Now you've all roused my interest.

At a recent club auction I bought a dozen small mame pots that I've been
staring at, trying to figure out what to do with.
I'd like to find some accent candidates for these pots.
They range in size from 1 inch wide X 1/2 inch tall, to 4 inches wide X 1
inch tall.

Any suggestions what I can grow here in Zone 6 in a nice south facing window
?
And where I might get them ?

Thanks

Many shady damp yards will have Ajuga reptens. It is available
though Wayside Gardens and in nurseries in MY area. Delosperma
(ice plant) should do well. Again, check Wayside Gardens.
Dianthus are even available at Home Depot, but probably won't do
too well indoors. Rushes and small ferns can be found in damp,
wild places.

For companion plants I have "Blue Eyed Grass," (maybe Sisyrinchium
iridifolium) Ficus petiolaris, Ficus Ginseng (not sure the real variety), and Scilla
violacea

I find that a quick and easy companion planting is taking a pot such as you have
and planting grass seed in it about two weeks before whenever I'm going to use it
for display. The bright green of the new grass is very attractive.
