Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Gus is having a quiet Thanksgiving at home, with his cousin Lucian. There’s hot apple cider on the stove, Lucian’s spiced pumpkin bread is in the oven, and they are up to their elbows in festive decor! I hope you all are having a truly wonderful day today!!

Appreciating Miniature Instagram

It may be cold and rainy outside, but Gus is scrolling through #dollstagram, and feeling just as cozy as can be, admiring all the photos of innovative fashion, chic decor, and action packed adventures!!

I just want to say how much I really appreciate the wonderful network of miniature enthusiasts, artists, and collectors on Instagram! I love that I can always count on learning something new, being inspired, amazed, and thoroughly entertained by the posts you all share! It is a challenge to keep up with it all, but just knowing the sheer amount of brilliant creativity being shared on #dollstagram, each day, is truly heartwarming! I am also so grateful for the wonderful friends who I have met on that platform!! You mean so much to me! 😊💙

Shandel's Carpet

This week, I challenged myself to recreate this famous photograph of the strikingly glamorous model, @aaronshandel , with Gus! I keep stumbling over the original on Pinterest, and I think it’s brilliant how Shandel absolutely sells the whole Persian-carpet-as-a-shawl concept.

Chilling At Home

An at-home mood: Street style and fuzzy Versace inspired slippers.

Stovall's Birthday

Gus and Lucian were invited to join a virtual instagram birthday party for Stovall of @thelifeofstovall today! The instructions were for dolls to join in via a video chat, or phone call. Below, Gus and his cousin, Lucian, are working together to set up a zoom meeting, so they can wish Stovall a very Happy Birthday! Lucian made tea!

And the trio are live on zoom! 

Gus and Lucian (and me, shouting from the background): 🎶”...Happy Birthday, dear Stovall, Happy Birthday to you!!!

Sinatra 🐶: 🎶”Awroooo-oooo-oooo”

Gus: “Happy Birthday, Buddy!!!”

Lucian: “We hope you have the best day ever!!!”

Gus: “- An awesome day!!”

Lucian: “We put up streamers!!”

Gus: “You’re amazing, Stovall! Thanks for being there, and being such a pal!!

Lucian: “A regular brick!!!”

Gus: “Lucian, you’ve been watching old movies again!”

Our very best wishes to the brilliant, charming, and inspiring Stovall!

I also made a small Birthday gift, and sent it ahead. Luckily, it arrived the day before the party! Stovall recently remodeled his miniature kitchen, and his Giant, Cody, has been 3D printing pumpkin pies and turkeys! I thought a little retro-inspired kitchen set might come in handy.  

Morning Stroll

Gus returns from a quiet morning stroll with Sinatra, the beagle. The day is still a little chilly, and Sinatra makes a great hand warmer.

Tea Time

This week has been icy and blustery! Gus is staying warm, curled up in his favorite chair, enjoying a piping hot pot of tea in his new tea set!  Many thanks to @stovallthedoll, for the elegantly designed little teapot!! It’s a really beautiful piece, and I had a lot of fun decorating it with a hand painted botanical motif, inspired by a @ralphlauren tea set from this season!
