Two Crazy Crafters

My first and true love in the world of vintage Barbie's are the house's and cases. When I was very little my Mom, my brother and I were garage saling as we always did in the summer and I got my first vintage barbie house.
See I've been a garage saler all my life! I wasn't even in school yet when we found this!

I LOVE this house. I had so many wonderful years of playing with it.
The one you see here is not my original. It's roof had been ripped off and taped back on with no furniture when we bought it.

This one I bought at a flea market a few years back with it's original furniture.

Barbie's Country Living Home came out in 1973. I love the bright bold colors and cute patterns!

The Skipper in the blue bathing suit is A New Living Skipper which came out in 1970.

I love the physchdelic feel to this home. Kinda of an odd mix! Country and physchdelic but it works somehow.

Back when I played with this house it had bright pink furniture in it!

Notice how oily Barbie's face looks? This is grease. Not sure what causes the problem but it is very common in the older Barbie's.

This is one of Mom's original Barbie's. She is a Twist N' Turn Barbie. Her face has discolored over the years and has a few spots of the dreaded Green disease!

I love that this physchdelic country home having western style doors! I would like to know who designed these!

I hope you enjoyed visiting me this Barbie Wednesday.
