Fun Miniature Obsession: Mini Brands Home

 


Top: that's a French fry fryer. Cute!

While I'm working on making some mini Christmas gifts for my friend, and painting (oh so much painting!) windows on the Half Scale Lavender Cottage, thought I'd share another fun obsession - - those Mini Brands Home balls. (Here are all the items - view on Amazon. Which is a good price for two of them.)

I've gotten some of the others before like the Mini Brands Toys and the Disney versions, but these really are rather cute. These may be my favorite as they are the perfect size and the details are great! So far only got a couple doubles, the mirror and the teensy clear Tupperware, which I really don't mind! And really, $8 for five items isn't a bad price.

I think I'm going to paint that puff chair, maybe purple for the Lavender Cottage (in the works.) I saw someone online paint the mirror gold, which is a good idea, too. Hoping to get the other shaped chair yet, too.

This vacuum is so cool!!!

I think I've bought four now. I can't resist. Still hoping to get more of the appliances which are so realistic and the boxes are so cool! It's a gamble, I know, and I can see why eventually you may end up just buying the items you want outright. (Saw some for sale at the show and they sell them on Etsy, too.) But the surprise is still fun!

The latest batch: I'd like to get the chair that goes with the footstool. I may repaint or cover the set then. The drill is great!

I've been surprised that the local Walmart seems to have them in stock lately when I've gone there. (Or their new remodel has the whole display buried on one of the other aisles. Still don't know where half the stuff is in the store.) Saw them at Michael's too though they of course wanted more for them. Maybe the craze is winding down so us "latecomers" can now find them. ha!

So fun! Yes, I'm not done buying these... yet! Update: Got another one. Yes, another mirror. ha! (3 now.) Also got the water bottle and the office chair. 

Next: finished the tiny Gingerbread House - turned out really cute! Will share once my friend and I set up the table!

Come back soon for more projects. Thanks for visiting!
