Saturday my sister helped me go to the Eastside Dollhouse Miniatures show in Bothell, WA. I've been to this show over the past few years. This was the best of them. There were all kind of new dealers. And, for me, a lot of kits to build little items. I feel I may have more success in putting together smaller kits. I got one that was put together for a workshop class they were having later in the day. It is a breadbox, knifes and vegetable bin. The breadbox and bin have graphics of a rooster. It is by a dealer called Diminutives by Jacobson of Spokane, WA. They had other very nice kits, I'd have liked to buy one of each! Also, he does turnings. Here's their page:

I also purchased a Jewelry Box kit from "What I Do" of Vancouver, WA. She had tons of laser cut pieces and kits in 3 scales (no web page).
Another new dealer was Jennie Lindquist. She has a book that I wish I had purchased, and may still: http://www.andmoreminis.com/index.html . What beautiful work she does. I've been thinking that it's something I may be able to negotiate with limited us of my left hand, so I may buy online. She also had some WONDERFUL wired candlesticks and candelabra. Oh, why didn't I buy??? Oh, I remember, I'm trying to cut down and not add to my growing shelves of miniatures. Check some of them out on her Mostly Paper web site *link above*.
There were some other dealers that have web links, if you are interested:
