Anything catch your eye?
Stepping into @odinparker in Newport Beach isn’t shopping — it’s stepping inside a storybook. 🍂✨ Every shelf whispers a little tale, every tiny treasure feels handpicked by fairies. I went in hoping a few of their wee mouse and bunny pieces might find a home in my miniature nursery. 🐰🧸

Goodnight from Grandma’s miniature nursery 🌙 and the sweetest silicone baby doll. Sweet dreams.

Did your mama or grandma sew for your dolls? 🪡💕
Found this Vogue Craft pattern at an estate sale and it took me right back. Back in the 70s, my mother made the most beautiful “mommy-made” outfits for my Barbies. When we moved from Germany to England with the Air Force, all our toys were stolen — including every dress she ever sewed for me. 💔 What I wouldn’t give to have them today.

What’s your favorite shop for 1:6 scale miniatures?
Over the years, I’ve found so many amazing accessories for my miniature world at @magnolia.minis — from tiny Haribo Goldbears to little Similac formula cans to teeny Tupperware. The detail blows my mind every single time. 🥰

Do you chew ice? 🧊
I do! And clearly I love ice so much I started collecting it in miniature, too. Aren’t these tiny blue Japanese Re-Ment trays just darling?
Does anyone else remember those old metal ice trays with the lever on top? You’d crank that handle and crack — ice everywhere. My kitchen growing up had one, and I can still hear the sound.
Do you celebrate Cinco de Mayo? 🎉🌮✨
Grandpa’s rocking the biggest sombrero in town and Grandma’s got the unicorn piñata ready to party! Complete with tiny tacos, churros, tamales, and all the colorful vibes.
Even our dolls know how we do it in Southern California — it’s a huge celebration here in the LA/California area — a big, joyful excuse for amazing food, music, and community. 🇲🇽💃
Who else is out here eating their weight in tacos today? 🌶️🥑
Have you ever been to Palm Springs?
Happy Twinning Tuesday! 💕
That time I took my mini me to Palm Springs! ✨ I didn’t make it to the full Barbie Convention in 2024, but since it was just a few hours from home, I made the drive for the day — and oh my goodness, was it worth it.
They had the most darling dioramas by @dolleduplife set up for photo ops, and of course I had to plop my little mini right into these dreamy mid-century Palm Springs scenes.
Matching floral kimonos, matching Barbie tees, matching smiles — twinning at every scale. 🌴👯♀️

Do these little blankets bring back memories?
Look what just arrived at Grandma’s miniature nursery! 🍼
I purchased this precious pack of miniature hospital blankets and those classic striped hospital hats from Etsy — and oh my goodness, they are absolutely perfect for my silicone baby dolls. There’s just something about those stripes that takes you right back to the moment they place that brand-new little bundle in your arms for the very first time.

How many dogs at your house? 🐾
A tiny treasure from 2007 — MegaHouse’s “Dachshund’s Coffee Shop.” A wiener dog espresso bar, serving espresso with the cutest à la mode dessert plate you ever did see. Some things are just too charming for words.

Did you love baby dolls when you were little? 💕 I was absolutely obsessed — I’d spend hours rocking and fussing over mine like they were the most precious things in the world.
These are some of my favorite treasures from my miniature nursery. There’s just something so joyful about hunting down teeny tiny baby essentials — Pampers, Huggies, baby oil, little rubber duckies, the sweetest onesies on hangers — all sized perfectly for my tiny baby dolls. Cradling them in Ron’s hands really shows you just how itty-bitty they are! 🦆🍼
Some things you just never outgrow.

What would you order? Who else wishes they could shrink down and pull up a chair at a table like this? Pass the lobster, please! 🦞
Sorting through this vintage Re-Ment “Rementoir” French Restaurant set today and oh my goodness — my Barbies are about to be living a life of luxury! 🦞🍷
Tiny lobsters, racks of lamb, bottles of Bordeaux nestled in their little baskets, gold copper serving pots, and the daintiest gold-rimmed china you ever did see. This is fine dining, miniature edition!
From escargot to grilled sea bass to the prettiest little desserts — Re-Ment thought of everything. My dolls didn’t even know they had reservations tonight. 😂
Pass the lobster, please!

Did you have a Walkman? 🎧
I got my first one in the summer of 1980, when I was modeling in Tokyo. I wore my Air Supply cassette out.
There was something about clipping it to your waistband, slipping those foam headphones over your ears, and walking down the street like you had your own personal soundtrack. Just you, the music, and wherever your feet were taking you.
Tell me — what was the first cassette you wore out?
