Happy 2fer Tuesday. this one actually fits the theme!
Hi Anita... I am going out early to run a few errands before
the next storm hits! UGH!
Hi Ronnie... LOVE that teal kitchen... takes me back to when my SIL actually had a teal kitchen in her apartment!
Ours was the Brown at my Mom's.
Hi Nancy.. love the red dress and the little salmon colored table.
But OMG... love the notebook with all the collector's cards displayed! I know I have those....somewhere... need to find them and get them into a notebook! great idea
STAR**** A+++ on that one!
Hi Paula... I agree about the Gene dress. Unfortunately the outfits that Integrity is making for Gene are not as
great as the Ashton Drake IMO, of course, so I have not been
purchasing many lately. In fact... NONE! nor have most of my Gene pals.
But then, I have so many that I don't NEED more!
Well, maybe one or two more!! (slapping hands)
Hi McGee... hope you are feeling better today. Miss all your fun posts.
Hi Wendy... sure hope you are doing better today.
Hi Marigene..
Hi Barb.. did you get snow there too?? Stay safe!
HI Pam.. hope you are doing okay. Did you get your sewing/Barbie room up and running yet?
Hi Marie....
Hi Liz..thanks for the emails
Hi Monika...hope you are having PJ parties! at least with Riley!
I got all ready to have my Hubby set up the Pro Photobucket on the weekend ...and then my internet went down! Now I have to wait til he is "ready" again!
I need to get going.. bbl Jackie

Happy Two for Tuesday everyone.
A quick peek in and post before leaving EARLY for work due to the snow.
Schools are closed today, good thing DH works from home.

KATE- I love your Zokko in pink and love what you did with the material from Mood Matches. I would kill to be able to sew and repair. I end up spend big bucks for minty clothes because I can't sew a stitch. The COATS I posted are from separate vintage lots of Barbie clothes I won on ebay. I have them in the oven baking right now. I am trying to keep to my original plan for collection- vintage Barbie clothing. Of course, I have added Silkstones to that along with OOAK fashions by Barbie Buds and others as well as my ever growing collection of Fab-lu for Babs British Crown Colony Hong Kong knock-offs.

WENDY- I am so sorry to hear you are ill. Wishing you a speedy recovery. That really bites about the insurance.

ANNE- Happy belated birthday.

Need to run and get ready for work- Hugs and positive thoughts for all, Anita

LOL Anita...I'll talk to her about it, but I don't think she will be too interested in what I have to say! Lol..!

Kate Those are some great looking pink boots to go with that outfit!!!! Perfect color match!

Brenda thanks!

Paula thank you. I have another outfit I didn't get around to posting earlier. I found the platinum haired doll (actually I put the platinum haired doll head on a repro tnt doll I had taken off of a loose limbed doll)in the dark pink with the pink tie cape at a thrift store that is wearing the newest outfit I got.

My first two pics are twofers for today!













Here is a red dress for Valentine's Week I made two years ago. She is wearing FR shoes.

Hi Brenda...more snow coming here tomorrow. Hope you don't get it too.
Hi Kate... you have done some wonderful things with the stuff you got in lots. Sometimes finding a garment that needs attention becomes even better!
Hi Stacy... hope you are doing okay out there.
Hi Marie... love the story. Your girls have wonderful short haircuts. Barbie's hair usually doesn't do well cut short.
Did you get them that way, or can you do it yourself?
glad you are able to sell things on ebay so you can get more $$ for new stuff.

Evening All!

Marie – I love the names you give your dolls! Does Romeo have elf ears under that hair? I’m so sorry about your neighbor’s child – that is so hard for an adult but even harder when it is a child.

Diane – That genie picture is great!

Jackie – It sounds like the snow will melt away pretty quickly – I hope you can get out of the house soon!

Nancy – I love that Addie May is relaxing in her slippers and smoking like mad!

Anita – Are those clone coats or vintage handmade? Lol at the churchlady!

Marigene – More fab finds! What a beautiful Lily of the Valley shrub – that is one of my favorites – lilacs too.

Wendy – Sending lots of good vibes and prayers your way. I hope you get better soon!

Shane – Lovely new fashions!

Sari – When I first read your post I though you said “Logan is growling like a little weed” and I couldn’t figure out what that meant! Lol!

McGee – I’m glad you have named so many Queens! Most excellent!

Anne – I’m glad Gary arrived safely – don’t you like his outfit? Very 70s disco! Lovely new Silkie outfit.

xxoo Kate

Here are my theme photos (okay, they are late and they didn’t come from thrift stores – they are all items that I kept out of Ebay-Barbie-boxlots – I sold the rest of the items so these ended up being freebies.
This one has a portion of the ruffle missing in the back and I had to repair the elastic waist.



This was a Walk Lively Steffie outfit that had the pants legs torn off – evened out the legs, hemmed ‘em and made hot pink boots to go with it!



