Here is a link for Engelbreit style wallpaper, etc. in every color combination imaginable. Some other topics of interest for people interested in ME include these! http://www.maryengelbreit.com/ Laura Busch |
Search for Minis - The website is www.myminiatures.com.You just put in a word and it will search for it in miniature only. Peryll in Norfolk |
Metal Minis - Martha's Miniatures does not have a web site, but you can order a catalog from her through email - Oscaler@aol.com - or send them a fax at 815-728-0595. Carol Pierce in TN |
Zuber wallpaper - Whoever it was that was interested in obtaining Zuber wallpaper here is the email I received from a hotel I had emailed: My advice would be to contact Architectural Digest. In their October or November 1998 issue, they ran a piece called "Manhattan Nocturne" which featured the same Zuber wallpaper that we have, designed in 1848. Also in their "To The Trade" section, they had the name and contact for Zuber wallpaper in Paris, France. (Unfortunately, someone took my issue, or I would have that info for you!)

Needle Punches - Here is a site that sells Igolochkoy punch needles: http://www.gailbird.com/needles.html. This lady does a fair number of shows I think and so e-mail responses are not always immediate, but she does get back in touch with you. And I ordered from her and had no problems with the order.

¼ Scale animals: Try model railroad stores, and ask for "O" gauge, pronounced oh. That is the same as our quarter inch scale. Most MR stores don't have much in the way of O stuff, but ask to see the large scale Walthers catalog, animal section. They will probably have HO scale animals in stock, pronounced H-oh, but will be too small, but you might find a large dog that could be used as a small dog in 1/4 scale. I know Arrtista has lots of quarter inch scale things, including some dogs, cats, peddle car, stroller, etc, but I no longer have their address. I don't know if they sell to shops, hopefully a model railroader on this list can furnish the address--they occasionally advertise in Model Railroader and Railroad Model Craftsman. Model Railroader is a Kalmbach publication, sister of Dollhouse Miniatures--perhaps they could help. Dean Jenson |
There are several websites for locating out-of-print and rare books-- Posters: There's a neat website put up by Duke Univ. with advertising posters from earlier in the 20th century (almost said "this century" oops!) with lots of ads for health and beauty, radio/TV, and WWII. The TV and radio ads are particularly good references for decorating styles of the 30's and later, since they often depict families intently listening/watching in their living rooms.

She will even help you by phone. Bonnie |

Saloon/Gambling Hall: I'm just finishing up a saloon/bordello and have found that gaming supplies, etc. are sort difficult to find in miniature. I found some darling diecast slot machines which are actually pencil sharpeners, as well as an old time safe in the current Dee's Delights catalog which my mini shop ordered for me. As far as other gaming supplies, I know Stockton's carries some poker tables and things appropriate for a gaming parlor. http://www.stockton-miniatures.com/ Here is one other source in California that I found when I lived in the L.A. area.: their business card proclaims the wife to be the "brothel specialist" with corsets, hats, shoes & negligees, while the husband's specialty is "saloon originals" with bars, slots, gaming tables, and the wheel of fortune." Ernie & Nancie Loscar (619) 375-8159 I don't know if the Loscars have an email address and you might want to check the area code to this phone # since the catalog I have of theirs is about 4 years old. Kathy in TX |
Gaming supplies, tables, maybe even slot machines in 1" scale - I purchased my crap table & blackjack table from Nancie's Millinery. They don't have a website. You can call or write them for a brochure: Nancie's Millinery (760) 375-8159 They are very nice people. They were at the Tom Bishop Show in Burlingame, CA last summer and I placed my order. I was all set to pay right then and there and Nancie said "No, wait until I send you the items!" Talk about trusting!! I should warn you that their items are not inexpensive. I paid $200+ for the two items I purchased. I loved the bar they had but decided to make my own - the bar was $300.00!! Marsha |
