📸✈️ #ThrowbackThursday: Fly back to the groovy ‘70s! ✈️📸

Did you own this retro treasure? Or maybe you catalogue-shopped it, dreaming of Barbie’s high-flying adventures? 

Remember Barbie’s United Friend Ship? This vinyl wonder unfolded to a whopping 4 feet long, letting our plastic pals jet-set in style! At just $9.99 in 1972, it was the hottest toy in town from ‘72 to ‘74. 

What’s your fave ‘70s Barbie memory? Spill the tea in the comments!

When do you get a new calendar / planner? I just hung a new 16-month 2025/2026 calendar on my fridge. 

There’s something so satisfying about a fresh start with a new planner - whether it’s full-size or perfectly tiny.

Do you switch to a new planner at the new year, or are you a mid-year fresh-start person? 🎯✏️ #PlannerCommunity #MiniatureLover #PlannerLife #TinyThings #miniatures​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

These incredible 1/12 scale miniature infant car seats are from Anna at Little House of Lights! 🎀 The attention to detail is amazing - from the tiny safety buckles to the adjustable carry handle. Love how she even included different color options (that pink one is adorable!) Wouldn’t these would be perfect for any modern dollhouse nursery?

What treat is hiding in YOUR freezer right now? 🍦 In my miniature kitchen, I have Fudgsicles stocked. There’s just something about opening that tiny freezer door and finding the perfect frozen treat waiting. What’s your favorite thing to grab from the freezer?

Fascinating or Freaky? 🤔
One of the most intriguing pieces in my collection is a silicone baby doll that comes “en caul” (still in the amniotic sac). As someone who’s been fascinated by the miracle of birth and babies my whole life, I find this incredibly detailed miniature so interesting.
What’s your take - fascinating or a little too realistic?

Did you have Lucite grapes in your childhood home? This tiny cluster was made by @the_atomic_doll for my miniature retro world. 

Chances are - you remember these grapes perched on coffee tables and sideboards everywhere. Made from translucent acrylic lucite, they caught the light in the most mesmerizing way. Today, they’re having a revival as vintage collectibles, beloved for that nostalgic retro vibe.