Momoko and Casey are wearing the Mood Matchers outfit, and the other gals are wearing pieces I made from an extra pair of Mood Matchers palazzo pants.



All these items were also from box lots except the Leisure Leopard that Julia is wearing (that was from Anita last Valentine’s!). I altered both the dresses that Skipper and Francie are wearing.

Valentine Surprises

Castille’s little sister, Val, arrives after her drive from Memphis, their hometown. She will be visiting for a few days. Castille hopes to cheer up Val since her dramatic break up with her long time boyfriend.

“Hi Val! So good to see you! You are looking trim as ever!”

“Thanks Castille, I’m so happy to see you and your new home. But sis, it looks like you’ve had one too many cookies lately!” Val tells her sister.




“Oh silly Val! You were always one to notice! That’s one of my surprises for you! I wanted to tell you in person.” Feeling nauseated she sits down to rest,
“Whitiker and I are going to have a baby!”

“Gosh sis, that’s such fabulous news!! Congratulations!
But I have another surprise?”

Castille tells her that her other surprise will be here soon.




Castille tells Val she’s sorry about the break up.

“It’s been pretty rough on me,” Val says.

“Don’t worry sis, there are still plenty of fish in the sea! You’re going to have a great time these next few days,” Castille tells her sister.




Whitiker comes in from work and gives Castille a gentle kiss and hands her pink roses.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, sweetheart.
How are you and baby doing this afternoon?”




Val congratulates Whitiker on the new baby.




Then Val sees her surprise?!

Whitiker’s good friend arrives. He’s an undercover narcotics agent down at the station.

“Hi, I’m Romeo,” he says, handing her one red rose.

“Thank you, I’m Val.”

Val can hardly speak.
‘He’s SO gorgeous! What could be more perfect than my very own Romeo for Valentine’s Day,’ she thinks to herself.

Sari-Beautiful Dolls/Beautiful Fashion! :) I am trying to get better at posting. :)

I am starting to slack on my "New Photo" Resolution-but hope to get back to keeping it really soon. Just wished that the SUN would cooperate when I am wanting to take pics..lol

What Commercials did Everybody like last night? My Top Pics-Of course the KISS one...lol Let's see-Stevie Wonder/Tracy Morgan/SlugBug one was funny-Dorito's commercial with the Dog/collar-, the Little boy/Doritos, and the one with the Doritos/funeral, also like Lettermen/Leno and Oprah...I am sure there are others but those are the ones I can think of right away.

Great to see you posting, Shane. :) Great new fashions!! :)

Wendy-FEEL Better soon, and I know firsthand that H1 is awful stuff..You really should go see a Dr.

Waving at ya, Marie-I didn't forget to send you those dirties I promised...LMAO!

Wow Marigene-You have found some Wonderful things. :)

More I wanna say..but of course I have forgotten it..lol

Have a great evening, BBB!! And KEEP WARM! It's FREEZING here!

Hi All!

Hi SARI, good to see you. We are getting ready to get hit by the storms. Your doll is gorgeous! I love her hair. Is that a "lemon" color? I can't remember what it's called.
Oh yes, rain in the summer is ever so welcome. OMG what a HOT dry July/August we had! Unbelievable!

ANNE, Good for you, I'm due to go to the dentist. It does make a difference how gentle the hygienist is. My DH turned 48 on the 5th this month! Hard to believe how time flies!! I met him when he was 15!!! (I was 14!) That IS a gorgeous outfit! Truly scrumptious ! Those OOAK outfits are the best!! Love the cardigan. Your Dawns got another boyfriend?
So that's 2 guys!? They are still gonna have to share!!

CYNTHIA, Hope you get some playtime soon!

SHANE, fabulous polka dotted Teal Appeal!!

JACKIE, no, I have been selling! I'm doing really well. Been paying off some bills and also have funds leftover to buy more stuff! LOL! I really enjoy selling and am having a blast. It keeps me busy which is very good! I have also been working on a few new dioramas which I am SO excited about. Glad to know you are doing well with your treatments. I just found out today that my neighbor down the street, her little boy, 6 years old, has terminal cancer. They have to drive over 2 hours one way for his radiation treatment at the childrens hospital in Houston. After a few months of that, then on to chemo for a few months. They just found out recently. I cried.

Be back with a Valentine story!!

Hugs!
Marie

Hi Sari... that is a beautiful photo. Is she vintage or a repro? love the gold jacket.
I love getting special things at the conventions, I have
lots, but not all where I can find them.LOL a Barbie bomb
does exist here!
Hi Anne... that is a really neat outfit. I love the knits.
Hi McGee... glad you are feeling better now. this winter has hit some of us pretty hard!
I was glad Hubby took me out today because the main road has only one lane down to bear road and the subdivision street is nearly impassable at the corners!! Gotta look hard around those piles of snow that are about 8 feet tall.
they just showed why some schools have closed for the entire week already.....the busses are standing up to their wheelbases in snow and digging them out is gonna take a lot of work!
they just upped the snow coming tomorrow to about 10 inches.
(just what we wanted! LOL )

Boy, twice in one day…this is a record for me…LOL

Jackie, no, I didn’t make the dress, bought it at convention in DC. The lady had a table full of them all made in different materials.

