Displaying really small items for sale: As a shopper, I would love to see your "VERY small (think in-scale peppermints)" displayed both in the "small (1.5"x1.5") clear plastic bag" with the price AND in a miniature scene or two where you show them being "used". Not only does this let someone get a better look at them out of the bag, but gives them ideas for displaying them. It probably even will show us that we better buy several of your bags so our display will look as nice as yours! LOL  And the bagged ones with the price make shopping easy.

Wallpaper from USA: http://www.itsybitsymini.com/ I have bought from this lady and she will post to the UK. She stocks papers I haven't seen over here. She makes bedding sets, bedspreads etc to match the paper or you can buy the matching fabric.

I have wasted a lot of time recently visiting websites or eBay pages mentioned on this list only to find that they will only ship to the USA. Perhaps people could mention this when they post details of their items for sale?

Pricing Tiny Pieces: What the Parkers' Metal Miniatures folks do might work as well for you.  For the miniscule cast metal 1:144 furniture they use a display board with a sample of each item glued to it, labeled with description, price, and number. "Behind the scenes" at the back of their table,  the items are stocked in matching numbered drawers in those stacked plastic parts/tool drawer sets that look sort of like jewelry boxes.  You could make up a similar board and write the piece number for each bonbon or pastry in indelible marker on the plastic storage bags.  Might even use the same drawer units.  They'd hold several bags full of various numbered items per drawer and you could list the piece numbers on the drawer fronts. Seems like a simple, logical system (but someone else may have a better one).

Zero Clearance Turntable: I have the zero Clearance Turntable and it works as advertised. I sent away for additional ball bearings because my house was very heavy. I also added legs ( standard ones from Home Depot) to give it more stability. I bought it from:

Cake plate and cover: I made a cute cake plate and cover using the plastic top from a bottle of water (or you could use the plastic top off the top of Hershey Choc. ) For the base I used the little blue disc from the inside of a coke cap.  For the Choc top you might need to use a different base. Place a bead on the top of the water cap and you have your cake cover and plate.  I decided to use findings to make mine have a base but either way they are cute.

UK kilns: I use the Hobbycraft 40 which I think thousands of dollmakers have used for years....no complaints at all, and it runs from a 13 amp plug with no special wiring. (mine is in my playroom and is wonderful in the bleak mid-winter ) got it from Cromartie Kilns: http://www.cromartie.co.uk Another address is http://www.briarwheels.co.uk. Don't know much about them, but have heard good things from the people who have used them.

Acme Water Cooler: Many of the Acme International 3D and also their Sound Magnets are available on online at http://www.fridgedoor.com. They have a modern water cooler 3D magnet for only $2.99 that I already use in one of my one-inch scale dollhouse settings. I have used their File Cabinet 3D Sound Magnet and the Copy Machine 3D Sound Magnet in an office scene. (Some of their magnets are good for one-inch; some for half-inch; and others would be good for two-inch (Barbie-size) scale settings.) These magnets by Acme International/Arjon Manufacturing are the ones sometimes available in Walmart/K-Mart/Lechter's/some grocery stores.
