Barbie Wednesday

Hello friends! I am excited to share with you some of my favorites from Mattel's Fall line preview!



I think Mattel has out done themselves this year and I am excited to add these lovelies to my collection!
The new American Girl reproduction gift set is a must have for both my Mom and I as the American Girl was Mom's first doll, and a favorite doll for me!



Also the beautiful Fashion Queen Barbie was one of the first vintage dolls that I added to my collection and I am super excited to add this reproduction doll to my collection too!


I squeeled in delight when I saw these next 3 dolls!Vintage styled Wizard Of Oz dolls!!!!


The changes that Mattel has made to these Wizard Of Oz dolls makes them a must have in my collection!!


The Wicked Witch is my favorite!!!!! I think she is so inspiring!!! WOW! I love the lace boots!!!

And of course if any of you are as big a Johnny Depp fans as we are then you know how fun this doll will be to have! The upcoming movie sounds exciting and we can't wait to see Johnny again!!!


I hope you are having a wonderful week, Lindsey

  8. Hi Ladies,

    This post makes me miss the set of Wizard of Oz barbies that I had. I had the original set when they first came out, what was it 15 years ago? I had to sell them when my husband got laid off. I have 4 barbies tucked away in a box under my bed, that I occasionally pull out and play with. You never really outgrow barbie!

    Hugs,
    Meri

  21. Oh I'm so excited! These types of Barbies are really hard to get here (and super expensive if you can!)
    My lovely Boyfriend is taking me to Vegas for my birthday so I will be able to hunt these beauties down!

  22. Aaahhhh these new repros just look great! Saturday matinee has always been one of my favorite outfits, but I never had it! The american girl looks great too! I have a lot of fashion queens in my collection, as it was always one of the cheap dolls over here and you can do so much with them. I especially loved them with the magic wigs. Mmm your post just tickles me: I might check my collection (now in the attic) one of these days! If I do, I'll let you know AND I will make photos for my blog!

  24. You sure do know how to bring back the memories of the barbies that we bought our daughter when she was growing up. She had a wide variety of dolls from the tiny to the Cabbage Patch which my sister made for her a long time ago. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

  36. Hi Lindsey:
    I had the original Fashion Queen Barbie with her wigs. I spent last Sunday with my cousin, Sheree (I blogged about it), and we sat and reminisced about the hours we spent playing with our Barbies (we had ALL of them, in triplicate between the two of us, my sister and hers!) I only wished we'd saved them all! We'd be rich women in more than memories!
    Thanks for the little walk down Memory Lane (again).
    xoxo