Anne, what a beautiful suit you bought for you Silkie! It looks perfect on her.

Shane, so good to see you again! The new fashions are very nice.

McGee, got the new theme lists, thanks!

Still raining her in soggy TX. Going to get ready and meet DH for dinner at Black Eye Pea…BBL

Hi everyone! Survived the weekend with only a couple inches of new snow. Thanks so much for the B'Day wishes, I appreciate it. I told DH he now has "Two 24's" this year...I am 48...LOL! I've been looking for some new outfits for my Silkie, she only has the dress she came in. I bought the Ski outfit before Christmas and found a beautiful OOAK knit outfit for her to wear. I got it today in the mail. It is a top, skirt, cardigan, belt, earrings and purse. Here is a pic of it:



Excuse the pic, I just couldn't get the lighting right today. It's well made. The photos don't do it justice. If anyone is looking for some OOAK knits for Silkies or FR's the seller is: signs_just_4u She has alot of different styles and colors, some BIN's, some auction.

Marie: I so agree that Marigene is the Queen of Deals! We have several second hand/thrift stores here, but the people that run them go over everything with a fine tooth comb and anything that looks old or may have some value goes in a locked cabinet in the front of the store with a big price.

Just came back from the dentist and a cleaning. Had a new girl do my teeth today...liked her so much better than the one who usually does it, she is so much gentler on my mouth.

Well, just a quickie. Noticed it is time already to go get DH. Will return later.

Kate: Gary safely arrived! Thanks so much. I am getting a little story together for his arrival in the Dawn clan.

The General is still home right now so my habits, good and bad, are being interrupted. *gasp* I’ve tried to keep up by reading the board and I apologize for not posting my comments every day. You all deserve a big round of applause for everything you’ve posted!


Thank you Ronnie, I’m doing better and I appreciate your concern and warm thoughts you posted last week. I know… I’m a snail. I did the same thing to my Sindy china cabinet too and I like the sideboard in the dinning room, btw! It might look better if it was in a larger space though. Can you put it in the room with that fabulous staircase?

Monika, I got the yahoo mail! Wonder why it came back to you?

Congratulations, Randi! You’ve joined the ranks of the publicly admitted Procrastinators!


Omigosh, Marigene! You are hereby proclaimed “Queen of Deals”!


Wendy, I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this! I just said a prayer for you. Now how could we forget our Diorama Queen?!

You’re welcome, Princess Sari! Which reminds me… I filled out the spreadsheet and now I need to send it to you.

HI Sari...that's a beautiful doll.
did you make her dress?
Hi Shane.. love the polka dots and the blue silk
Hi Wendy... sounds like you really need to see a doctor.
And not good when you have no insurance. Hope you feel better soon HUGS
Hi Lilly... haven't heard from you in a while, hope you are okay.
Hi Marigene... you are certainly the queen of lucky finds!!
congrats!
Hi Marie... doing another EBaY Shopathon?? while it is conventient, it is not necessarily cheap! (in case you didn't already know that! LOL)
I just got home from my treatment. Also saw the doc. He says I am doing great and we will continue treatments.
The machine was working fine. Whew!
I told him the weather was more of a challenge than the treatments right now. LOL

I ADORE your Lucy doll. Do you know which one she is? I like her expression, not so silly like that one with her puckered up lips.

DIANE, that little Kelly Jeanie doll is so cute. I'm loving that b/w floor!! OMG, what is it?? Looks fab!!

Good Morning... Happy Valentine's week! there are a whole lot of really cool GIFs to choose from, so how about one every day.
Hubby went to work. It is very cold and the snow is crunchy.
Hope it warms up to above freezing. Since hardly anyone is at his office, he is coming home to take me to my treatment.
I called and the machine is working again.
And ... I need to get out of the house, at least for a little while.
Hi Anita... love Church Lady doing intervention for the smoker girls! those robes look nice and warm!
Hi Diane.. having some hot chocolate with mini marshmallows
does that count for toasting them?

Everyone stay warm and safe who are having snow problems.

Marigene you do get a lot of good finds. Clear out is an awesome find and looks so pretty on your doll. All of your finds are true treasures. I did go to a thrift store today and found a doll that looked like a 1970 era doll. She has platinum blond hair. When I get her fixed up I will post a pic. I am not sure if I will leave her on the body she has because it is way too limber to hold. Her legs and arms are very loose and limber. I will probably just put the head onto another tnt body. She has such a pretty face. Her hair is thinned out, but maybe enough there to pretty her up for now.

I posted a quick pic of Addie May. The doll with the pink hair is a clone of some kind.

