New Barbie Christmas Ornaments have arrived-

I have a lot of Barbie Springtime Hallmark Christmas ornaments that I ordered from Poshmark that arrived yesterday- as well as the Happy Holidays 2025 Barbie ornament I purchased yesterday from Walmart, and I can't wait to show them to you! The pink tree is on its way and should arrive by this Friday. 

 Here they are in a grouping. I like to keep an organized list to know what I have so I don't re-purchase duplicates. 

I purchased this ornament from Walmart for $10.98 it is the current Happy Holidays 2025 Barbie ornament, labeled Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments,

The one at 2025 Hallmark Holiday Barbie Ornament Hallmark is at a cost of $30.99 !! I just could not see paying that from the Hallmark store. Some of their Barbie ornaments run as much as $56, OR $60+ dollars! 

Next up is the lot of the ornaments starting with 1996 Little Bo Peep Barbie

#2 Children's Collector's series

1997 Springtime Collection Hallmark series

#3 Springtime Barbie

1996 Springtime Barbie 

#2 Springtime Barbie

1997 Spring Collection #1 Barbie as Rapunzel ornament

I hope you have enjoyed them, and will look for these for your own Barbie themed Christmas tree this year. They are easy enough to obtain at an affordable cost. 

Enjoy, more to come as we decorate like Barbie girls this Christmas!

Take a Little Trip to Walmart- My Life Elf dolls and Wizard of Oz dolls

Even though this blog is mainly a blog for 11-12 inch fashion dolls, I sometimes cannot resist the big dolls or large ladies. Perhaps it is a leftover childhood desire, or something that is appealing about the American Girls, Our Generation and their copycat cohort, My Life from Walmart. I was in Walmart today looking at the different Christmas seasonal items and decided to look at the dolls and toys, as I always do, and My Life has stepped up their game. They already have their adorable line of Harry Potter sets and props and dolls , but now they have come out with the Wizard of Oz dolls as well. These dolls run 39.99 to 49.99 , depending on the doll. My Walmart did not have the complete set, they only had Glinda the Good Witch , and Dorothy in African-American and Caucasian. They are simply adorable. 

                          This shows the whole set on the back of the box. I think Dorothy was running 39.99 and Glinda was 49.99 They also had a costume so your child could dress up like Dorothy, and a miniature set of dolls, as well as the Ruby Red slippers set. 

Glinda was especially well done and a lovely doll, I thought. The box art graphics were done nice as well. The other set available were the Elf dolls after the Will  Ferrell movie, "Elf" and they were also adorable. I can imagine a little girl getting this doll. Again, these were also a little more-? 49.99 

Some of the My Life items such as the Pizza Oven, The Harry Potter greenhouse, the candy/ bakery carts, these items work well with Tonner and Gene Marshall and Franklin Mint 16 inch dolls, for dioramas. Especially if you are in a pinch budget wise and cannot afford the over the top expensive American Girl props. My Life as well as Our Generation (found at Target) keep the price tag where you can afford it for our 16 inch ladies!

 

2 New Barbie Hallmark Ornaments have arrived!

I have had two more Hallmark Barbie ornaments arrive, they are quite nice.

I found both of these on Mercari, at reasonable prices. Once is 2012 Celebration Happy Holidays Barbie. I was not too pleased at how it was shipped in a green bean flimsy container wrapped in tyvek envelopes , flimsy food boxes I really have a problem when sellers ship nice collectibles in them. Luckily , it came through ok. I went ahead and left them four stars (which they were not happy with and let me know- saying "I wasn't nice" and I rated them as soon I got it, saying thank you, ) however the seller told me Karma would - 'get me' . I wish my buyers would rate me that quickly when I used clean boxes. 

 The next ornament was 2015 Hallmark Shopping Barbie. This seller sent in a double wrapped bubble mailer, no problems with that, clean, wrapped well shipped promptly. 

I will have more photos coming soon of more ornaments as I am planning a pink tabletop Barbie tree this year, so stay tuned!

VA Fashion Doll Club Meeting October 12, 2025

The VA. Fashion Doll club had their October meeting on Sunday, October 12th, 2025, yesterday and it was held at our member Jodie's home. Jodie always goes all out for Halloween, which is fun. This year our presentation was to do a display for Halloween/ Trick or Treat from your childhood. We also brought our pink pumpkin buckets to exchange candy treats. 

Scarlett's display

Allison's display

Debbie's display

Linda's display

Janice's display

                                                               

Jodie's display

My display

                                                                 Linda's display

I made a French tourtierre (beef/ pork pie) for refreshments at the club meeting served with dijon & regular mustard, and ketchup conditments

These were our refreshments/ for lunch, we had a very wide assortment. 

Below are some of the decorations throughout Jodie's home-

   

The presentation given was on Pedigree Sindy dolls, the fashion doll of the United Kingdom. Jody has a HUGE collection!

Jodie's collection was impressive on Sindy, and she had set up two collapsible shelf units in her living room alongside a table to house all of the dolls and the accessories she had collected over a ten year period. Most of us collect Tammy , the USA equivalent of Sindy. But we agreed that Sindy was a must have for a fashion doll vintage collector- especially the fabulous furniture! 

Now- onto the breath taking part- Jodie's doll room! 

Jodie's room is small but it contains a small bed in an aclove, as well as a large comfy chair in the middle of the room . Her desk is against the wall and shelves enclosed with doors have rows and rows of vintage dolls on stands in different vintage outfits. More dolls are in clear boxes from Collectible Warehouse that she sticks to the wall with velcro as you can see with the Kens in the different mod outfits! and as well, her collection of foldable houses and playsets. I adore her Barbie Hallmark ornament Christmas tree, so adorable. She truly has used every spare access of space and it is amazing, up to the dolls on ski lift seats suspended from the ceiling, with their skis in vintage and mod outfits. 

I hope you enjoy the photos from this meeting! Lisa
