Hello, my name is Ana I'm a wife and mother. I'm always looking for ways to better myself and my family. I love crafts especially Dollhouse Miniatures in 1:12 scale, fashion (Plus size), cooking, reading, jewelry making, and boating. You can easily find me on the hunt for treasures at thrift stores and deals at the Dollar Tree. We are a 1 income home our budget is tight.
Hello Friends its great to see you again. I am delighted to share with you some of the wonderful Dollhouse Miniatures pieces I was able to find economically on Shein. If you like to see the complete video please click (see video above) or cut and paste the link below into your browser.

These 2 different clocks are wonderful and will adorn any room beautifully. The main portion of the decorative portion of the clocks are made of metal and painted to look like wood. The faces are paper but could easily be changed with metal face from your own stash. The metal pendulums move back and forth. The backing is made of wood that peeks out behind the pendulums. These are 1:12 scale Dollhouse Miniatures.
This set of storage containers caught my eye. I wasn't too sure about the dimensions and they do run smaller that 1:12 scale but I can make them work. The lids and totes are plastic. The lids snap on and 3 of the pieces have handle openings. I know this will look amazing in a attic or basement style scene with holiday home decor and other holiday theme items spilling out of them.
This is a 1:12 scale set of 4 cranberry highly detailed faux glass cups in plastic. When you first look at them you think Chrysnbon but these are more unique. They did come in different colors on the site. These will be another lovely addition to my collection.
I was blown away with this set of 1:12 scale faux wicker baskets made of plastic. The sizes vary mostly 1:12 scale with one being a bit larger piece. They are all very unique and distinct from one another.
I appreciated that they came in such a variety to fit many different scenes in my Dollhouse's.
Lastly, these charms that I found are perfect 1:12 scale. They are a darling addition for the kitchen stove, table, or prepping area. The piece itself is made of plastic and the details of the food are done so well. I was really impressed. The charm part that is metal is easily wiggled out with the help of a jewelry tool I had on hand. Well I hope you check out the video to all these in detail.
This is my Birthday Month (May) and I treated myself to a huge order from Shein. I filmed several videos as I blindly chose items from the bag to share with my subscribers. They ranged from Dollhouse Miniatures, Jewelry, Ribbon/Trim, Paper Crafts Jewelry Supplies and more.
Here you will see a box of 30 beautiful highly detailed gold picture frames. My mind was blown when I saw the quality of the pieces. They will make any Dollhouse or Room Scene shine. Take a peek at the (video above) to see the different shapes and sizes that they are available in. I am so glad that I found them on their site. These beautiful frames are made of plastic so they can be held with Museum Wax easily with no worries of ripping or damaging wallpaper treatments or paint on older more delicate Dollhouse's. I encourage you to check out my other videos while you are there. This post will be short but sweet. I promise to be back more regularly.
Welcome friends great to see you! Today I am sharing a short video (above). This is a quick share of a bedroom makeover and detective office room scene.
Here you will see a view looking in. I choose softer muted colors in this bedroom scene. I enjoyed choosing pieces from my collection to bring this together.
This wooden house that sits at the end of the bed I found at the thrift store. It was a great find from the bag section. This hand painted piece gives country rustic styling. With the simple brown roof robins egg blue shell color and details of faux windows and double doors. It was perfect. Even the little heart detail above the door is so charming.
Here you will see a closer look of the bed. This was a ebay find made by hand. Its pink wooden head board and beautifully detailed comforter bring it all together. The doll and bunny were thrift store finds hand made with fabric and wooden beads for the doll.
The potted plant is a cap from a discarded beauty product and plant from one of my bouquets at home. I put a dress on a hanger on the outside of the double door armoire that opens. The chair and book provided a reading area. The carpet was hand made and sent to me as a gift.
The light pink and purple dresser with floral details was a thrift store. The picture on the wall in from my crafting supplies. All the table top items I had found on Shein and Temu.
This detective room scene is from a Re-Ment Detective Room box kit I found on Amazon. I was delighted with all the detailed pieces. I scales do vary from piece by piece but they all worked out beautifully.
Here is a closer look to one of the little table settings that I created with the kit. It's very realistic and bring life to the room scene. The book that is open with the gun inside is priceless.
Lastly, a closer look at the desk. Everything you see is from the kit. This includes the desk, chair, and everything on it and around it.
