They had eight of them. They don't anymore ;) I am so glad to see they occasionally bring things back. I tried painting the table off white for a shabby chic kind of look for one of my houses and the paint turned pink LOL!

Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and The Dollar Store. Perhaps you're not seeing some of the merchandise in your store because you only have a Dollar Tree, and not the other two?Merrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097726915922398896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-76177321483131180582011-02-15T16:22:49.726-07:002011-02-15T16:22:49.726-07:00Yup, our store had multiple pieces of each.

There were the chest and table you showed in your post, some chairs, a small batchelor's chest, a bed (would work for half scale), and the dressing table. <br /><br />I just looked in DT again yesterday and we're down to only a couple of pieces. I guess our store stocked up for the Christmas holiday, in the hopes that some children would get dollhouses.Merrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097726915922398896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-13801156744114462552011-02-14T20:29:02.681-07:002011-02-14T20:29:02.681-07:00I like what you did with the Dollar Store furnitur...I like what you did with the Dollar Store furniture!

But alas ours does not have any of the furniture. I guess they are all different and the selection comes and goes. We had a 70 degree day today on the east coast. It is finally getting warm enough to do some hardwood floor staining.

The finish looks better than other furniture I have purchased. These will likely go in one of my two small unfinished dollhouses after<br />they are painted. Thank you for giving me the incentive to get back to working on these dollhouses. With all the info on your blog I feel confident I can do it.

It was strange. All six pieces were hanging on one hook, each different. <br /><br />Iris, that was the problem with these. Three were too small and the other one, I just didn't like at all. I am going to wait a few days and go back to see if they put out more.<br /><br />Lucille, I think that I have it bad. At least the worst is over where I am....Seldom snow at all. I just hope that the hard frosts stay away from here as long as they did last time...It was over 100 years!Caseyminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622994881661283282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-48196840236247202362011-02-13T15:59:55.299-07:002011-02-13T15:59:55.299-07:00I have that furniture, I bought a whole set about ...I have that furniture, I bought a whole set about two months ago. <br /><br />Yeah, they do look vaugely Shaker. Not bad for a dollar, if used in the right spot. I took their dining room table and cut it down to a coffee table height. It makes a lovely low coffee table!<br /><br />Sorry your nicest plants expired. At least you can usually keep them alive over winter. Bummer that the weather was so intense this year, but next year you are forwarned, so you can get them away from the cold by putting them deeper in the house for a few days, till the nasty weather leaves.Merrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097726915922398896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-70073595784218471322011-02-13T15:46:41.853-07:002011-02-13T15:46:41.853-07:00I like seeing your new furniture.

But, with all those nice ones you just purchased and with Tessie's help, your garden will have a new beginning. Happy gardening.