Hugs,
Nancy

HI,
Well, the Superbowl is over for another year. Congrats to those who were rooting for the Saints.
My cable went out around noon and gave Hubby a near heart attack! He went out to shovel some more and got the car so it could go to someplace with a t.v. if necessary.
Luckily the cable came back on, but then the internet went down. Just came back on now. I guess we are lucky to have not lost power. I could hear the snow falling off the roof all day as the sun was out and it melted the snow a bit.
the plow came so our street is clear, or nearly clear.
Then Hubby got a call saying the office is closed tomorrow so has an official SNOW DAY. If my radiation machine is working he can take me there. Otherwise, we will have another day getting cabin fever.
Can you believe it, another smaller storm is headed our way for Tuesday. Several schools are closed tomorrow already and some for Tuesday too.
But the worst is over and we are going up to 40 by next weekend! yippee!!
Jackie

Nancy your Malibu dressed up as a superhero, boots looking so cool

Marigene, you've got access to some fantastic thrift shops wow

as for sewing, my Mom always says she enjoyed sewing our frilly girlie clothes.
in the 60's, she gave me sewing notions to make barbie clothes, dunno what happened to 'em all.
also made my own clothes when madras was preppy-popular
but most enjoy sewing home decorating with bedding, quilts, drapery panels, that sort.
not so much detail required for home decorating compared to tailored clothing LOL!

reposting Tommy as a little genie LOL. Wishing everyone a lovely week. Peace. Diane

Thanks to you sweet Ladies for the kind, lovely birthday wishes. I get in here so seldom, it was a surprise and pleasure to be remembered. Enjoyed seeing everyone's "finds". And, yes, drool exceedingly over Marigene's luck. Hugs ~ Mary

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MARY!!

Jackie – Lol at the wrong Ken! I hope you are all snugged in and keeping warm – don’t get cabin fever!! Cool coffee tutorial!

Stacy – Lol at your poor puppy not liking the snow!!

Nancy – Your space gal looks fabulous! I have been watching vintage Space 1999 episodes as well as vintage Trek so it all fits right in!

Marigene – More fabulous finds!

Randi – I’m sorry about the burned chili – I hate wasting food like that but sometimes it just happens!

Brenda – Cute kitty tummy!

McGee – My father had to laugh at the picture of the boys jammed onto the little window bed!

Suzette – Nice to see you again! Too bad about the lost registration – can you re-register using the same name?

Good Morning... from the land of the Blizzard of 2010!
Hubby has his car path shoveled and ready for tomorrow.
they plowed our street once so we can all get out if necessary.(good to have cops on your street!)

I have been working on another jigsaw puzzle and watching t.v. the weather is still on all the local channels and the cable channels are not getting good reception (could it be the 30 inches of snow they are under??) so I watched Harry Potter last night. It was about all I could find.
Looking forward to seeing the Wizardy village in Universal Studios in Florida sometime. Opens in the Spring
Ah, Spring, can't wait. I guess you are already there huh Marigene!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Safe and warm here. Jackie

Hi Ronnie... I love the sideboard. It looks good with the Sindy furniture. gives the room a little more dimension.
You have a wonderful collection of vintage and modern Barbie stuff.
I live in Northern Virginia, an hour south of D. C.
We were in the bullseye for this storm. Sounds like the side streets won't be plowed til Monday or Tuesday. And we
can't get out without at least 4 wheel drive, so am staying put til the plow comes.
Still no planes, trains or busses running in the whole area.
Plows have a lot of work to do!
But we are keeping warm and have plenty of food.

A big wave to everyone from warm Wyoming for a change. Wow the weather. i don't think it is global warming but global change. i think it got up to 40 something today. it is suppose to get cold tonight. my brother and sis in law lives in Maryland. JACKIE, where are you. stay warm.
KATE, love that Francie blk and pink dress. i just adore that. is it factory?
MARIGENE,,, NO WAY!!!! i am just blown away at all those dolls you found at thrifts. Do you know you have a gift? that is so cool. i would never leave the house without thrift money with your luck. i am going to go do more thrifting. wow. i love that Francie with no bangs. her hair is so different.
ANNE, i hope your birthday was a great one. sounds like it was. love Italian and what a sweet hubby to give you a Barbie Book. that is so neat. that is special you know. i got my Beautiful Blues outfit for my birthday. you know it comes from the deepest of the heart when they give you something Barbie as a gift. they might give you fun crap about playing Barbies at times but then the true self comes out when they remember with a Barbie. LOL...
Anita, i am a coffee lover too. Actually i am so addicted to espresso. to me, it is an art as much as taste. my freinds DH is looking for some of that tiger poop coffee for him and i to try. we are the espresso lovers. Tiger poop coffee? the kind that Jack Nicholson drinks in that movie the Bucket List. Gotta love it.
RANDI, how are your rooms coming? you asked me about that table. i was so frustrated and fingers were so raw that i put it up for awhile and havn't finished yet. someday. Maybe it will watch an espisode of Hoarders then i will finish it so i can get rid of the box and extra things in there that i don't need. LOL... Your dolls are just so so beautiful Randi. really you have quite a collection of everything. i love all your rooms. I had to laugh when you compared it to shopping and redoing as though you are doing your own house. boy isn't that the truth. you go out shopping with a pix in mind of how you want it and go to what ever stores you need to, to finish it. LOL.. that is so funny.
BRENDA, speaking of rooms!!! this one of the roasting mellows in the fireplace is one of my favs. Good for this time of year. But they all look so real like you can hear them talking and just having fun. Love it.
NANCY, Barbie really does look like she is flying. You did great with the depth of field.
SARI , NISE, EVERYONE, waving to you all.
Hi CAROLYN, thanks so much. it is so nice to see you pop in . i love your fashions and dolls. they are amazing beautiful!!!
Monika,,,, OMG on all your Babs and British Crown. Well all of them. i just sit and stare and i drool on my keyboard. i had collected quite a few fashions from British Crown but ended up selling them to a guy that collected them as well. that was quite a while ago. i just wouldn't have the space to collect everything i want. . Well thank you for sharing your closet with me tho. Oh, yes i don't need two staircases but got both cuz i didn't know the scale of the other until i got it. so I am going to sell the candle holder one or AM WILLING TO TRADE FOR A HOMEMADE DRESS, ONE OF THOSE SASH DRESSES IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED. ....
hi to all of you that i missed. just scrolled quickly. I wish you all the best.
Just got a Droid phone so have been busy figuring that out. love it.

