You don't set out to start a collection.
You're not even thinking about it, when suddenly while out strolling
through the booths at your favorite flea market
you see her..........
there she is
tucked amidst an orphaned tea cup and an old Scooby Doo jelly glass
she is lost and forgotten
but she looks beautiful to you
your heart skips a beat
you must have her.
And that, my friends, is how a new collection is born
The latest object of my affection;
has become my latest OBSESSION
Do you recognize her?
She is the stuff little girl's dreams are made of.
So many wonderful memories came rushing back when I saw her.
And there you have it.....
the beginning of a newobsession, collection.
This called for a new little tree put in place on my bedroom dresser
Instead of a traditional tree topper, I believe this calls for......
A PINK SHOE, what else?????
and the quest was on to fill it with all the vintage Barbies of my youth.
Real Vintage Barbies are out of reach for my pocket book and I really wouldn't
have any place to display them....not quite MY decor.
But these miniature gems from Hallmark are just right.
I'm only interested in the Vintage Barbies 1959 through early Sixties.
with all the pretty outfits I remember.
Tracking down these tiny treasures on E-Bay has been a lot of fun.
Each time a new one arrives in the mail
I'm as excited as a little girl.
Mr. Wonderful just smiles and shakes his head, as I oooh and aaaah over it
and say..." I remember having this outfit"
It is so sad that the Barbie's today don't have a fraction of the true fashion sense Original Barbie had.
She was always so .....GLAMOROUS
When I'm purchasing Barbie and her clothes for my little Granddaughter,
it's shocking how unacceptable most of her looks are now. It's hard to find pretty clothes.
Needless to say little Granddaughter is captivated by this Barbie beauty;
which will all be hers one day.
What little girl doesn't love Barbie? Or big girl, for that matter. Ha ha
Hopefully she'll have fond memories of this sweet tree.
And in the mean time....I'm having enough fun for both of us.
Now if I could only find .....KEN!!!!!
