    What a cool find! I had Barbie, Midge, Ken, Skipper, Scooter and Ricky and some of these outfits. My grandma made me other outfits. Mine were well loved by me, my friends and sister and now by my granddaughters.

    I wonder if one could scan the booklet art and cut out all those cute barbie outfits for Barbie Journal decorations? Probably there are already stickers one could buy on Amazon or wherever. Love your channel LeNae!

    The oldest Barbie I have is a 1977 Superstar Barbie still in her box! I love the Superstar era. Don't care too much for Barbies before the late 70s and my wallet is thankful for that haha!

    Very nice those discoveries in linen closets are quite rare now. Perhaps it is fair to say you found the needle in the haystack.. if you are fond of them just keep them you will be glad you did...

    OMG! I had the brunette bubble cut! I got her for my 9th birthday in ‘62. I played with my Barbie til I was 13. I was broken hearted when my mom gave my Barbie to my niece. I had the blue and white striped dress with the straw hat. I saw it in your catalog. My mom made me and my sister each a beautiful turquoise satin dress with pearls on them.

    What an amazing discovery. We purchased the Wizard of Oz Barbie Collection for my daughter when she was around 5 or so. We put them away and they have never been opened. She's now 26. You should create a Barbie theme journal. It would be a huge seller at craft fairs this year for sure.

    I got my Barbie when my nieces were little so I would have a model for the clothes I made for their Barbies. I still have the patterns I got to make the clothes. Did a lot of hand sewing on them since they were too small to use the machine to sew anything but the major long seams. Had a lot of fun doing it, but my sisters-in-law thought I was nuts.

    Awww... These are sooooo, so cool! I would have lo ed to find them!! have a recent collection of 69 Barbie type dolls, which includes I think 2 Skippers, 1 MO'esha, and then a set of twin girls from a television show that I inherited a few years ago from a sister at church when her mom passed. Her mom also had 3 very nice, BEAUTIFUL & FULLY decorated doll houses, which I also inherited! Your treasures are beautiful!! And even with green ear, I'm sure are worth a wholllle lot more than $.97!😊 Tfs...

    Yes! I had the Barbie with the bubble cut. So much fun. Our daughters loved Barbies too. What I thought was co clever what they did was when a Barbie’s head would come off 😳🙄, they would use it as a mannequin in a store. And if Barbie lost an arm or leg they continued to play with her as a handicapped Barbie. They made wheelchairs, crutches and slings. I was proud of them for not only seeing worth in the toy but also translating that to worth of people with disabilities and incorporating them in their play. Thank you for sharing, brought bake many memories.

    I am looking to buy my Barbie from my childhood. I have my original Ken & Skipper from 1962. I just want my own memories restored. I’m not a collector but would really like to”My Barbie” back again with my Ken and skipper. She was the brunette Barbie bubble cut, 1962 and according to info I got it is around the 850 edition. I sure would like to purchase it from you if you still have her.
    Thank you. Bonnie Mitchell

      That's so funny. To this day, my sister swears that her Raven-haired bubble cut is named Midge. (It's not. Midge had a different face/often had freckles/didn't have a bubble cut.)

    After seeing some of the new Barbie movie, I'm so sad about her new image. They portrayed her as an icon for young girls to latch onto, while girls beat their baby dolls to death. Ken was portrayed as being a misogynist and men in general portrayed as being repressors of women who need put in their place. Sad the woke agenda has gone after Barbie!😢

    • @lenaecreates
      @lenaecreates  10 месяцев назад +2

      I saw the movie and where I can see that it might been seen that way the overall theme was girls can do anything. This was something that we weren’t always told. Barbie was iconic because she was an astronaut and a doctor. Our play helped teach us we could do it too. Ken is considered Barbie’s accessory because that’s what the Ken doll was for. Not men. Just Ken.
