National Dollhouse Month- October & Red Ticket sale in store!











Well, we are having to have to make room for all of the boxes of large Bespaq I've brought in from the warehouse....so that means- you guessed it- A SALE! This will be our Red Ticket/Red Tag sale for the month of October. Since I have lowered the prices on many items, I am also, for the month of OCTOBER ONLY- taking layaways!! This special starts September 25th, and will go through until October 31st. You can layaway a variety of items, or one, but the total must be for $100+, and customer will have the month of October, until 10/31, to pay off their layaway. There will be no returns or exchanges for layaway items, and yes, you can layaway items from our rock bottom clearance table also!




I have a number of Bespaq 'vitrines' or curio cabinets, simply lovely, that the prices are lowered on also. Many of the smaller ones run about 15-161/2 inches high, which would make lovely china cabinets for your fashion dolls such as Tyler, Gene, Avant-Gardes, Sybarites, or MSD-sized BJD's. For the miniaturist, all the vitrines are great for displaying tiny collections or tiny 1:144th scale houses- we display a number of tiny houses for sale, along with artisan items, tea sets, etc. in the vitrines here in the store. Bespaq no longer makes these items, so they will certainly hold their value!




Our clearance table is comprised of large scale Bespaq items that have flaws, cracks, or damage that make them imperfect, so these are priced to move- many prices are BELOW wholesale cost. Items are still intact, but with the imperfections cannot survive shipment, so I am offering these to our customers, since many are quite lovely. One of these items is a 26 inch tall walnut armoire, beautifully lined with pink striped wallpaper, opening and shut doors & drawers.




I also have some wonderful miniature 1:12 scale shop items, such as darling little mannequins with Victorian dresses, Martha Porteaus Hats on hat stands w/ purses, and a variety of miniature shop furniture, including Bespaq also, with porcelain dolls.




NEWS ON OUR BESPAQ LARGE SCALE: We are now selling the large scale Bespaq items in SETS....check our Ebay store Pumpkin Hill Studios http://tinyurl.com/yjvz65 in scales of 1:6, 1:4, and 1:3 the size of life!




Thank you for shopping with us!

Our Special tea for the G.R.A.S.P. (Greater Richmond Area Scale Model People) BJD (asian ball jointed dolls) club hosted here at the shop on September 5, 2009 was a hit! We had a wide variety of dolls and their humans who attended and had tea and cookies and refreshments (mostly the humans who transported the dolls) and loads of picture taking and fun! Check out the forum Den of Angels for the balljointed community if you would like to discover more about these intriguing and special dolls! ( I am currently working on bringing one or two home to my own doll family!) I will be uploading some pictures soon of the meetup and the results of our Large Scale Bespaq rocking chair raffle held that day at 2 pm- Our winner for that day was Sarah Brady of Richmond, Virginia!
