Do you have a miniature silicone baby doll yet?
Back in 2022, I was searching everywhere for a tiny silicone baby that would work in my 1:6 scale world. I finally found this perfect custom doll on Etsy from Kovalevadoll, and honestly, I just thought she was adorable!
When I started posting videos with her, something magical happened—millions of you watched, commented, and fell in love with her too. She quickly became one of the most requested items in my collection.
Fast forward to today, and I’m seeing silicone baby dolls popping up in retail stores everywhere! It makes me wonder if those early videos helped spark the trend.
Were you one of the people who watched those original baby videos? Do you have a miniature silicone baby in your collection now? I’d love to know if you remember when these little ones first started appearing! 💕

Do you walk around looking for tiny things when you go shopping? ✨ Do you have a craft store near you? I love wandering the aisles hunting for tiny treasures hiding in unexpected places. Those mini billiard ball charms? Perfect pool table accessories. The “Hide Packages from Husband” doormat? Comedy gold. Miniature passports for my world-traveling dolls, snd groovy tumbler straw toppers that look like tiny Stanley cups. The best miniatures aren’t always in the dollhouse section. Sometimes they’re disguised as jewelry, toys, or kitchen gadgets.
Happy Twinning Tuesday! 🎬 What’s the last movie you saw at the theater?
These photos are from when “Welcome to Marwen” came out in 2018. My BFF and daughter-in-law were such good sports going along with my idea to bring our dolls to the movies! The film tells the incredible true story of Mark Hogancamp, who created a 1/6th scale village called Marwencol and photographed it to help heal his PTSD. The documentary “Marwencol” is equally powerful and well worth watching. His photography work in miniature scale is absolutely extraordinary—it really speaks to the healing power of creating tiny worlds. 📷❤️ #marwen #marwencol #grandmagetsreal
Do you bake your own bread? My husband just decided he wants to master sourdough, so our grandson (who’s in chef’s school) came over Friday to teach him the art of bread making. The kitchen smelled amazing all day! Of course, I had to recreate the magic in miniature. There’s something so satisfying about fresh-baked bread, whether it’s full-size or fits in the palm of your hand. 🍞✨
Cute or creepy? 😏 Do you remember the original Chatty Cathy? Mini Chatty Cathy in the house! 🪆✨ Sweet little freckles, red headband, and that iconic pull-string voice… but we all know why talking dolls still give people chills. Blame it on Talky Tina from The Twilight Zone? ‘My name is Talky Tina… and you’d better be nice to me.’ 😉
This tiny Hallmark Keepsake Ornament version is pulling strings and bringing back all the nostalgia… but maybe check under the bed tonight. 👀
There’s something about seeing babies all tucked in for the night that takes you right back, isn’t there? That peaceful silence, those tiny sleeping faces… Sweet dreams from our miniature nursery to you. 💕

Do you have a favorite doll from childhood, or one that holds special meaning in your life now?
People often ask which dolls I love most in my collection. While I treasure so many, my heart always comes back to the Happy Family Grandma and Grandpa dolls - they’re Ron and me in miniature form.

Did you get your exercise today? I went for a walk down memory lane. Ron and I hit the Golden West College swap meet this morning. I came home with some Acme magnets and a Barbie Cool Career fashion pack, but honestly, the real treasure was just looking at all the nostalgic items.
What always breaks my heart are the family photos that don’t have a family anymore—like this beautiful portrait of girls and their doll, or these precious baby pictures. Someone’s memories deserve to be cherished, not lost in a box at a swap meet.
But then there are the fun discoveries too—vintage Christmas ornaments still in their original Shiny Brite boxes, 8-track tapes (hello, Elvis!), classic Disney VHS tapes,
and even a red Barbie convertible. And those mini Coke bottles?
It’s always an adventure seeing what you might find. What’s your favorite swap meet or flea market treasure?
