Tiny things...

Who doesn't love tiny things? Is it just me? Are there other's out there that find anything can be made more appealing by shrinking it down? Mini cupcakes, mini M&M's, mini lipgloss, mini perfume, mini shampoo, mini coopers, mini golf, you get the picture right? It all suddenly becomes so very cute and nostalgic. Even when I'm packing for a trip, suddenly a mini, travel size deodorant seems cooler. I once told Lamont that some prankster should design mini commonplace items, things that we all use on a daily basis. Keys, utensils, napkins, toilet paper rolls, windex, etc, and then you could prank people by replacing their regular sized items with mini "shrink ray" inspired versions. Yeah, that's how obsessed I am with tiny things. I'm not even sure I used my better judgement by sharing that last tidbit.

So, naturally, when I found the items in the photos below on a recent Goodwill outing, I HAD to purchase them. Are they for the children you ask? Oh no, they are for ME. All for me, and currently reside on my dresser. Oh how I adore them in all of their teeny tiny glory!

The bacon looks a snit anemic in color, but it's tiny so who really cares?

Seriously?! How cool is this?

And finally, the piece de resistance...

And just because they are tiny, cute, and look DELICIOUS, check out these mini french macaroons on Etsy. I think I need to make French macaroons now!

  1. It's true, tiny is made of awesome. I have to say, the Goldfish and Wonder Bread are definitely my faves. So, so cool. I don't think I would share these with the kids, either.

  2. I had a brief meltdown yesterday when my 3 tiny pretzels were missing in action, but I found them safe and sound, and all was right in the universe again. Darn kids, don't they know not to touch mama's toys?! :)
