Obsessed with your Lundby pieces!! So lucky to
Have found such sweet deals on them!
Glad you like them! You'll need to take a trip to New Hampshire sometime :)
The Lundby pieces are so fabulous! I mean the sprayer in the dishwasher is an incredible detail. The andirons- gorgeous! Great haul! Lucky you to have a brick and mortar shop to visit. 😍
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm really lucky I have Earth & Tree Miniatures nearby.
Great buys. Can't wait to see how you will incorporate these items in your projects. Have a wonderful day.🥰
Thank you! You too!
How fun! I remodeled a metal dollhouse in 1:18 scale into an English country cottage. I really enjoyed figuring out how to apply stucco to the exterior (gluing coarse fabric to the entire exterior helped the glue/spackle mixture to adhere as well as the thatch on the roof). Lundby is a super cute scale. You really found some treasures there!
That sounds like so much fun! Did you fill your house with Petite Princess & Lundby things?
@@queencityminis I had some 1:18 scale items but I made or modified the rest.
Omg what a fantastic place! Good job I'm too far away to visit cos I'd want to spend a whole week in there 😍
My late mum decorated Goose eggs years ago with miniature pearls,gems, hinges & handles and used metal stands (like the item you said you might turn into a doll table base) to glue them in. They might have a different use in the US but it looks identical to some she had.
I also love what you did with the tall plant stand's legs, it really brought it to life 👏👏👌
That's so cool! I'm decorating a Goose Egg dollhouse myself.
I’m in loooove with the corner cabinet and those 25 cent bags !
The 25 cent bags are so much fun. I force myself to leave some behind for others, but I want all of them!
Can you get them online? @@queencityminis
Wow, nice items-I love the 1970s kitchen & bathroom sets. I need to put Earth n Tree Miniatures on my list of places to shop!
You should! It's the best place ever!
The white set is Lundby. You got all those Lundby pieces for a fantastic deal, especially the new kitchen set.
Oh thank you! There was a piano in bench I left behind. I realize that was Lundby too. The prices at Earth and Tree miniature really are the best, for their vintage pieces, artisan pieces, and the mass produced things they sell.
I did check out this store, I think I need more time to look at everything, there us quite a selection. Sure wish we had one here in Texas. TFS
It's such a fantastic store. Visit their website www.earthntree.com
I'm so thankful for the share of their website, you had an awesome haul.
My pleasure! It's my favorite store
@@queencityminis I checked out the website OH MY🤩 the dollhouses they build are awesome.
Wow! How lovely vintage items! I wish we have shops like this in Spain. I will visit the online shop. Thank you!
Please do!
Great finds! TFS! Kathleen
Thank you so much, Kathleen!
loved seeing what you got! i can only dream of going there someday... I know they have an online store but nothing is as satisfying as digging through the discount bin in person!
Their store is fantastic, but it is really fun hitting the sales table for sure.
Earthen Tree owner: what happened to our sale table?
Worker: Shira.
This was very entertaining! You always disclose prices and plans and do small projects on your haul videos. I feel like I went shopping with you.
Thank you! I'm always curious about prices myself, and I love a good mini makeover.
You got some awesome prices on the items you bought👍 Red is my favorite color so I love the red kitchen set!😊😊
I love it too!
You got a lot of good deals. I like that you are able and willing to repair your finds. I have to have an area that I can keep my cats out of before I start working on miniatures. I seriously need to clean out my craft room. Over the years, its been used for storage. 😢
My cats don't get into my stuff but they make noise during voiceover
I will have to check the store out online.
That was a great haul, and you have some great ideas.
Please do! www.earthntree.com
I got to visit Earth and Tree once and really hope to go back. What a great place!
It really is! I absolutely love it.
My family lives in NH and isn’t *too* far from Amherst (another Queen City, Manchester!) - next time I go visit them I’m going to have to plan a day trip to spend all my money at Earth & Tree, haha. I was so bummed to discover my local dollhouse shop in VA didn’t make it through the pandemic. RIP, Lilliput’s!
