That Poinsettia dress is so gorgeous!

 

Happy Holidays Barbie 2017

Happy Holidays Barbie 2017 arrived yesterday and I have a story about this doll. I preiously owned several versions of her- as I purchased her in late December 2017 or early January 2018 when she went on sale for $9.00! and I had all the ethnic versions- caucasion, AA, and Hispanic. At the time, I did not collect Holiday Barbies and was not on a quest to collect all of the Christmas dolls like I am now. I was an ebay seller-(and still am, but not as serious about it as I was then.) This seemed like a great oppurtunity to snap up some dolls cheap to stock my store or do some trades in the future. I would say I purchased four or five of them at the time, eventually selling them all. Now I wish I had kept at least one. lol. 

So here she is, another great deal on Mercari. She came with her ornament star but did not come with her stand. 

 

Happy Holidays Barbie 2022

I have some new dolls arriving- and this one I ordered a couple of weeks ago and just arrived yesterday. Actually, the seller on Mercari marked it shipped and did not drop it off until a week later, giving false information about shipping it. I think they wanted me to cancel the order but I wasn't going to, as they had sent out a really great deal- I got Happy Holidays Barbie 2022 mint in the box with some scuff marks on the box or dents, for $18.37 plus shipping which came out to about $26 when it was all said and done- less than the original cost of the doll at $39.99! So I was willing to be patient and she finally dropped it off a week later. Here she is in that beautiful poinsettia dress. 

Here she is in the box-

More photos of her by the tree-

I remember watching YouTube videos of influencers who purchased this doll in 2022 and raed about her dress. I am really sorry now I did not get her. She is really stunning. 

I did some dark evening Christmas light scenes with Happy Holidays Barbie 2011, my last recent purchase. I am making headway on my Barbie collection purchases and should be able to close the collection down. I was really pleased with this last photo. Today I have 2017 Happy Holidays Barbie coming, so I will do a blog post on her when I receive her delivery. Enjoy!
