Dollhouse Miniature HAUL • Artisan Minis You've Never Seen • Unboxing

[@maggieauterman3406]

You most definitely have the abilities to make this furniture. Give it a try.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you 😊

[@wardrobelion]

You’re a rescuer! Bravo! Me too😊. I’m so glad you’ve saved these precious items from a possible landfill or destruction.

[@queencityminis]

I'm a bit too much of a rescuer, but it's worth it. Thank you!

[@nancyfair5607]

I love the little corgi and I'm over the moon with the desk and chair. Absolutely beautiful

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much 💓

[@DawnDavidson]

The painted wooden chair is AMAZING!

[@queencityminis]

Absolutely;

[@jamiegallier2106]

I’m a sucker for pitchers and bowls. It’s all so cool! Those butterflies! 🥹 They would look cool framed in a shadow box. Have you ever thought about doing a botanist or old biologist adventurer type ‘study’? Maps, weird jars, note books, curiosities, perhaps some birds, plants. Things they collected and studied, maybe a desk and comfy chair.

[@queencityminis]

That's a really cool idea! Thank you

[@schmittykitty]

The black and wood stained desk chair is absolutely gorgeous! When I was young, we moved into a beach house that included all of the furniture. The house had two or three chairs that looked nearly identical to that one (in full size). In fact, one of the chairs was a rocker. They varied slightly in colors and styles of flowers that were painted on but the style and the black and gold details are spot on! Sadly, the house was burned to the ground by an arsonist and nothing in it survived. I’m so tickled to see that chair and it brings a smile as I remember the simplicity of life during that time. It was also my understanding that the chairs in that house were made during the 40’s or 50’s. (Possibly older.) Thanks for sharing!

[@queencityminis]

Oh my! That's awful, but I'm glad you have fond memories to hang onto.

[@robertine.atelier]

That's great that you still have your first cute miniature ! 🐕

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! 😊 I'm so glad I somehow still have it from 17 years ago or so. I've moved so many times and lost a lot of things.

[@Stella.Star777]

I love all of your videos. I think a great idea to display all your odd bits and pieces, is to make an Antique store. I haven't seen one and I'm sure yours will be fantastic! Also for you to make an Art gallery, that would be an awesome way to display your eclectic art pieces❤

[@queencityminis]

That would be so cute!

[@divinemischief4655]

Such a wonderful.haul. My favourites are definitely, the desk and chair, those tiny houses and of course, the corgi ❤

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! The corgi is a special guy 😉

[@cecoya]

You can use the Unicorns and sea shell shadow boxes in a sun room or a sunny office. My favorites pieces were the Unicorns and the bathroom fixtures. I can see a sunny pink tiled bathroom for them. Thank you for sharing and you have a great day

[@queencityminis]

I love that! Thank you

[@cecoya]

@@queencityminis You are absolutely welcome

[@carolpanzarella5897]

I LOVE the Corgi!!

[@queencityminis]

Thanks! I'm glad I still have him

[@cindymichaud7111]

The Corgi. Absolutely, the Corgi. 💖✝

[@queencityminis]

You have great taste!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I don't know how i missed this HAUL!!! These are BEAUTIFUL PIECES!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much :)

[@thedollcupboard]

Your little corgi is just perfect. I love the birds and the butterflies.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you :) I didn't know anything about sculpting at the time. He is solid polymer clay with no internal support so he slumped in the oven. Still a cutie.

[@dmmomma]

What a great haul!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Jean-vl2nf]

I love your corgi!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I'll display it when I move and set up my new studio

[@vickytimmerman1365]

I love the Hitchcock chair it looks exactly like mine.

[@queencityminis]

That's awesome! I've never seen one in real life.

[@heathermartinez8640]

What a wonderful group of minis! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@queencityminis]

You're welcome :) There's plenty more where that came from!

[@sarapiburn2523]

Love the rocking chair!💜💜💜

[@queencityminis]

It's so sweet 🎂

[@tinynina76]

The corgi you made is so cute. Nice group of minis! I'm not sure what my favorite would be exactly, but I'm leaning toward the desk and chair and the little wire boy. Great vid, thanks!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I was so proud of that little dog at the time, even though he sunk in the oven. I'm actually making a Great Dane dog right now. He's almost done. He looks a bit better than the Corgi! 😆

[@maroulio2067]

I enjoyed this so much and will watch it again. Top choices- the canaries in the pill capsule and the wicker rocker.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! That's awesome. Check out my playlist of Haul videos. I have several others like this one to watch. The little birds are fantastic and the rocker, too! Great choices I forgot that Franklyn Morley's cabinet is among my favorites. It wasn't in the final photo. It's such an awesome piece from a very important miniaturist who helped create IGMA (International Guild of Miniature Artisans).

[@tracybowling1156]

I recently moved from the west coast of FL to the east coast. Anyway, there is a beach back on the west coast called Coquina Beach. Because Coquinas live there. They are teeny bivalved shelled creatures. Like clams. Those would be perfect for something like the sea shadow box. I'm not sure yet what we have here on this coast. I'll be on the lookout, though.

