Happy Holidays!



It's winter holiday time and we wish you all the best for a joyous holiday season! Whatever you celebrate, wherever you are, we hope that your wishes are fulfilled and that 2024 is a year of great happiness.

It's cold sometimes. We're in San Diego where the weather can vary from chilly to short sleeve warm and seems especially noticeable during the December holiday season. This is when it's time to think about those we love and all that's good in the world, plan a party and decorate the house. We can help you with that house right now with some nice choices we have in the store. 

First, meet the Hippie Santa Claus. He's been helping us here for years and will point you in the right direction.



Hippie Santa Claus


Candy canes, gaily colored lights, a pretty table, gingerbread houses and holiday candies all help to set the stage. Let's take a closer look.


Food, one of the greatest ways of preparing the house for a Merry Christmas or a Happy Chanukah or for whatever event we have. Our miniature food designers create more varieties and appealing foods than you will ever be able to obtain in the market across the street. Virtually any type of food is available from a cup of tea to a magnificently decorated turkey, and everything in between. 


One of our favorite food designers has recently come back after a three-year absence. The food is nothing less than sensational. Notice the detail in the cantaloupe and peas below. Where could you find a juicier melon or so many perfectly shelled peas in a bowl?



                                            Punch to quench your thirst.






                                                 Lots of decorations.


                                                 A poinsettia for its charm.



                                            A stereo, to keep the mood up.

                                        A bear, dressed as Santa, just because.
 
Ms. Peggie's Place is well-stocked with all your needs for keeping miniatures beautiful, building from scratch, turning old into new, new into better and satisfying all the requirements you have for your project. In addition to seasonal supplies we carry dollhouse figures of all types, landscaping necessities, unlimited furnishings, our wonderful foods and well...most anything you could positively want or need.
    

                          Some accessories for making your house extraordinary!                                                          Welcome to the Mini Home Depot!




                                           And the tools for getting it done!

We hope you will be coming by soon. Miniatures are our joy and passion and we want to share those delights with you.  Yelp even gave us a People Love Us On Yelp certificate!

And, just in case you are not decorating for the December holidays but have another special event, we have a beautiful three-tiered wedding cake.

What's this?

Hello January 2023!

It's funny how these things happen. One minute we are preparing to end the old year on a good note and the next thing you know, the New Year is upon us! This might be a fine time to add a bit of this and that to your miniature project or perhaps to start another. Either way, we would be happy to help you out and here are some basics to get you started.

 
Wallpaper is great for freshening up or repurposing a room.





Table and house decor -- vases, statues.








Bird houses add a cute flair to any yard.


Flowers add happiness everywhere. 


We wish to you a most Happy New Year and hope that you will visit us soon!

Cordially,

Missing you!

Dear Friends,

The past few weeks have been worrisome for all of us. The advent of Covid-19 reaching our shores and affecting so many of our people reminds us of how connected we really all are. To beat this affliction all the world's peoples must be involved. Please, please listen to relevant information and do as asked. If this means isolation, do it. This will contribute to a healthier and happier world in the future.

If you are working on the front lines, thank you. Your dedication to getting and keeping us healthy and returning us to normalcy is deeply appreciated.

Ms. Peggie's Place will reopen when we are permitted. Right now we are closed by law but are working behind the scenes to be ready when the time comes to unlock our doors. Please check back here for pertinent information on the reopening. Meanwhile, we will be bringing the store to you on this page via articles on miniature crafting, tips and hints.

Most importantly, stay well. We miss you and look forward to seeing you as soon as we are able.

Cordially,

Michael Sue Nanos

Shed and Slobber! Happy Holidays to You!

We look forward to seeing you and showing off the delights of December! We have a miniature lot of Christmas trees, teddy bears and toys for tots.The shop has a selection of endearing dogs, cats and birds to add joy and wonderment to your holiday. As realistic or as fairy-tale as you desire, you'll find what you are looking for here.

"Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without the dog giving back," say many people during the holiday season. Now, as much as living animals are wonderful and kind, the miniature 12:1 variety will make life easier, especially during the holidays. No shedding and no slobbering!


Friendly and adorable. Take your pick!

Not for sale!
A succulent treat

Do you like bears? So do we! How about Tinkertoys, dolls, doll clothes and doll houses? We think they are pretty cool, too, and have enough to make your holiday grand.

There's a golf playing bear as well, but he wouldn't pose for the camera.


Toys for everyone








So tiny and...
...so perfect


The Tinkertoy!



Out of many, here are two.

If you believe in Santa Claus you'll find him in full gear on our Christmas shelf and with the porcelain dolls. Mrs. Claus is here, too, enjoying a cup of hot cocoa.





While you are there take a look at the nearby food showcase and decide what you would like for Christmas dinner.


Anything, everything and more.

 The store is gussied up for your shopping and looking pleasure.











So hop to it!


We hope to see you soon!
