I put this doll on my wishlist as soon as I started my collection back in 2018. I love her color scheme and puffy skirt. Her face mold is typical of the 90s Barbies and she’s got a very particular, adorable hair style.
1999 Pretty Flower Barbie (Ginger) – flea market finds 7
Restoring this doll has been a bit of a challenge! When I got her at the flea market she had blue stains all over her face and body, and the color of her mouth had come off. Her hair had been cut terribly and I had to restyle it. Repainting her lips has been also…
1990 Barbie on the go
I purchased this doll in her box, which was covered in mud and dust and completely destroyed, from a vintage toy stand at Lucca Comics and Games. Despite the awful condition of her box, Barbie just needed to be washed to go back to her original beauty. I adore her long, soft hair with the…
1988 Superstar Barbie – flea market finds 6
I remember having a 1988 Superstar Barbie when I was very very little. It was one of the dolls some older kid from the neighborhood gave to my sister once they stopped playing with them. The doll must have broke pretty soon because I can’t remember ever playing with her, but I remember still having…
1998 Florida vacation Barbie and Skipper
I got these two dolls as birthday presents in 1998 or 1999, from two different schoolmates. I really like the new look Skipper got at the end of the 90s. Her hair is super soft and beautiful. Barbie also has a bit of a new look, which I really like. I think she’s gorgerous with…
1988 Superstar Barbie
When I started my new doll collection in 2018, I immediately put this doll in my wishlist. I love how 80s she looks and I adore the star-theme going on with this doll. I got her new in box on eBay for approximately 60 euro, which I think is a good price for this doll!
80s Barbie – flea market finds 5
Another flea market doll that I restored! Her hair is not as soft as it used to be and when I bought her I had all the intention to reroot her hair. In the end I left her with her original hair – I really like how long it is! I dressed her in the…
1989 Skipper Dream Date
I really like the late 80s – early 90s face mold used for Skipper! This doll is really cute and over-the-top. I got her at a vintage toy stand at Lucca Comics and Games 2019, and her box was covered in mud and dust. I had to throw it away as soon as I got…
1998 Happy Birthday Barbie – flea market finds 4
If you have been following my blog, you might know that I own a 1998 Happy Birthday Barbie doll in perfect condition. I am quite attached to this doll so when I saw another one at the market, in awful condition, I had to buy her again to fix her! Her hair was very tangled…
1986 Dee Dee Rockstar
I adored this doll as a child, and I played a lot with her. Like most of my favorite childhood dolls, I had cut her hair in the same horrible hairstyle I used to have at the time. I regret so much ruining her beautiful hair, and maybe this is also why I repurchased her…