[@queencityminis]

That sounds great! Have a look

[@TinyTreasures5755]

Love everything. You can use a heat tool to melt the glue on the chair to get the cushion out. TFS 💕

[@queencityminis]

Thank you :) I love my heat gun! Thanks for sharing

[@garbagechan]

the bowl at 4:00 reminds me of a kava bowl but the intentional grooves i dont think are traditionally included in a kava bowl? admittedly i first learned about them from sims 4 so i am definitely not a reliable resource lol but online research shows that some other wooden bowls with grooves may be used like a pestle and mortar just thought id share since i checked on it a little bit!

[@queencityminis]

I googled it and I think you're right. It really does look like a kava bowl, or at least inspired by it.

[@debbralehrman5957]

Lovely👍🏼🌺

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! 😊

[@camberwins]

Girl! Look at you at almost 2K subs! Way to go! These are some of my favorite videos that you do. I've probably said this before, but I would love to come over to your house and sort through all of your miniatures! Maybe one day, when I'm back up in that next of the woods, which will be the year after never, but a girl can dream, right?

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I thought I have a lot of minis but you should check out Whitney LaBrie's channel. She's been collecting for way longer and she bought a U-Haul of minis! That's a massive haul! I love her DIY videos bc it ends up turning into a haul. She shows the items she's putting in the room to decorate the space and there's so much great stuff!

[@nancyturgeon51]

WOW!! tout ce que tu fais est absolument magnifique !! Je viens de te decouvrir il y a 2 jours et j'ai déjà regardée tout tes vidéos ! Super ! Continue!! Love from Joliette, Québec Canada !!!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying them.

[@ghoulgoil5029]

You have an awesome collection of great miniatures. I love the corgi!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you :) I always loved Barbies growing up and all the tiny things. Then I made that Corgi as a teen for a friend's grandmother's dollhouse. Then I kept it when it came out smushed and instead made her window boxes out of popsicle sticks and filled them with clay flowers. I made some mini paintings and a magazine rack over the years for another friend's dollhouse. I didn't get into making minis myself until December 2020! Better late than never. It's the best hobby ever.

[@ghoulgoil5029]

@@queencityminis I loved Barbies too! I’ve never made any miniatures but want to.

[@tinynina76]

Oh, and the fire place. Oh! And the garden tub bathroom set. (See, I told you I am not exactly sure Which I like the best!😁

[@queencityminis]

I hear you! I have so many awesome minis I want to show you guys. I am just choosing one box at a time to go through. There are SO many left! I won't show all my minis but I want to show most of the one of a kind items.

[@tinynina76]

@@queencityminis Sounds like you have fun collecting!

[@nancyskinner5207]

I have many many miniatures that I have made and collected that are in my attic in boxes. My goal was to make them true to life. I don’t really know what to do with them.

[@queencityminis]

Maybe you can sell them, gift them to people, and display them.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Since you like the smaller scale, maybe get a half scale house, room box or something. RGT has half scale lighthouse and keepers house. Good place for shadow boxes of shells. If you had a cottage or small home near the coast, you could build a dock and have somewhere to display your shark capture. You are the one who made the shark, right? I don't have workspace to make a big house, but I noticed some of the bigger houses you can get extensions for them that add a couple more rooms. One I looked at was two rooms, one over the other, flat roof that could be a nice garden or deck space. Oh, you need 1:12 to display your minis. There are some cute kits, with loft spaces that are sort of room boxes, fairly compact. Even if you just had a 3 sided room box to display these type of videos contents in that would be cool. Maybe you could design it in a way you could swap out the wallpaper depending on what flavor the items you show are. Western, nautical, 70's, etc

[@recoveringsoul755]

Maybe swap out walls and dividers like this lady and her Transforminium kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGGZaal3h6eoeMU

[@queencityminis]

I will definitely do something in half scale at some point. It's crazy how small half scale looks so I'm thinking I may prefer 1:16. I think I'll do my Harry Potter common room project in 1:16. It's not too small but it's also not too big. Could be a happy medium.

[@TheNetymags]

Love the shadow boxes

[@queencityminis]

They are really cool! I have heard selling seahorses is prohibited. I got these two shadow boxes in the big lot of minis I got from Massachusetts.

[@kat3910]

Hey! Love love love the desk and chair. I do that kind of work in human scale, and the design is actually stenciled on the back of the chair and the front of the desk, not painted. It would be fascinating to see if the artist who made the mini did it as a stencil or as hand painted. I also love the unicorn paintings, and immediately thought of Hagrid and HP - you should incorporate that somehow! Also, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GET A DOLLHOUSE!! Of course I have 8 of them, so that is obviously my focus. All 8 are 1:12 scale, so I really have to cut myself off and start doing room boxes instead, or change to a smaller scale. Love the haul!