HI all... got a little flustered... I USED to be a registered user at ICOG and at PREGO and I guess I'm not anymore... and I just HAD to post this SOMEWHERE...

For you Gene collectors wondering "what were they thinking" on the dress for Butterfly Shadow Gene... I FOUND that DRESS in one of my books of movie starlets.. I knew I'd seen it somewhere and just HAD to share it with SOMEONE.. SO for you ladies... Carol Landis in a publicity shot from 1939.. the exact dress for Butterfly Shadow Gene.

Hope you're all keeping safe and well where ever you may be... drizzly today, but that's my favorite weather. ENJOY YOUR DAY!!! (suzette)

LOL JACKIE! the 8 inches or so we had last weekend was the most we've had in years! and to have even some this weekend is really rare. i think the last big one we had was 1980, well over a foot or so, but the drifts were very high in places.

we had a bad "ice storm" in 95 or 96. the roads were completely covered and the tree limbs were hanging down. lots of power outages because of the ice.

a good day to do this: :)

doug makes smores

but we don't have very bad weather here much at all. hurricanes (knock on wood) steer away, except isabelle. we're definately not as pleasant as florida, thoooo! LOL

Hi...had a little nap!
HI Brenda... I took some photos, but haven't loaded them into the computer yet. Ours looks a lot deeper than your snow. By that I mean 30 inches deeper!
the snow has stopped now Yeah! so let the digging out begin!
Only the weather has been on all the local channels since yesterday so I have been following the storm coverage
ad nauseum!! But most people have stayed off the roads and they have minimum problems. I couldn't get past the driveway anyway til the plow comes through.
All relatives have checked in to see how we are doing, so
we can relax and just enjoy the evening. We wouldn't be going anywhere tomorrow since the big game is on!
Don't care who wins, just wish I were in Florida!!

Happy Caturday ya'll!!!
Ooo, I’m pea green over these phab finds of everybody’s!
The only thing I ever found at a was a dress half way down in a box of dressed 70’s dolls. I recognized something vintage sticking out a bit from under a white plastic coat on one doll so I unzipped it to make sure and got all giddy inside at the minty condition of a Sheath Sensation. I didn’t even try to bargain for a lower price, just handed over the $2.






Hate to post and run, but the General is a hollerin’ for me to come down before he starts the Pay Per View Movie without me.

Good Morning
From the land of the Blizzard! We have 20-24 inches of snow and it is STILL FALLING HARD!! we have 5-9 more inches yet to go. Hubby went out and dug a little more, but
you can hardly tell.... moving the first 6 inches was hard, but we have about twice that now and it is really heavy and you have to throw it higher and higher. UgH
to anyone in the snow.... my deepest sympathies
to anyone NOT in the snow.... you lucky people!!
But at least we still have power, and food.

I believe I should have just hibernated this winter!

Hi.. it is 4:30 a.m. and I was up so thought I would check on the snowstorm. It is still snowing hard, but smaller flakes. You can't tell where we shoveled out the first 6 inches!! But I am NOT going out there NOW to shovel again. that will have to wait til I am up and around more!!

Nancy... wow you have been inspired girl
who would think tin foil could be so cool on Barbie!!
Not sure it is comfortable (tee hee) but it is a wonderful
photo!
Hi Stacy... glad I don't have to walk a dog in all this snow... It is as tall as your dog! I am sure all the dog owners in the area are having discussions with their pets when it is time to go outside!!
back to bed, see ya later, much later.

