Two Crazy Crafters

Hello to all our friends. Since the weather in our area hs been nothing but dark and dreary I thought I would share a few photos of vintage Barbie's that I hope some day to add to my collection.


Of course every Barbie collector needs a ponytail Barbie in her original black & white bathing suit. I am ashamed to say I have not yet been lucky enough to acquire one. Someday, someday.

This is one of the most rare & collectible Barbie's. Her name is Color Magic Barbie. She came out in 1966 and depending on which one you bought her hair would change color.

Since I am a brunette I wanted to have a brunette Skipper. I have three Skippers but all of them are blonde's although one of them I bought was supposed to be a brunette when I bought her but arrived a blonde.

This was Barbie's first car. An Austin Healy! It came out in 1960.

Barbie had a British pal and her name was Stacey. She was introduced in 1968 but didn't last long. With my love for The Beatles I have always had a love for anything British. So she is a must have for my collection some day.

I love the vintage cases & houses! They take up so much room but I just can't resist one if I find it! I see cases every now & then but I don't see the houses. This is one that I have pined for for many years now but they always go higher on ebay than I can do. Shipping is a killer when you get these on ebay!

I hope that by sharing what I know about these and other vintage Barbie's & friend's I have helped at least one person to identify what they may have.

I had a wonderful Birthday Friday! The theme for the party was Hello Kitty!



It was a beautiful pink party! Mom made crepe paper flower that hung from the ceiling fan and on the wall.

I had a fun night and I loved all my presents.

Here's one of my gift's from Mom. Because I'm left handed and she's right, She was never able to teach me to crochet. I can knit though. This is book that teaches lefties to crochet.

I saw this beautiful princess figurine as we were leaving a flea market so Mom went back the next day and got it for me.

These beautiful Hello Kitty ornaments will look perfect on my pink Christmas tree!



This was my big gift. My friend Susan and I were at Coach outlet store back in July when we went to Nashville together and I saw this beautiful Coach pattern. I loved it but didn't buy anything but before we left Susan bought me the wristlet and told me to forget I saw it until my Birthday. Imagine my surprise when I started opening up the Coach boxes and finding this beautiful collection!

I love the bottom of these shoes! Such cute attention to details!

This cute little crown was hanging above my party table.

I love these cute little pictures!

Aren't these ornaments neat! I love how the little one dangles from the bottom.


Such a sweet little pair of panda bears!



This pretty figurine is for the month of November.



Jordan gave me this beautiful blue poodle! The next day at a flea market I found the matching pink ones!

I hope you enjoyed seeing my goodies from my Birthday!
