Dollhouse Miniature Accessories

Never underestimate the value of going to estate sales.

They are usually offered after a person dies.  

A friend and I went to a "doozy" of an estate sale most recently and came away with truly a wonderful stash.

Regular followers of this blog already know how much I love dollhouse miniatures.  

Well, there at the sale, there were zip lock bags of dollhouse accessories. (A dollhouse had already been sold.)

Most of the baggies were marked $30 and $25.  However, we were there almost at the tail end of the sale.

My friend offered to pay a total of $20 for two bags and it was accepted. 

Then, she gave them to me for babysitting services! Yippah!

What amazing treasures were there including an electrified fireplace that looks like the logs are really on fire. (However, it is not lit in this photo.)

There were also fireplace implements, a brass fireplace screen, a brass log carrier, and yes, logs!

There's a grandfather clock with brass pendulum, too, and numerous toys for a children's room.

Oh my, a rug for that room still had a price tag on the back. 

Here it is:

Hope you enjoy this peek preview of just some of the new found items in those little baggies.

  
There's even a tiny furnished dollhouse to put inside the dollhouse!

I couldn't wait to share these treasures with you!
