I couldn't believe that Michael's had all of those different bathtubs at once; they must really be in style for home decorating. I suppose those chairs would look okay as a prop, but I already have a few chairs for my 16" dolls, so I would only want more chairs if they looked relatively realistic. It's too bad that there isn't a lot available near you. It's fortunate for us here in the US that people like to use mini furniture and dishware items for decoration.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061516124101562117.post-76637783676092219112022-05-04T06:22:01.934-04:002022-05-04T06:22:01.934-04:00Those are some great finds! I agree that, even if ...Those are some great finds! I agree that, even if the bathtubs aren't perfect in scale, they look great on camera and for dioramas. I'm going to keep an eye to see if I find something similar around here. The artificial turf mat is great. For the longest time I've been considering getting a piece of artificial grass from the DIY/Depot store and use it for dioramas and scenes, but I still haven't taken the time to go and actively search for one that would work. The chairs you showed might not work for the dolls to sit on them, but they could look nice as a prop.<br /><br />I have found some items that work in doll scale, but I often have to search high and low for them. We don't have a one-stop shop that carries these stuff, and the stores in my town don't seem to have a wide variety of products. I used to go to a store called Tiger, where I found the chairs I often use for photos, but unfortunately they closed the store that was closer to my town (and even that one wasn't that close). But every time that I go to a store, I keep an eye to anything that could potentially work in 1/6 scale. Sometimes it's not that obvious, but you can find some nice stuff if you go with an open mind. monstercraftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783206408776211745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061516124101562117.post-40876745559474570072022-05-02T21:57:26.532-04:002022-05-02T21:57:26.532-04:00It's too bad that you can't find things li...It's too bad that you can't find things like that where you are, Xanadu. This store also carries things like scrapbook paper and yarn and art supplies, so I think either one of us could rack up a pretty large purchase! The other piece of fake grass that I have, I think I also bought at Michael's; it probably was also for decoration, but of course it's great for dolls. Saving money to buy more dolls is always fun! :)Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061516124101562117.post-9593826243021155162022-05-02T21:27:02.367-04:002022-05-02T21:27:02.367-04:00Oh I am so envious Barb, we have no stores here th...Oh I am so envious Barb, we have no stores here that carry such wonderful items. Love the baths you chose they all look great. I think I would go crazy in Michaels given the opportunity. :) I have some fake grass which I purchased yonks ago, but I had to buy such a large piece. It would have been good to find a "place mat" at the time, it would have saved me money (for more dolls).

I have spent waaaay over my doll budget so what the heck I might as well go all the way. I really appreciate it when bloggers like you try things on for size before we go all the way to the store (in my case 25 miles now that we have a new one). I will definitely be looking into the tubs! I never like the ones available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
