Boston travel tips?

Well, Cambridge isn't far from Boston. I hope you get a chance to go to Boston itself!

I visited Boston for an afternoon or so while I was visiting my aunt outside Boston last year. We went to Quincy Market. You might want to browse around there.

I remember seeing some miniatures at Newbury Comics. It wasn't doll prop Heaven, but it was something.

Some of the Christmas tree ornaments at Christmas in Boston looked like they might have been good for dolls, perhaps dolls of smaller scale. It might be worth checking out. I believe they are open all year even though they're a Christmas shop. I went in August last year.

Have fun!

 

Unfortunately a lot of the places we used to frequent that were local small businesses with miniatures and necklaces and things closed post Covid. Now it’s like… go to Michael’s or Joann’s? Which can be found anywhere in the US, so they’re not as special.

If you do make it to the Cape a lot of those little touristy shops have miniatures that work for dolls or carry American Girl things that can sometimes work for BJDs. Historical sites also sometimes have cute miniatures in their gift shops if you hunt around.