Hi Marie.... Hubby and I just took turns shoveling snow.
It is about 6 inches, but the BIG STORM is still on its way.
they have changed the prediction to 20-30 inches now!
Dulles airport is a ghost town, only the maintenance crews are there now working on keeping the runways clear, etc.

the t.v. station has had nothing but the STORM REPORT on all day and will be on again tomorrow.they are soooo excited to have 2 record breaking snow storms this winter!!

Hubby and I got our supplies and then hunkered down for the remainder of the weekend. We will have to shovel several times to keep the driveway cleared. but 6 inches at a time is heavy enough for us!!
Gonna hit the hay early tonight!

Sending hugs and waving to WENDY!

Evening All!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ANNE!!

This is going with last week’s theme since I don’t have any pictures of the Marigene-style-lucky-finds that I have found – I’m sure I have had some but I can’t think of any off hand! Plus it has a bit of red in it!

Marie – Thank you for the numbers! Lol on your doll with morals living in the shed!

Marigene – Fabulous theme pictures!! (Of course!!) ;)

Stacy – Wow on that #3 find! Lovely! You have had some great luck with finds!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to ANNE

(only a tiny bit belated)

congratulation on the book and on your dh!
he knows what you want and need -
I agree this book is wonderful to look at and learn
wowww you did good buys - the titian, Skipper and Equestrienne are lovely - big congrats to you!
And your pics are also lovely!
You really do have more snow - I wanted to keep ours longer, but it's now raining and the rest is looking more poor, and often icy - one has to keep the eyes on the path not into heaven ;0)
LOL at my dolls overwhelming the house - no I keep them away from some rooms and I store most of them in boxes and in drawers (organized, yes, that's the only way to find at once what I'm searching for)

isn't it wonderful not to have to cook on/at your own birthday?!
and have a great day outside!

STACY OMG you got a WONDERFUL #3 - it's GORGOUS: the doll and your find! And the bubblecut box with all the other beauties - it's really wonderful to hear that there can be such a luck in finding Barbie treasures. Big congrats Stacy!
And your Silky pics are great - especially the lady with the picture hat portrait!
Had the AG and the Skipper and Skooter also be in this box? WOWWW - lucky you!

Waving at NISE - hope you feel fine!

CYNTHIA me thinks I have to give my medal back LOL
cute gif and thank you for be our hostess and spoiling us with all those different gifs in each reminder message!
Hope you're fine, also yahoo came back, have to send a card..

KATE 15:25 yesterday your Francie outfit and hat and bag is delightful - you did a great job!

MARIE - I did also love corduroy outfits when young, they were such a fashionable fabric at those times - and I see there is a timeless love because you're young.

PAM Hi - thank you for posting the elegant grey lace dress - IMO it would have been perfect with a grey hose/tights...but may be a young girl does think different ;0)

JACKIE you found a good bargain with hairy - and yeah you are THE bargain finder with the own bargain stock/shop/store right at home!

MARIGENE it's so cute that your mom does find it highly entertaining when you got excited LOL - she is a lady with humour - and oohh we all know that your luck is deserved.
Marigene-luck is the right word for it, Cynthia is right!

special Francies,Bubblecuts, a FLUFF, Skippers, Skooter, all the greeks, two BEAUTIFUL Color Magics (LOL at the birthday gift!)the #3 and #5 - oooooohhhhhh and ooooohhhhh, you're a lucky finder and I love to hear about your bargains

andygdvb....I don't know your doll, but I'm not so good on the newer dolls - why are you sure it's real hair?

Zeroposter - is it successful to lie on yourself LOL

DIANE I always enjoy your Smileys - so cute in your messages!
And the menuett dancing couple is perfect together - I love all the different shades of blue you putted together - and the posing!
Your mom must have been very busy - to sew for four girls!
And she must have loved to do it, when she chosed also those delightful fabrics like dotted swiss - and your dad was also a talented tailor - no wonder that you learned it - and what are you sewing now?
I did always love to sew for me and later for my kids - only hubby got escaped ;0)- but nowadays I'm no longer a hobby seamstress ...it changed. One does need patience for sewing.

all the outfits are clone outfits - but they resemble the fashion of the time as nice as the other well known Barbie outfits

Hi BBB gals! Beautiful sunny day here, but oh so cold! It has been cold all week long after the foot of snow we had last Friday/Saturday....-32 celcius with the wind chill. Yesterday was my B'day, DH took me out to our favorite Indian restaurant for dinner, so I did not have to cook. He gave a a beautiful Barbie reference book...it is one of my bargains of the day...he paid $9.99 for it. Here it is with a couple of pix from the inside:



I just love it. The dolls in it are absolutely gorgeous! and the fashion variations!....There is also info and pictures showing the factories in Japan and the dolls being assembled.