I do have another video that provides the opening of the Re-ment Detective Room Kit below:
It has become more challenging to find Dollhouse Miniatures locally.
Hobby Lobby used to have a abundant display that now has dwindled to almost nothing. So, I spread my wings to see who could feed my Dollhouse Miniature needs in my area. I searched and found no near by Dollhouse Miniatures stores. I sat in my comfy chair and searched on Michaels websites Bingo!! They carry the brand Make Market noting their items change up seasonally. Their sizes vary in scale as well.
I found these ornate gold framed mirrors that worked perfectly in my 1:12 scale Dollhouse House's. They are made of high quality and had weight to them.
They had this charming making cookies display that can simply be placed on a kitchen counter no muss or fuss. It was a great 1:12 scale item.
On the video you will have a closer look at the Bar cart. It has the trolly with handle bar, ice bucket w/ice, 2 ornate bottles that look filled, and 2 faux glass cups that work in 1:12 scale. I like that it has space underneath for more items in my collection. I will note the wheels do not move. I like that for myself.
This 3 piece wooden framed lemon trio was so interesting to me I couldn't leave it behind. The vibrant colors drew me in and 1:12 scale fit was perfect. A perfect addition for a summer project.
They currently have (12" x 12" Miniature Prints Paper Pad by Recollections™, 58 Sheets item # 10750706) that I have in my cart. If I get it you will see it in a future post. The miniature prints are very interesting. Although, I haven't seen it in person they look like a great fit for 1:12. Enjoy the video above.
Although, the Dollar Tree Store doesn't have anything for a $1.00 anymore you can still find great deals for your home. When a family lives paycheck to paycheck the Dollar Tree Store can be helpful. Check out the video (above). You will see all the name brand deals that can be found. Like Protype hair care, Revive rx, Glow Queen, Dermasil, Global Beauty, K Beauty, Essie nail polish and more. You would be surprised to see how many store close out deals are from Walmart, Target and other big box stores land at the Dollar Tree Store.
I enjoy K Beauty (Korean Beauty) it can be rather expensive. They have K Beauty face masks at the Dollar Tree for only $1.25 each. Original Derma Beauty Fresh Cherry Facial Mask for Brightening.
This K Beauty Fresh Blueberry facial mask by Original Derma Beauty Hydrating helps to revitalize and energize for a fresh glow only $1.25 each
ODB Derma Beauty facial mask with Hibiscus & Vitamin E providing radiance hydrating properties another K Beauty gem $1.25 each.
Sockopath name brand underwear for men $1.50 each. Check out the video to see the other variations available. Great to buy now and tuck them away for the Holidays.
You can find name brand food deals like this Edens Farm Sliced Peaches in Juice in a huge 28oz can for $1.50. Perfect for peach cobbler.
They have name brand foods like Pace, Hamburger Helper, Hungry Jack, Margaret Holmes, Eat Regal, Campbells, Idaho Potatoes, and many more in the isles. Visit the freezer section for even more name brands. I hope you enjoy the video and know I do these videos from Dollar Tree Store on a weekly basis so make sure to subscribe to my Youtube Channel.
It's January 18, 2026 and I started to go through some of my treasures that had been placed in the basement. This particular video I'm sharing my Ebay Dollhouse Miniature purchases I made many moons ago. I'm embarrased to say that I have a large portion of my collection in boxes and bags.
They sat quietly for me till I was ready to embrace my hobby again. As most miniaturist we have seasons in our lives were our hobby gets placed in the back burner. Some of the seasons in my life lasted a year to a few years in between. Regardless, Dollhouse Miniature's has always been a constant for me. This hobby started 39 years ago for me.
This particular piece is beautiful. The details from the perfect pink solid arms to the charming print that coordinates. The pleated bottom that wraps around the entire piece to the bunka used to accentuate the curves and line.
If you didn't know green is my favorite color. This gem sparkled from the packaging. It gave me cozy cottage feels with country vibes. So, this piece will be able to transform for many uses and holiday room updates. I can see this in a log cabin, rustic country room scene to a cottage deep in the forest or by the sea. I appreciate you coming by. Check out for 3 part series for the Dollhouse Miniatures I pulled from a huge moving storage bag. Enjoy
First I like to share my newest Amazon Dollhouse Miniatures Finds in the video above you will see some of my Dollhouse Collection.

