Grandma Gets Real – Instagram

Do you blow dry your hair? I do. It would take me hours with this mini thing. Re-Ment Miniatures are from Japan - The older sets are quite collectible and pricey these days. You can sometimes find them on eBay. They are often used as Dollhouse Miniatures. Many Barbie and other doll photographers on social media use them in their 1/6 scale dollstagram dioramas. The tiny foods, makeup, and accessories are perfect in a Barbie size tiny kitchen. The furniture is 1/8 and too small for Barbie. 👵🏻💖 Welcome to Grandma’s House where I post dolls, miniatures, and nostalgic things. There’s nothing like a walk down memory lane. My name is Tonya aka GrandmaGetsReal. I started on social media six years ago photographing Barbies. Then, I began to collect 1/6 scale realistic miniatures for their Playscale dioramas. I filled their room-boxes with tiny things, mini foods, and other Barbie size things. #miniatures #miniatureworld #tinythings #rementjapan #rementcollection ...

Have you ever made your own dolls? I thought it would be a fun project to try to paint silicone baby dolls with my teenage granddaughters since we’ve been making reborn dolls together for years. I didn’t bring the right paints 😬🤪 - so they ended up just using makeup to add color to them. It won’t last thru a bath 🛁- but they look sweet. Didn’t they do a nice job? Would you paint your own doll? 👵🏻💖 My name is Tonya aka GrandmaGetsReal. I started on social media six years ago photographing Barbies.
