Craigslist, or ebay or around here (down South) i've seen a number of them at "antique" stores (which seems to be a euphemism for "where we put our junk for the tourists looking for a bargain in old furniture"). Some of the antiques are truly antiques,...

And even if you get one already made, you can still paint and paper and redo the roof with different shingles, change the shutters and all sorts of things to it yourself -Amanda from Seattle

Anywho, I came up with the idea to create a Haunted Dollhouse from The Bloggess. (If you read her stuff. I don't agree with her PERSONALLY..but she is great fun and entertainment..so I love her.) Does that mean your haunted house will not involve unusu...

Some 25-ish years ago, I saw some stuff that came in a bottle about the size of mod-podge. You painted it on, for example, a silk flower, and it coated the flower with an air-dry ceramic, which could then be painted, attached to a bowl, or whatever. An...

There was some stuff called Dip and Drape. It was sold in folded sheets and sort of like plaster cast. You got it wet and shaped it over a form. It was very shapeable and easy to work with. You then painted it after it dried well. Not sure if this help...

Where's the "AHHHHHHH!" button? Who would want those terrifying things in their house? The first time I saw an episode with them in it, it gave me the heebie-jeebies!

Yes! It's the petal porcelain! Thanks. See, my google skills are getting better, but whenever I just can't find or remember something, I know someone at AQ can fill in the blanks for me. Romana

Aaaaannnd, now that I know what it's called, and have discovered that it should be about $5/bottle, but is being sold for $25/bottle because it's discontinued, I have also discovered that it doesn't really do what I thought it did. I thought it was a...

Anyone collecting these? I live on the east coast, anyone west of the Mississippi want to trade some P's for D's?

Same as the State Quarters, of which I still need dome D's, its all about patience and always checking your change. I did score big on my trip to Disneyland a bit more than several years ago.
by Southern OracleProfileContactLogbookNote
Board: Forgotten Hobbies
Yeah, when I was collecting the State ones we took a trip to several national parks out west. That really helped get D's!

I get state quarters constantly! The National Parks quarters are scarce as all get out. What states do you need? I can start looking.

I ended up order my National Park quarters from a company for about $10 because I have only found 1 since they came out.

I only discovered them when I was at Shenandoah NP. So I've only been hunting them for a month now and I never see any in my change from shopping. I think I will have to break down and order them online too. That being said, while shopping at Shen...

I am NOT collecting the national park quarters, but I do get them a lot in change, and I could look and see what I've got. What are you looking for? I'm still looking for a few of the territory "state quarters" though...I need P - District of Columbi...

Oh that would be awesome! I hardly get them in change ever. State quarters I get daily, and I just got a whole slew of Guam quarters earlier this year, darn it! I'll keep my eyes peeled! I need almost every park in D but just a few P's. Specifically:...