Another find from KIJIJI...a buy and sell site online. I got the Titian TNT for $15 and the Titian Skipper for $10. Two of my fav dolls:



And one of my "Marigene finds"...found it, paid for it and ran, laughing all the way, For $5 at a miniature doll show, Equestrienne Barbie, she came in her original outfit. Shown here in a newer FA fashion:



Marigene: I saw the Survivor show last night. Can't wait for the start next week...Your finds are wonderful..wish I had second hand stores here like yours...The color magic, I would have died on the spot when the guy said $.50 cents!

Nancy: Your smoking dolls are a hoot! So creative and real looking....It's amazing they could get their sewing done and see with all the smoke...LOL!

Kate: Hope you are feeling better. My oldest sister suffers from migraines too and has to get in a dark room and lie down.

Monika: Love your Babs/ Fab Lu clone collection...do you own a seperate house for your dolls...LOL! Your scenery looks alot like where I live...only we have more snow right now...

Randi: Love your new Skipper room...the sock monkey is so cute. Ken does need to get up off his duffer and hang those pictures!

Jackie: Wouldn't Barbie look Fab in that ice carriage dressed haed to toe in fur!

Marie: Coffee sure is a Sizzlin' time at Harley and Monique's house!

Ronnie: Love the staircases and the blue Italian Bedroom set from a few days ago...

Well got to run! DH just got home and wants to leave to go out for dinner. Hugs and waves to all posters and scrollers. Stay warm and have a great weekend!

Anne

Good Afternoon, BBB! :)

Marie-CYE...LMAO

This is such a Fun Theme!! :)

I have been very lucky at finding some wonderful things at yard sales around here...Many of you who have been around awhile remember my #3 find:

$5 for the whole box..she was covered in filth, wearing a nasty washcloth thing, and the house WAS SO CREEPY...LOL It looked like something out of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"...lol

After I cleaned her Up:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/StacyinKs/Vintage%20Barbie/3all.jpg




These girls were in my "box of bubblecuts, a Stacey, some Francies and some clothes-I think I paid $10 for the whole box:


really old pics...lol









And this was another lucky find that I only paid a couple of dollars for:

Marigene, awesome! LOL how could i ever learn to identify the # body different from # head...

this was another big thrill..I was taking my DD somewhere and as we passed a small junk shop I said "I have to check this one"I ran in and there was this color magic with her arms outstreched in the top of a box of newer barbies.I asked the man how much and he gave his usual answer...50 cents..I ran out to the car clutching my prize.,rolled up the window and screamed with delight..DD said WHAT?I showed her a 50 cent color magic..she reached into her purse handed me 50 cents and said happy birthday!

Hello to all!
Anita, me thinks I'm just in time peeking in LOL
hopefully you aren't gone in the between -

here is the late twofer with BBB = Babs' Big Bertha ;0)

and to speak about this BIG B short dress: I know it, but I don't know it's name... and I don't know it since long: it's on my watch list in a little lot. Did never see it before and now at your pic.

I'm pretty sure that Fab Lu did more outfits - and not only for Babs and Randy (BTW I remember that Randy in the UK had to change the name into Mary Lou - I don't know if Mary Lou is exact like Randy or mor like Pepper (the sister of Tammy) - Chad Valley did sell Babs/MaryLou/Bill in the UK for Fab-Lu

(the two Skipper size coats I posted are with the same British Crown Colony label BTW as are the Babs outfits, but they won't fit a doll body like Tammy/Randy)

The clone collecting is a never ending search for more information.

I do also have the Creme Puff with different labels.
And the Femme Fatale also...

Did you also know that there was a proceeding Ideal Toy Corporation versus Fab-Lu because of copying Tammy? on 1964
Ideal Toy said, Randy/Mary Lou, is like Tammy and Pepper -
to my knowlede (translation skills LOL) it seems as the court did not forbid it...

the doll world is a hard job for companies

okay back to today:
one day we know to whom this B-shorty belongs


this red coat is also with the well known British and so on label - and it's not in the catalogue

and the red Creme Puff is only Hong Kong label..

TMI for all our Barbie lovers ;0) LOL
Barbie first - Babs next ;0)

RANDI this is such a cuuuute Skipper room - I agree, it's always not easy to decide WHICH wall paper, when there are so many...
Love the frames you bought for KEN - and his bed too - those early Mattel furniture is so showing the time.

DORA is risking an eye - she is as cuuuute as Skipper's room - and much better: she is alive/lively though she's taking a nap ;0)


MARIE your closet needs a smoke control LOL

JACKIE is the fairy carriage ice or glass? It looks like glass...funny gif too

MARIGENE you really know best buddies in your club! Skipper and Barbie in matching outfits is a very pretty togetherness.

Found this paper for Skipper's room. I think i am going to use this one. I really like it! The 'paneling' was too blah. At least i think i've found one paper i will stick with!

Marie, sorry i couldn't participate yesterday. Just another crazy day here!

Kate, i hope you are feeling better~! OY on the migraine from hell. I am so sorry!! {{{HUG}}} Yup, the skipper clone i posted IS the one with the obscene neck knob! You remembered!! LOL! That neck knob...well...there are no words...

