Thrift with Me at Mission Thrift Store for One Sixth Scale Miniatures for Barbie

[@nancybraswell104]

That chunky diamond thing would have made a neat basin sink for Marilyn Monroe's bathroom. Love the tapestry you got. It will make a lovely rug.

[@gregoryreed4866]

Or even a great crystal bowl with something in it on a table

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

That's an awesome idea :) it would have been perfect for Marilyn's bathroom ... thank you

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

awesome idea!

[@jodybrumby8267]

I have a tea light candle holder that looks like that - thank you for the ideas

[@kimberlyforrest3676]

At 11:56, that wicker basket with the cut-out would make a nice large pet bed.

[@jek3.14]

My brain automatically went "Barbie should get a big dog" haha

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Definitely.... I already have a smaller one .... thanks so much for watching and commenting

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

lol... barbie has a smaller bed :)

[@kiranMukati]

Love the rug n metal pieces ❤

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you sooooo much :)

[@tnsketch4711]

i'm not sure if they would look right since they have 2 sides but the metal napkin holders in the beginning could be fireplace screens. and the small basket that had a dip in the side would have made a cute pet bed.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

That's a great idea, I would have to somehow cut it in half....probably not so easy... I have a similar dog bed but a lot smaller :) thanks so much!

[@sharonkaysnowton]

It always amazes me that you see an item and your brain automatically knows what you will do with it. My brain goes "What can I do with it?" I did like the napkin rings. You should have purchased the snow man for an outside scene. I like the shelf paper also. The doilies are too cute and look good on the kitchen table. I love the tapestry. Too cute!!! It will look good in Marilyn Monroe's apartment. I can see it sitting in front of a sofa. I like that you go shopping with a particular budget in mind. I can easily blow my budget, though I try really hard not to. (ja.ja) I am currently working on a new dollhouse for a friend. She will use it in an auction for church. This doll house will be an Alice In Wonderland themed house, just because I have lots of extra "stuff" to use in it. (ja, ja) Thanks for your video. I enjoyed it.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Hey Sharon, hope you're doing well :) sometimes I do miss things, I sit and watch the video and get angry for not grabbing something, because i think of what i can do with it, but it's too late :) Your dollhouse sounds so cute :) thank you so much for watching :)

[@beverlyhall2847]

Absolutely love the rug and the mini little doilies. You got some nice bargains today.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thanks so much 😊

[@composing-chaos]

I love using mug mats, placemats, and doilies as throw rugs. I wish our store had metal bits bagged up. I love finding scrolled bits and bobs to use in my wedding decor.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Mug mats, would love to find some of those :) i found some really cool metal bits, but I try to grab a bag or two whenever I go back.... they definitely come in handy.... would make amazing wedding decor :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

[@kristinewells961]

I love shopping along with you 🤩👍🏼🎉

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you soooooo much :)

[@jodybrumby8267]

Me too - just wish we had the same kind of stuff in our local thrift stores lol

[@FerylMusic]

If the napkin rings are made from resin you could saw them in half and then use them as wall lights ;)

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

I like that idea.... sconces right? thanks so much

[@bobbietaylor7341]

Love the tapestry rug and the dollies. My favorite is the metal bits. The deer head is awesome!❤

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thanks so much! the deer head was a nice surprise :)

[@DollsandEverythingElse]

Thanks for taking us along. That white basket looked like an awesome basket for a nursery; that diamond type object could be the top of a stool at a vanity for Elizabeth or Marilyn’s diorama; love the rug. I like the napkin rings as light fixtures and I like and the shelf paper for countertops.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thanks for coming with me :) definitely :) I wish you could really come thrifting with me :) so many times while I'm editing video, i yell at myself for missing something or not coming up with an idea for it :) Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

[@DollsandEverythingElse]

@@GingerLolaMiniatures I love thrifting too and because of you I see things differently when searching for items for my dioramas or dollhouse. Thank you.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you soooooo much :) Mission is definitely my favourite thrift store, I find the prices so much better than the others, plus that metal baggy wall :) thanks again :)

[@monachinn1576]

The Rug was a great find.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thanks so much :)

[@Dollsanity]

