Two More New Dolls
Christmas and my birthday are a little over a month apart, so I tend to get quite a few dolls in December and January. I really am trying to cut down on the dolls coming in but I did want an articulated Ken to go with the MTM ladies and well, the other doll was just too cute to pass up.

Happy New Year....Continuing the Collection Project
Hope everyone had happy and safe holidays!
I've had a little trouble getting back into the swing of things. Been just laying low after the hustle and bustle of the holidays. But I am finally ready to tackle the cataloging of the outfits again and to start working on some dioramas.
Last summer I made a great purchase of a Ken case loaded with clothes. Some were bits and pieces but others were almost complete outfits like this one, the pajamas are almost perfect! It even included the glass of milk and alarm clock, although it is missing its feet.

Barbie Collection Catalog - Vintage Clothing Continues
Sometimes when I am putting these outfits on the dolls I forget that they are well over 50yrs old. Most have held up very well, even having been played with, but you really need to be careful with items like tights, socks and gloves. I poked a tiny finger through one of the beautiful long black gloves, it doesn't show BUT I know it's there!
I think the Barbie paks were the greatest thing since sliced bread. I wish I had more of them, the mixing and matching would be such fun! The Knit paks consisted of 6 different clothing types: top, long full skirt, pants, dress, top and short set and a slim skirt. Colors offered were gold, royal blue and multi striped. There was also an accessory pak with a straw hat, purse and shoes. These are the only items I have from these paks.
