One morning Mom came home from garage saling with a wonderful surprise for me.
This beautiful Barbie Gift Set. She originally came out in 1996. I love how they featured her full name on the box.
I found this deck of playing cards at Wal Mart today!
It's a really cute set and it was only $2.88!
As part of the celebration for Barbie's 50th birthday, a designer named Jonathan Adler designed this Barbie house.
Those corset backed chairs are so beautiful!!
I love the floor in this room!!!!!
I also found this really neat video showcasing Barbie through the last 50 years! I hope you enjoy!
Oh, that pink-a-licious room is DEEvine!!! Loving the chairs with the little tulle bussels on the back! Fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous house!

Good morning, Lindsey! I never KNEW Barbie had a full name! Well, now I know!
ReplyDeleteThe video was great! Love the A-frame in the 70s. Perfect!
Have a great day, sweet friend! ♥
I am enjoying your posts and love seeing your latest treasures! What fun you are having with this wonderful collection! Love the video! Thanks and have a happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsey, I hope you will vist a Barbie Wednesday post in your honor on my blog today. A sweet lady sent me two books. If you don't have them, they are yours. The white "novel" is such a treasure. I read it in an hour, couldn't put it down. It was so much fun! The other book has crayon on the fron flaps, but incredible graphics such as the one at the bottom of the post that would make great tags! Let me know! Elizabeth PS You have inspired me to make some scrapbook pages. Yours are just too wonderful for words!
ReplyDeleteLindsey,
