The hunt for nice, not ultra-cheesy looking 1:6 scale furniture that doesn't cost an arm and a leg can be really tough. So I was delighted to find this little chair and ottoman set by Trixieville on Amazon.com. It actually came with 2 chairs even though I only used one in this particular diorama.
I really don't know anything about the Trixieville dolls except that they were/are 8" plush fairy dolls made by Manhattan Toy. And they don't seem to be easy to find... I just happened upon a few items on a whim while searching on Amazon. I bought this set, another little furniture piece I haven't received yet, and 2 outfits that fit MH standard and MH Howleen perfectly! They were all drastically reduced in price so that made it even sweeter!
As I build my diorama collection, I am learning to really think outside of the box regarding furniture and items to populate my little worlds. Just because something wasn't made for 1:6 dolls doesn't mean it won't work for them. And the simplest item (such as an overturned candle holder) can suddenly be the perfect bedside or kitchen table. :o)
Here's the Trixieville set from the previous photographs:
