I don't know about a shop, given that is very local information, but I can tell you what you are looking for is 1/4 scale doll house furniture, which happens to correspond to 1:48. I have no idea why it is called that, btw.

They are ok size wise but will require a lot of work methinks. I was going to work on one but then my 6 and 4 year olds spied it.....I didn't stand a chance :(

Researching the Furniture Packs I found that the term Brown Plastic Furniture found more sites than the Mini Doll House did. Also discovered a site with illustrations on Converting various pieces from the packs into other types of furniture:   http://wannainelpaso.com/smallerscale/bashing_bpf.shtml

Here in the states a friend sent me to these sites:

http://www.miniatures.com/14-Furniture-Kits-P17012.aspx

The last site has a all packages deal.

My thanks to those that provided information for the search !

Thanks, Alfrik, for those great links!

I have used a fair bit of this stuff in the past and any tips are appreciated.