Please do! You'll have a blast at Earth & Tree.
Sorry to hear about your local shop.
Love the blur bathroom set.
It's really cool for sure
Love Earth & Tree!
It's the best!
Loved the furniture pieces ! Would love to see what you do with all those great finds !
I don't have any 1:16 houses etc, so idk
I would love to go, those bags are fun. but I am a bit far away. I am danish and I can tell that the dining room furniture are a very well known swedish style, so probably Lundby as well. the only1:16 piece I have is a chair designed by a danish designer. all my other dollhouse stuff is 1:12 and in that house it is always christmas!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
OMGoodness! I’ve gotta drive up there next weekend! I hope to find some goodies like this.
Good luck!! How exciting. You'll find great things.
Nice video! I want to visit this shop in person one day! I have personally bought windows from their online store, they were beautiful and a reasonable price. Can't wait to see your future projects!😊
Thank you! You'll have to plan a trip to New England.
My jaw dropped at how great the prices were! I wish I wasn’t so far from them!
I'm always impressed with their prices. This is why they've been in business for 30 years!
Nice watching them
Thanks for watching 😊
Every fridge has that one drawer that doesn’t open like the others lol! You can use a soda bottle if it fits as a closh ( sp?) great find I will definitely check out their site since I live in ny
Thanks for the tip! Check out their site for sure
I’m heading to Earth and Tree today for some supplies and chat. I need lumber (I call it that to feel big) and I want to see their haul from the Chicago show.
That's awesome! I hope you enjoyed your trip 😊
@@queencityminisI did, as always. I came out with a big bag this time, and I forgot something so oh no I’ll have to go back….
Oh, WOW ! I live in NH and I've been there a few times when I collected 1:12 miniatures (now it's American Girl dolls so larger doll items). I haven't been there since 2020 and Covid but wondered if they were still open. Haven't watched the video yet but I will, just wanted to make this comment first.
Earth & Tree survived the pandemic and they're going strong. My first visit was 5 hours. I had to leave bc they were closing. There's so much to see.
Similar to what I searched for; discounted items that I could use to make 1:12 furnishings. I did spend a lot of money on expensive items like a roast on a platter to go on a dining room table (which I paid a lot for that, too). My local Hobby Lobby has dollhouse items but they aren't discounted prices but not as expensive as the dollhouse furniture at Earth & Tree. Not as well made either, more like what you picked up on sale. Prices have increased over the last two years but some items some have the older prices on them.
What a brilliant haul! I am so jealous, there are absolutely zero miniature shops anywhere near me, heck I don't even think there any on the whole island! Love all the items and bargains you found, so cool!!!
I believe Earth & Tree ships to Canada...
@@queencityminis I live in New Zealand which is better known for its hobbits but I'd hardly class them as miniatures lol. I'm pretty sure a few of the guys I dated in my 20s were Orcs tho...😳😆😆😆
I freaking love this store. When I first found them I spent like 4 hours there. I live close enough that I have to be really deliberate about how often I go or I would spend all my money there 😂
It's truly the best! I spent 5 hours my first time. I had to leave bc they were closing.
The 1:16 cabinet and chairs are most likely Lundby. Because that kind of furniture is in the Gustav III style. I have a dining room table with chairs in the same style (not miniature). The flowers in the rosettes on the top of the chairs legs should be painted gold if you'd want it to be accurate,
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing
I got a lundby piece in stuff someone was going to throw away! They are so cool. I love your pieces!
You're a hero! Thank you for rescuing it.
I love the kitchen and bathroom sets with the table & chairs. With the toilet brush you can use a small wood dowel and a pipe cleaner shaped into a ring, glue inside the dowel for more realism. That kitchen set with the stove and dish washer is really cute, you can always change the color of the back splash to match. You did good at the store also. Have a great day
Great idea!! Thank you 😊
Also good for tiny handles is to strip a short length of electrical wire and use the outer plastic. I made a tiny paint roller from pipe cleaner this way
Wow, these were so reasonable in price and beautiful!