Thank you for sharing. Your videos continue to improve my eye for what is possible to use in my own dioramas.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you soooooo much :)

[@RTgemini]

Great thrift, lots of finds for crafting! 🤗 I just love the area rug for Marylin or Elizabeth's diorama! 😍 Great metal pieces, too. I'm learning a lot of ways to be creative from you for my 1:12 and 1:6 scale dollhouses. 🤩 The minute you picked up the napkin rings and table clamps, I immediately thought lighting and shelving! 😂👍🏾

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you! 😊 soooo much :) that makes me happy :)

[@Kimella777]

❤😊the rug was my favorite 😊

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you :)

[@lorimaeder1245]

They have some awesome stuff. Thank you for shopping and I didn't spend a dime. Thank God I don't live there I'd go broke.❤️✝️🙏

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

lol :) thank you sooooo much :)

[@nema2375]

The metal thing at 55 seconds would have been a nice bar table

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

I was thinking a clothing rack for a boutique, but gosh darnitt, it would have made a cool table too :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

[@nema2375]

@@GingerLolaMiniatures you never know, swing back there when you are in the area

[@Sabrina-46247]

Love it

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you :)

[@estherwijnbeek8072]

My favourites in this haul were the metal pieces and the lace/band material and your mini rug; I am really looking forward to you starting the Marylyn Monroe /Liz Tayler roomboxes :) I got a whole bag full of old jewelry/craftmaterial from an friend of a friend when I visited my parents and had so much fun sorting everything out.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thanks so much 😊 can't wait to work on those dioramas, but i have a few projects before i start those :) that's cool, old jewelry works great in small scale :)

[@jonihenry8124]

The rug is gorgeous!! I about cried when you passed the 1:12 porcelain dolls! 😅

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you :) sorry about that

[@jonihenry8124]

Ha, it's alright. I've just never seen them for sale at a thrift store before. Love you videos.

[@hollyingraham3980]

The lamp mat will make a gorgeous rug. The bead caps are too small for 1:6 lighting, I think. The strip of lace is marvelous for doilies - so thin! The morsel of marble paper can cover some kitchen counters or the vanity in a bathroom.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Is that what it is, a lamp mat? cool to know....thanks ... love the lace doilies :) definitely great as a backsplash too :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

[@gregoryreed4866]

The glass square would’ve made a great tabletop

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

That's what I was hoping but there was something etched on, I'm on the lookout for a clear one, and round preferably over square :)

[@shepherd4406]

I am sure you have been told this before, but you would make a good interior decorator.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you sooooo much :) I actually took a few courses in interior design but then ended up doing graphic design :)

[@kimberlyharris9712]

You are an amazing artist. You inspire me to get my doll work done. I do the same thing too, scour thrift stores for 1:6 scale finds 😊

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

Thank you so much! That's so cool, definitely fun :)

[@Ms.D-loves-minis3]

3:20 I thought you might get the wire unit on the middle shelf as the framework for a bed 😁 It would look really nice as a headboard in one of the celebrities’ apartments or in the pink apartment since it was a nice light color (although you could easily just paint it). You’d just need to extend off from the sides to make the rest of the bed frame into a nice queen or king size bed and it’s quite sturdy (but, that’s just my opinion)😊 Otherwise, you got some really nice items that I look forward to seeing in your dioramas in the future ✨💖✨

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

omg you're so right.... and i'm actually looking for bed ideas for the pink pop bedroom, I want to start that soon, urghhhh it would have been perfect :( ... thanks so much :)

[@opalcarroll3195]

Maybe the metal acorn caps could be decorative bells!

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

I like that idea :) acorns....that's what they are :)

[@FerylMusic]

If you manage to get hold of a Barbie-scale bath tub, could you cover the outside with the marble paper?…

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

I found a couple of 'tubs' for Barbie, a pink one for the pink pop diorama, and i thrifted one recently, you'll see in an upcoming video :) pretty sure i could apply the marble paper around the tub....that would look cool :)

[@verashkolnikova9800]

Is it a mission store on Young? If it is, then how will you deal with smell from fabric? They use some kind of disinfectant that is impossible to get rid of!

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

ewww really? nope this one is in Mississauga :) eeks, i'll have to smell any fabric i buy now, thank you :)
