My Rainbow High and Shadow High Girls
A gift from last year, unwrapped this year. Happiness feels so much greater when I don’t unbox all presents at once. I always like saving a few for later, stretching the excitement over several days (or years!) instead of squeezing it into one moment. It’s almost like I’m giving myself little bursts of joy every […]

Life in a Dreamhouse
Lately, I’ve struggled to write or enjoy the things that once brought me joy even something as simple as dressing up. I had to decline several projects that I now regret.

Drawn To My Sister’s Barbie Room—Again!
It’s been a while and I just thought of putting this story in my blog so I won’t forget. I found myself drawn to my sister’s Barbie room—again. She was the real Barbie collector between us. Mine is just small because I focus more on vintage/antique dolls and I couldn’t help but admire her vast […]
