My Musical Strawberry Shortcake Mirror

I scored big time the other day with this adorable musical Strawberry Shortcake Mirror in perfect condition. On the back, it says it was made in 1981, and the music box still works perfectly. And best of all, it was only 50 cents at the Crowded Closet!

Making Cute Cupcakes with Sprinkles!!!!

OH MY!!!! I think I may have made the world's cutest cupcakes!!! I whipped these little babies up straight outta the box Pillsbury style. The cupcakes themselves are strawberry with little fake chips of strawberry goodness mixed in and the icing is Funfetti, of course! Too bad I ran out of sprinkles by the end of my batch. They never give you quite enough sprinkles :(

Really, I just wanted an opportunity to wear my awesome Orla Kiely apron that Kendra got me for my birthday. I wish I could wear that thing everyday cause it's so darn cute!

Yum, yum!

More Tracy Feith Just Because....

Just because....

I felt like posting more adorable photos of the Tracy Feith clothing line at Target right now. This is actually the entire collection and I love the cute models they chose, especially the brunette, model Allie Crandel, who I totally want to be. She is sooo 60's and hot! I love her trashy hair and wingtipped eye makeup. Soo hot! Makes me want to get a spray tan and tease my hair with about half a bottle of Aqua Net!

Adorable, Tiny Food

Ever since childhood, I have been beyond fascinated with anything miniature. It probably started with needing props for Barbie and my American Girl doll, but it definitely did not stop there!

When I was in South Korea, I did manage to pick up a few original Japanese Re-Ment pieces here and there. Two of them were sushi sets, and the third was 50's Diner Mickey Mouse themed food. I love these miniatures for their perfect attention to detail and absolutely perfect quality. Also, each set was blind-boxed, meaning you don't know what you are going to get until you open it! How exciting!

In any case, I am back in the United States and have been dreaming and scheming on eBay for more Re-Ment pieces. With these, I would love to make little dioramas and re-creations of rooms, like a doll house. I think this would be very fun, but then again, I also have no children, no pet, and don't drink or do drugs, so I have to get pretty creative with what I do for fun!!!

P.S. The pink photos are from an Ebay auction I would love to win! You can check out the seller's store here:

Buy something for me if you would like:)
