What is "Mini Acres"? You've never heard of it?
You're in for a pleasant surprise!
Mini Acres is what many people think they will be seeing at a dollhouse miniature show. Dollhouses for sale. Typically, because of their size, there are not many actual dollhouses at a show -- only the accessories -- the cute, realistic, artistic, items hand-made by artisans or commercially produced.
LAST YEAR, for the first time ever, anyone who wanted to sell a dollhouse could sign a "listing agreement", pay a $20.00 "listing fee" (which is waived if you are a dealer at the show), bring the house to the show Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning and place it in "Mini Acres", a new neighborhood designed for that purpose. Perfect property? Handyman Special? Not yet assembled? It didn't matter. Just like real life, buyers and sellers came together. "Mini Acres" was hugely successful! And it is back for Portland's 2018 show. Remember, in order for there to be a "lot" for your house, you must list before the show -- NOT AT THE SHOW.