They are! www.earthntree.com is the best dollhouse store
I’ve been wanting to take trip to this place based on your mentions. I live in NJ now but from the south west corner of NH. I’ll have to take a detour next time I go back home. I love how you demonstrate and so examples of your visions for these little things. How do you remember all of your ideas long term????
You must visit! You'll be amazed. It's an incredible store.
I have a list, "TH-cam video ideas", in my Samsung Notes app on my phone.
I have a Lundby house and so for after a year only have kitchen appliances. So looking for more to finish rehabbing my house.
I love the little diy kits. Would really like to get a collection to make.
www.earthntree.com
They have lots of kits!
Your Lundby house sounds great. It'll be satisfying once you fill it up
Today is the Sacramento dollhouse show and my daughter and I are going and we can’t wait to find all our treasures
That's so exciting! Have fun
Great review ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
Only have one miniature shop left in Michigan. So have to rely on internet shopping. I would like to support shop owners. Will go to this website to see what I can get some kits (DIY)
Thanks for supporting Earth & Tree! www.earthntree.com
you are so creative to use the pieces you collect... great ideas. I would like to know what you do with all that you make?
you must have hundreds of houses dioramas, and all the little vignettes that you make. what do you do with all them?
do you sell somewhere?
So far, most of what I've made is in a couple plastic boxes. I am open to selling things in the future. I've only been making Minis for a few years so I have an accumulated too many things I've made yet. When I set up my new studio, I'll display things and do a studio tour.
@@queencityminis I love how you repurpose items
you think outside the box.!
I'm hoping to be as good as you. when I get going.
you are awesome ! ♥️
Very nice finds. Looks like I’ve missed a few videos. This happens every time youtube does an update. On many channels I follow.
Welcome back! Make sure you are subscribed and hit the bell notification for all videos to be notified.
@@queencityminis I’ve always been subscribed and I have you on all notifications. 🤷♀️
The wood plant table is a House of Miniature kit
Oh cool! Thanks for the info! I love it.
love that store!
It's truly the best.
I went to one once in Florida and it was so chaotic. E & T is really well organized.
A fellow New Hampshirite!
Visit Earth & Tree! I'm from Massachusetts
I really need to get over there lol
Yes, you do..it's the best!
FYI, in case you didn't know, the woman with Michael Jackson is Brooke Shields. Couldn't see the face on the other person.
Oh! Thank you. I vaguely recognized her
I just subscribed to your channel love it. I live in Manchester nh not far from this shop, I am definitely going there. Do you live in NH?
You should absolutely visit Earth & Tree in Amherst, NH! It's the best ever. Email me queencitydollminiatures@gmail.com
❤❣
The best 👌
I want so much Lundby things but, my 1:18th things are all medieval (I found that 1:16th works pretty good for 18th scenes. I would need to be forcibly removed from that shop!
Medieval sounds great! If you have access to a cutting machine, maybe you could scale down Heather Tracy's files. Some are free on TH-cam.
For sure..I spent 5 hours there my first visit. I left bc they were closing.
I forgot to ask which queen city you are from? Charlotte NC?
I'm actually from Massachusetts!
The razor is original😊
So cute!
Make Lucille of that bat
I had to Google that. I've never seen the Walking Dead.
@@queencityminis iam not a fan of it either but i love the man who has it. My favorite show is Supernatural and he was the dad , but everytime i see a bat i think of that. Even in supernatural in an episode they talk about Lucille
Can you please tell me what the tole is called that bend paper. Example all the fold lines for mini books. TIA.
Tool
A bone folder? Or a scoring board?
They looked like pliers but they just folded paper without cutting. I’m sorry to bug you thought again it was you showing this tool. I know how busy you are packing. 😊
Love everything! Those Lundby pieces are fabulous!! Wish I lived closer to NH! 😊
You'll have to visit!