[@queencityminis]

That's amazing that you make that type of work in full scale. That's really cool. It looks hand painted on my pieces. I just wonder why the chair got so many details and the desk didn't. You'd expect the legs of the desk would have paint on the turnings like the chair does. I love Harry Potter! That's a great idea to use the unicorn paintings in a HP scene. I love it. I have plans of making the Gryffindor Common Room. I've been so busy but I should be able to start in October. 8 1:12 dollhouses! That's wild! You should try 1:24 scale next! 😆 The only dollhouse I've completed is my 1:48 Witch's Cottage (the video is on my channel). That's a fun scale. I'm also done with a 1:144 scale dollhouse (also on my channel). Such a pain but really gratifying.

[@kat3910]

@@queencityminis I really enjoyed your Witch's Cottage which has made me think more about 1:48 scale... but first, I have to finish all of my 1:12 scale projects!!

[@queencityminis]

They're never truly finished, are they? Thank you! I think 1:48 is an easier scale than 1:12 since you don't need as much detail. 1:144 scale is harder! Too tiny

[@agds91078]

Oh I love all the goodies in this haul but my favs were the shell shadow boxes. I live 16hrs away from the ocean deep deep deeeep in the southeast Kentucky mountains and I dream of the beach daily. Your so lucky to live so close to the beach. Do you know if they made the seahorse and shells inside the shadow box or are they real? I dream to find something like those for my vintage dollhouse I’ll be renovating soon and sharing its journey on my channel. I drove 4hrs away and 4hrs back through 4 states to get this vintage dollhouse and sooo many extra goodies and can’t wait to share its before and after process.

[@queencityminis]

That's a very long way away from the beach. Yes, all the shells and the seahorse are real. It's actually illegal now to sell seahorses. They're protected. Enjoy your dollhouse! That's a long way to travel to get it.

[@agds91078]

@@queencityminis I had to go back and edit my comment lol I type too fast on this little iPhone keyboard. But I had meant I live 16hrs away from the beach. But I went through Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia which was a 4hr drive there and a 4hr drive back to get it from a cousins in laws house because they needed it out of the way and was going to burn it in a burn pile thinking it wasn’t worth saving! Oh my goodness wait until you see it and you will be like I’m so glad you went to get it! Lol

[@agneschrismer9946]

My very favorite is the shadow box, unicorn painting and the corgi. He's so darn cute. Did you really pay $49 for the chair? It's on the bottom. It's beautiful but that's a steep pricetag. That was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you :) I'm so glad I still have the little Corgi. No, I didn't pay that for the chair. I got it in a larger lot of miniatures.

[@tracybowling1156]

I just had to leave another comment. I would love it if you built your own dollhouse and filled it with all of your treasures and more. I know that's a tall order. But if anyone could do it, you can. Maybe one day you will. I'll keep watching just in case!

[@queencityminis]

Maybe someday! I plan to keep going for years to come on KZbin.

[@maryreinhardt4306]

I just found your channel, perfect timing I'm hoping to do a doll house for my granddaughter. Any tips for finding a doll house Where do you find these items

[@queencityminis]

Yay! Welcome to the world of miniatures. It's so much fun. I got a bunch of my miniatures from a local yard sale app. I also live near a dollhouse store. You can get used miniatures from eBay in lots, which is a great deal. You can also make a lot of stuff yourself. A couple great KZbinrs to follow are Little Gretchen's Workshop and Bentley House Minis.

[@schmittykitty]

Is it fair to assume that any miniatures that are made of pewter are antiques? I acquired some signed plates and trays in a lot sized mystery box about 10 years ago. At the time I had never seen minis made with metal. Everything seems to be made of plastic these days.

[@queencityminis]

I'm not sure. Maybe Whitney LaBrie would know. She knows a lot about minis. I've only been making minis for a couple years.

[@CajunCraft24]

The plastic on the syringes reminds me of earring post protectors- not sure if they still make them but they were basically tiny straws that slide over earring posts for people with metal sensitivities

[@queencityminis]

That's cool! I've never heard of that but it makes sense.

[@tigger8935]

When you go to a thrift store, check their miscellaneous baskets. I find lots of goodies there.

[@queencityminis]

That's a great tip. Thank you

[@lolasworldofminis]

Do you remember how much you paid for the 13 boxes? I’m trying to keep track of what I pay because I heard about a dollhouse that was made by a woman & there was an entire journal with every detail and dates across 3 generations. The woman who got it told me she found the original owner’s home and the dollhouse was a replica of the house. So so cool.

[@queencityminis]

That's so cool! I think I paid $210 for all 13 boxes

[@lolasworldofminis]

😮 holy cow! That is a find. Mine now seems terribly expensive lol

[@rickybaumgartner5635]

Make a room box with those items, please

[@queencityminis]

That would be so pretty!

[@carmelamarchese507]

Where do you come across the miniatures

[@queencityminis]

I got 13 boxes of minis all at once. A collector had passed away and her collection was sold in an estate sale. Then they stumbled across a closet with 13 boxes of minis they had missed. They sold it to me for only $200 and that's how I started my collection in December 2020. I have purchased a lot of items from earthntree.com, eBay and Etsy.

[@squidblackman9672]

Ugh if only I weren’t poor

[@lolasworldofminis]

Wait, you don’t have your own dollhouse??

[@queencityminis]

Now I do, but it's not in good shape. It'll be on my channel eventually.
