So I pulled out my vintage Fold-up Country house and decided to finally have a photo session of re-dressing my mod dolls (and my modern dolls too!) in time for Valentine's day. It has been a long time since I did any new photos. I have wanted to re-dress the dolls and go through them and I have a whole box of vintage clothing , some Mattel, some clone clothing, that I have wanted to re-dress the dolls in, that I got last year in a huge auction lot.
These are the kitchen photos. I love using my collection of cats and dogs in my scenes, it makes it more realistic. I pulled out my Liddle Kiddle too, I have begun to re-collect these tiny dolls as they were my favorites as a child. Barbie has invited her mom, Mrs. Roberts and her kid sister Skipper and her friends Fluff and friends over along with her new friend, Poppy Parker and her fiance, Bryan.
I purchased this house about two years ago off of eBay as a present to myself to replace my own house, which I still have, but is damaged. I wanted one with all the furniture that wasn't damaged and intact. Mine has a cracked bed and broken table and the roof is cracked.
Sweet 16 Barbie was also a gift to myself for my 54th birthday , I found her on Rubylane.com with a shop called Forty-Fifty-Sixty and they specialize in dolls, mostly vintage especially Barbie. She came with everything- the tank top, jean shorts, the pink dress, pumps, and the makeup set just like my original childhood doll did. And she was packaged well. All for a reasonable price. Many antique and vintage shops on Ruby Lane and they are on youTube as well with videos as well as Facebook.
Here are Bryan, Poppy's boyfriend peeping into the kitchen hoping to have a word with Poppy as he has been left to socialize with strange people in the living room while Poppy gossips with Barbie and Mrs. Roberts in the kitchen. Francie and Joe have just arrived to visit with Ken and Becky in the living room, much to the chagrin of the startled cat in front of the fireplace.
GI Joe is a reproduction Joe I got off the GI Joe site , lucky to have him. He is wearing a vintage Ken top and jeans . Francie is wearing a complete Francie outfit and the doll and outfit and boots came in that entire auction lot! I have this outfit on her because I love it and the only thing wrong with the doll was one of her feet has bite marks on it, missing her toe, but her face is so pretty. I love her. The Ken sitting there also came dressed in this lot too- he is not my childhood Malibu Ken. Becky is wearing a vintage Francie wedding dress from this vintage lot too.
Next up is the bedroom where Marie Osmond has come by to visit while doing a benefit Valentine's day concert while in town and is staying with Barbie. Fluff has come to the bedroom to retrieve her teddy bear and Marie is resting with her pugdog.
Hope you enjoy the photos. I am going to try and set up the cardboard dreamhouse and get the vintage dolls in that house for Valentine's day too.

Well everyone was certainly having fun. I love the tea party scene. I am always up for a tea party with dolls or with friends.
What a fun photo session! I love that vintage playset and hope to get some as well, some day. I just love that colorful 70s vibe. :) All the dolls look great and it must've been really fun to bring them all out and "play".

This is how my friend Wesley Virgin's tale starts with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.
THESE are the exact same SECRETS lots of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.
Mostly, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNTAPPED.
Maybe this expression has even occurred IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years back, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and $3 in his pocket.
"I'm very fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"
You've taken part in those types of questions, ain't it so?
Your success story is waiting to be written. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
