“My whole house is a time warp.”

1. Moustached Ballerina cell-phone charm
I don’t understand why the ballerina has a moustache, not to mention the unfortunate Hitler resemblance
Department store in Tokyo

2. Collector’s Edition Picnic Set Barbie
I love her outfit and her fishing pole. I think I wanna be her.
It was a gift from the store ‘My Favourite Doll’ when I shot part of a TV show there

3. Makes me feel like i fit in, in my Portuguese neighbourhood
Twas a gift from God

4. My buddy Geraldine
She’s part of my family and I love her dearly. I feel bad that ive let her hair get all matted. I’m sorry Geraldine!
I got her free at Boots in the UK because the cashier could see that I was feeling blue

5. A pencil sharpener!
Ive had it since I can remember, so it has nostalgic value and despite its teeny tiny size it always seems to catch guests’ eyes
I have no idea where it came from

6. A semi-functioning 1962 Seabreeze turntable
It folds up into a case so I can bring it around with me
Flamboro Antique Show

7. Tea cups
Im told they were originally sold with a paint set so you could colour them in
Value village – $1 each!

8. Vintage art thingy
I love that its 3D, and the colours are super kitschy
It called out my name at the Christie Antique Show and though I played hard to get at first I ultimately succumbed

9. A small collection of fridge magnets from different cities around the world
They are so stereotypically ridiculous that they are awesome
I bought myself a few and now friends pick them up for me on their travels- keep it up folks!!

10. Illustrations from a Polish children’s story book
The colours are fantastic and the style of the art is so different than what you would find in a North American children’s book
An acquaintance brought them to a bar with her and offered them up to whomever wanted them. I snatched them!
