Dollhouse Miniatures on the Oregon Coast

My husband and I recently took a trip to the Oregon coast. As usual, my goal was to scout out dollhouse miniatures.

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.

Trip to Dot's Doll House in Lincoln City, Oregon

My husband and I recently took a trip to Linclon City, Oregon. The weather was gorgeous, and we had a great time. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting Dot's Doll House. It is the biggest retail dollhouse miniatures shop (as of this writing) in Oregon. I first heard about it at my mini club meeting in August, and I was itching to get there, so we planned a trip around it. I'm so glad we did, because it was so much fun!

Hubby says I was in there a looooooong time! Probably three to four hours! There was so much to see! Dollhouses, vintage and antique miniatures, new miniature furniture and accessories--I felt like I was in heaven! :-)

While there, I found a couple of special miniatures for my Dad's Dollhouse. One was the Kwan Yin Bodhisattva of Compassion statue shown here on the mantle of Dad's Dollhouse:

What's amazing about this mini statue is that it is really similar to one we have at home that we bought on our way to our wedding! I love having things in my dollhouse that are special like that. See the real-scale statue here with the miniature one next to it:

Another wonderful find was this sweet miniature tea set with pink roses:

Dot's Dollhouse is located inside an incredible antiques mall called the Rocking Horse Mall. It's at 1542 NE Hwy 101, Lincoln City, Oregon 97367. The telephone number is (541) 994-4647. It is well worth a visit if you are touring the Oregon coast.

I'll leave you with a sunset photo taken from our Lincoln City hotel room:

Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer
