dollhouse miniature HAUL • Artisan minis you've Never seen • Unboxing

[@Jean-vl2nf]

You need a 1/12th dollhouse for so many of your beautiful 1/12th miniatures 😊

[@queencityminis]

That would be cool! Maybe one day I'll decorate a dollhouse of my own.

[@kimberlyforrest3676]

Cinderella's furry friends ate enjoying their feast. That table is perfect for a Cinderella diorama.

[@queencityminis]

Aww so true

[@sherrygibbs7547]

The outhouse on my grandparents farm had two holes....one small (for children) and one large (for adults). My mom would have to come with us kids, when we were small, because we were afraid of getting locked in there or falling in or during the winter (to help us get undressed and hold up our jackets, out of the way). Since the outhouse was a bit of a walk from the house, she would use the facility at the same time as we were going...so, fortunately there were two holes to sit on. 😊

[@queencityminis]

That sounds so awful! I am so grateful for indoor plumbing

[@sherrygibbs7547]

That wooden craft piece is actually a quilting frame, you pin your quilt to each side and quilt it as you roll it, it will keep it tight. Those 2 pieces that look like a salt and pepper shaker are actually chess pieces from a travel kit. My favorite pieces are the unicorns and the sea shell shadow boxes. I also love the bathroom set too, I can see a pink tiled walls and put the jacuzzi up next to it. Have a great day

I know I'm late to the party, but the larger tub with the bucket in yellow with dark trim, and a wash board (5:49)? That larger tub is for bathing! The way the sides angle is perfect for resting the arms. When I was very young, this what my grandparents bathed in (separately of course!).

[@queencityminis]

Oh wow! That doesn't seem ideal lol

[@flash2tz]

@queencityminis the running water in the house was from a hand pump on the closed in porch where you would bathe. You'd manually pump buckets of well water, heat it on the old coal stove, then pour it into the tub. Yeah, not fun. Especially if you were a modest little girl..

[@sandrakorpela1850]

This is a great video. Like a lot of people I can't afford to buy miniatures and seeing these is a help when you have to make your own (more fun making your own anyway!)

[@queencityminis]

Glad it was helpful! I know what you mean. I've made a few minis after seeing an expensive version.

If you haven't used the rubber duck yet, you might be able to take a mold of it to cast silicone versions. That'll give that rubbery feel.

We call it a quilting frame here in Kentucky.

[@shirleygragg8795]

The glass vase might be from Italy. They are very talented with glass miniatures. The wooden rack looks like my quilt rack. It’s for when you are actually sewing the quilt by hand.

[@queencityminis]

Thanks for the info!

[@DawnDavidson]

The mouse stealing the cheese is just too cute! I think you should cast your Bundt pan as well, so you can create more Bundt cakes for a bakery. :) The “flask” from a bead is extremely clever! Excellent look for something so simple.

[@queencityminis]

Great idea!! Thank you. I forgot all about casting the Bundt.

[@suecox2308]

Others have probably told you, but the wooden piece is a quilting frame--the unfinished quilt is pinned onto the frame and the ratchets allowed the quilt to be rolled up as the work progressed. There are similar things used for larger pieces of embroidery and needlepoint so which you have would depend on the size.

[@queencityminis]

I wish I had patience for sewing. Maybe I'd make a quilt for it.

[@elizabethtichenor]

Omg the mouse 😍. I also love the sink with chip. Beautiful ❤

[@queencityminis]

[@dinky6620]

I think the vintage bucket and the thing with the washboard in it, is actually a 19th century bathtub and the bucket was used to bring water. I saw these in the old westerns.

[@queencityminis]

Oh, that's possible! I've never heard of that. It makes sense

[@dinky6620]

@queencityminis lol, my hubby watches alot of westerns, and I grew watching them...I remembered that shape. You know what, they used things back then for more than 1 purpose, so I can see a lady standing behind the tall end washing clothes.

[@cheryllee9599]

Hi I also love the mouse table. So cute! My own personal favorite mini I own is a 1/12th replica of the Christmas stocking my Aunt gave me the Christmas before I was born. (which is in Jan) My stocking is now 681/2 years old. It is dark red felt with white velvet and a large netting at the top and piping along all the seams. There is a large angel on the front of the stocking with a pearl head and lots of embellishments. I did my best to replicate it and it looks pretty darn close. The mini one is only about an inch high, the real one fits my foot and comes below my knee. It was certainly a challenge to make but very rewarding. You do amazing work.

[@queencityminis]

That is such a cool idea! That sounds like an amazing miniature. My favorite miniature is a Hallmark ornament of the 1998 Barbie Dreamhouse. It's a plastic, mass produced piece, but I have so many great memories surrounding that dollhouse.

[@wendydana8642]

That one piece is more of an embroidery stand, than a loom. It was, and still is, used for doing very large embroidery pieces that won't fit in your typical hoops. I actually have one. heh

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I can't even imagine doing an embroidery that big. I suppose back when people had no electronics to distract themselves, the idea of spending so much time embroidering a large piece wasn't so strange but still.

Loved your video. I like the quiet for a change. Enjoyed seeing part of your mini collection. Seems you have quite an extensive collection. That wooden piece you were asking if anyone recognized I believe is a rug or embroidery frame. My sister uses one while she’s doing her embroidery. What state are you located in? I’m in NY. Would you be interested in any miniatures I have that once I decide I’m at that age I shouldn’t keep them any longer? I’m sure my family would probably just donate them or dispose of them. It would make me happy to know someone would enjoy them. I’m guessing by your voice you have MANY wonderful years left to enjoy your treasures.

[@queencityminis]

Thanks for the feedback regarding the lack of music. That makes a lot of sense. It probably is some kind of rug or embroidery frame. Maybe I'll find some embroidered fabric to pair with it or wrap a rug around it. Sure! Message me at [e-mail] and we can discuss your collection.
