From Portland, we took Highway 26 to Cannon Beach, where I spent time at both locations of The Butler Did It Antiques. Both locations have baskets filled with miniature accessories, most of which are vintage or antique. In addition, sometimes there are Renwal and/or other dollhouse miniatures in glassed-in cases. Both stores also carry vintage and antique fabrics, laces, and seam binding, perfect for dollhouse miniature projects.
That day, I purchased some pretty antique pink seam binding that I used to make tiny dollhouse hand towels.

After scouring the area for more dollhouse miniatures (no luck!), we took Highway 101 south to Lincoln City, the home of Dot's Doll House, located in the Rocking Horse Mall.

Every time I visit Dot's Doll House, I find a new treasure. This time it was dollhouse magazines, miniature laces and trims, and two things I'd been searching for extensively. First, after much searching online, Dot's had a mini can of Old Dutch cleaner for Cupcake Cottage:
And finally, I found these authentic-style mini pictures for my Victorian stereoscopic viewer at Dot's:
The Butler Did It Antiques, 240 N Hemlock (503) 436-1791 and 124 N Hemlock (503) 436-2598, both in Cannon Beach, Oregon, 97110.
Dot's Doll House, Rocking Horse Mall, 1542 NE Highway 101, Lincoln City, Oregon, 97367 (541) 994-4647.

Looks like you had a wonderful time. I too love the soap and old can. The table lamp looks awsome. Did you buy it?
ReplyDeleteHugs, Drora
You're so lucky to have access to so many dollhouse stores. It's so much better when we can actually pick things up to look at them. I just love those little dish towels you've made. You're very talented. You seem to be able to make anything you put your mind to. Give little Plushpussycat a hug for me.
ReplyDeleteEs que son verdaderos tesoros.
ReplyDeleteGracias por este recorrido Jennifer.
Mil besos...Julia.
Fantastic trip! I don't think anyone would want to go see minis with me on vacation. You're a lucky girl to have such a fantastic husband!
ReplyDeleteLove the minis you picked up!
hugs,
Caroline
Oh, this looks so much fun! Exactly the kind of trip I'd love. And such great purchases, too. :)) Sanne
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of shopping trip that would suit me - I could spend hours in these shops! Great purchases, but what really made me smile was the name of the first shop... so funny! There's a well-known German song from songwriter Reinhard Mey "The murderer is always the gardener", quite funny, and guess who is the real murderer in the end? The gardener becomes the last victim and the butler did it... ;O)

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip, Jenn! A walk in paradise!

What a great looking place, I wish we had a miniature shop in our Lincoln but sadly it closed. Ours most certainly doesn't have a beach either...not jealous at all!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation for your lovely findings. You get wonderful treasures.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Craftland
Fantastico viaje!!!
ReplyDeleteGracias por estas fotos, son preciosas, con bellos tesoros!!!!
Besitooos y feliz semana.
Jennifer, you are so lucky to get to hunt for minis! And you got some great finds. :) I think later in life, I will make the family move farther north so I can be closer to mini treasures. :) I grew up in the NW.. Oregon is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLucky you Jennifer to have shops like that around you.:) Great photos! Thank you for sharing them!:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky Jennyfer :o) You have found great pieces. In Italy we have not miniature shops so beautiful. Compliments for your purchases. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHi Drora! The table lamp is a Reutter Porzellan item that I bought online. I bought it at www.miniatures.com, but I don't think they carry it anymore. Hope that helps! xo Jennifer
