I am doing a garden for the fairyland swap, and i haev found a place to get the cute rusted wheel barrel (might be a touch big but believe me its so awesome it won't matter

), and the rusted watering can> BUT i can not find cute rusted toosl that are smaller then 4 1/2 which is just way to be for little gnomes to work with

any ideaS?

i am so exicted to do this for that swap i gotta find them, and i checked ebay and no dice

These? If you google for the 1/12 dollhouse miniatures, then they will probably be small enough....

Totally excited about getting these (hee hee)!

Try Darice & see if you can find a store near by. They have a ton of mini stuff.

Thanks for the link Lori, I did look at it. The items are pretty expensive and i am already spending about $6 a person on water cans and wheel barrels and buckets...etc. so i need to spend about $2 tops on tools.

also the ones on that site are lead based and not recommended for children

I'll continue my search

......woudl anyone be terribley upset if the shovels and stuff were 4' long? I know its too long but i am having a terrible time finding smaller ones.