Ronnie, did you make the furniture in Feb-03-10 at 20:44:05 PST ? it is gorgeous!!! Thanks for the tip on Hall's lifetime furniture!

Those spiral staircases you and Jackie have are fab!!

Ok, gonna scoot. i want to try to fit a haircut in today. Will try to peek in later....have a good afternoon all!

Another retro paper i found. I don't really love this one...and the frames don't go well with it either. ACK!!

Is anyone watching Nip/Tuck this year? Its the last season (no loss there)...last night they used a couple of clips from the first season...and i was once again reminded why i had such a huge crush on Christian. OMG that man was so frakken gorgeous! He still is, but he's put on quite a bit of weight AND has lost some hair...but i still wouldn't kick him out...

I'm in classic ADD mode today. I'm jumping from one thing to another and not finishing up anything. However, i am so excited, i finally got a Mattel Modern Furniture Bed! and it is in such amazing condition!! I am so psyched!! I am planning on doing a Ken's apt (even tho we all know the bed is too short for barbie and ken)..i just had to have it. Not sure if i am going to use my half a case for Ken's apt,.. gonna have to play around with things a bit before i make up my mind.

I went to the craft stores the other day and got some different papers to try as wallpaper. Not sure if i like any of them....except i found these awesome frames that would go so beautifully with this paper. GAH! What to do? What to do??

Yeah,i know, all my problems should be this bad!

Hi. getting ready to go to my treatment.
Hi Brenda... are you ready for the next installment of 14-20 inches of snow!! Predicted to come tomorrow afternoon so I will need to go to the grocery store today.
Our kids have had Mon, Tues and Wed off school from the last storm and went back today on a 2 hour delay. Hopefully they can go tomorrow, but next Monday is looking doubtful!
YIKES! they will be in school way into June if this keeps up.

Marie- did you say coffee?

Having my second cup of Caribou coffee.
Darn, I remembered Dunkin' Donuts but was clueless on Harley. Wasn't around to play. Meant to be here chatting and posting Tuesday but DH went on a last minute business trip and my schedule went awry

Good Morning!!
I'm having a fantastic cup of coffee!

RONNIE! Thanks bunches!! Oh yes, Harley and his gang have been smoking for quite some time; ever since I introduced him and his friends almost 2 years. Smoking, drinking, and partying; that's what Harley and his gang is all about!!!
And Allison Pinkerton of the Pinkerton family has been smoking for well over a year! She's making a conscious effort to cut back though.
Oh, and Cliff (2 shelves down from Harley) smokes too; has been for over 2 years.
Let's just say it gets pretty smokey in my closet! LOL!
I totally LOVE your sofa set. What a fab job you did recovering it. Goes so well with the blue print paper.
And I'm loving that white coat!!! The stairs look great EVERYWHERE!!





BRENDA!!



Way to go girl!! I will be sending you a Starbuck's gift certificate.





and to all of those that played I will be sending a small prize!
I already have these addresses: RONNIE, BRENDA, CYNTHIA, JACKIE, and KATE (hope you're better today!!)

I need yours,
DARLENE (?) is that you mydolls



It was fun!

MARIE, wow, was i way off. :) but how fun. I love your #10 series. your room is out of this world. like i could crawl right into it and feel at home. especially with all the booze. LOL.... He smokes too? LOL
NANCY, the dinning set is a Sindy set. they come up quite often and alot of times not to expensive. i painted the little handles and such gold so it looks more realistic.
BRENDA, you diorams, dolls and those rooms!!! tell such detail stories. they speak for themselves. how fun. so much detail. Love him roasting his mellow is the fireplace, that is so cute. Just like a guy, hah?
KATE, so sorry to hear about your migraine. sometimes that is what it takes is just to find someplace dark and quiet for a day. hope you feel better soon.
Was just up playing with my new stairs. LOL...
Night everyone.

HARLEY’S HOT COFFEE

The Coffee Mini Series #10

After a night of hard partying . . .




Harley and Monique (Harley’s newest girlfriend!) enjoy their morning coffee.




Is your coffee this hot??!!


Marie!!

Hi!

I was just chatting with a lady who bought a sofa set from me.
She sent a pic of the set in her Barbie room. It looks so fab!
Her room is really really neat! I'm so glad she can enjoy it!
I invited her to post her pic here sometime and say hello!


We have ONE winner for question #1!!!

I'll post the winner tomorrow AM when I'm having my early morning coffee!!

NO winners for question #2.
My favorite coffee is Dunkin' Donuts. I was always looking for the donuts in the coffee.

1. My NEXT story will be about hot coffee. Who is in my next story?
Your clue lies within the question!!


The clue was the word HOT. The person in my next story must be hot because he never has a girlfriend for more than 2 stories; he's even had 2 girlfriends at once in one story.

Thanks for playing!

Hugs, Marie
