Who knows where to buy tiny props? Dollhouse supplies?

I'm going to make some for the kids in Haiti - I know they'll appreciate them so much more than American kids would!! Plus I'm sure my new grandchild would like some (he/she will be living in Haiti!!)

Anyways love these, http://goingsewcrazy.typepad.com/my_...-tutorial.html

Awwww! What a good daddy! I remember my dad glueing Barbie legs back onto the bodies because I would try to get them to ride my model horses. My sister and mom were going through an old pile of Barbies putting them into piles according to who they had belonged to. The common refrain was, "This one was Kas'. It's missing a leg." :oops: :oops: My dad had a regular doll hospital in his shop!

My mom taught my sis and I to make them using scrap fabrics. We loved them.

Those are really cute. Made me think of the Hollyhock dolls my grandma taught me to make. Simple, but fun to play with.