https://amzn.to/4rWJWjV in the video these 1:12 scale chairs are beautiful with the same coordinating fabric as the sofa above. These are higher quality.
Sticker Treasury Woodland Adventures Book $20.99
https://amzn.to/4aagdNQ I fell in love with this sticker book. I was able to cut out many stickers that I will use for my dollhouse's. These stickers are highly detailed and look more like true art.
Here is another treasure you will see in the video. This one is from 1925 Tine Litho Horse Drawn Wagon Angelus Marshmallows Cracker Jack Prize.
In the video above you will see money saving options on a tight budget. I share just a handful in this video. I will be focusing more on my pantry and items that can be found at the Dollar Tree. I hope you subscribe and not miss my future uploads.
A good example is this Margaret Holmes Seasoned Butter Beans. These are already seasoned and ready to eat in a emergency. I have served this for my family many times and it's a crowd pleaser.
Mothers Maid Apple filling is another gem to be found at the Dollar Tree. This can be used in many recipes and provide comfort (comfort food) during stressful times.
Planters Salted Caramel Peanuts are a great staple for snaking and meals found at the Dollar Tree. This is shelf stable and ready in any emergency with no heating or cooking required. Great for on the go for hiking, go bags, car kits, and more.
This Dollar Tree Planters Sea Salt and Vinegar was a surprising new taste for my family that was enjoyed. So, this is a new addition of go to flavors for us on a budget.
As you see a sneak peak into some tasty options for your pantry on a budget. Check out the video for additional finds I got for my pantry.
I previously created a Tudor style bed from recyclables for my dollhouse and wanted to create a matching seat. I have videos posted for the Tudor Bed on my You Tube Channel just click the video (below) and head into You Tube and subscribe.
Here is the box I received from friend mail that I used to create my Tudor style bench seat. I saw the package had a unique rounded portion and I knew it would be used for a project.
I'm simply shaping the cardboard into the shape of the seat I desire. In the video you will see what I used to help keep the chair bends in place.
These are the pieces I found from the Dollar Tree crafting department that I am using for the decorative elements on the chair These come in many different shapes.
I'm simply choosing the shapes I want to use. I turn them around and place the glitter portion against the cardboard. I don't want any glitter spreading on my piece.
I hot glued the pieces down and started mixing the paint on a paper plate. I chose black and brown paint to do the base of the seat. I will use several coats.
The chair has several coats of paint now. I will let this sit and dry and repeat the process. In the video you will see I added side pieces to the chair to give it a more complete look. Although, I am not done I'm very pleased so far. I will come back with Part 2. Please subscribe to my channel to see the last step of this project.
I know many of us are guilty of putting things away and not looking at them for long periods of time. Well I was going through some bags filled with craft supplies, dollhouse miniatures, fabrics, and more. One particular fabric called out to me as I was going through my treasures.
You will see a better view of the fabric in the video above. It has a large teddy bear, stars, and animals on it. After looking at it I thought I could make a rug and pillows from it.
These are the pillows I was able to create by cutting out 2 of each animal. I used hot glue to piece them together and stuffed them with some polyester fiber fill from my stash.
Here is the bear that sits by a antique pull toy holding a black and white teddy bear. I know a bear holding a bear how cute.
As you see it's turning out great. I used a needle tool to work out the tightly woven fabric along the entire edge to create a rug fringe. It was a bit of a challenge but it was worth it. Please enjoy the video above.
I enjoy challenging myself to use packaging from items I receive in the mail. I wanted to put a mirror in my gentlemen's room. I went online to check out the prices and was taken aback by what they are asking for. So, I decided to make my own.
Here are the supplies I used:
Paper cutter (optional)
Scissors
Red line tape (basically double sided tape)
Cardboard from any packaging
Mirror (from packing)
Washi Tape (optional: you can use decorative paper/paint)
This paper cardboard package I used was on the thinner side. It held face masks. You can use anything you have in your stash even heavier cardstock paper.
These are some of my washi tape options. Although, you can use decorative paper, paint, trims/ribbon or colored marker/pens to achieve your look.
I did ultimately choose the faux wood grain washi tape for the project. I could have easily chosen one of these other washi tapes options for a more unique look.
Using a cutting board is optional and not necessary. I happen to have one and decided to use it.
On the video above you will see the mirror better and in different angles. I feel it was a great success and another unique one of the kind pieces I created myself.
