Best Place to Buy Something Small
Cats? Cute. Kittens? Cuter. Many things are more adorable when they’re smaller, which explains all our oohs and ahhs during our trips to Auntie Em’s Miniatures in Historic Downtown Glendale. When we say that Auntie Em’s has everything you could possibly need to stock a dollhouse, we mean it, from a teeny-tiny copy of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and a minuscule bag of Lay’s barbecue potato chips to a tiger-skin rug and a hand-painted dresser. The thousands of items are wonders of small-scale craftsmanship and hell of a lot of fun to look at. And that’s just half of Auntie Em’s — the other side of the store is devoted to a huge assortment of retro toys, including model trains, “Masters of the Universe” action figures, pedal cars and vintage Barbies.
