Gene Marshall and Trent- I Do..

These photos of Gene and Trent in wedding attire are from the archives--I used a wedding gown from a damaged porcelain doll and tried it on Stardust Gene and it created the effect I wanted. I have always wanted to do a wedding party for my Gene dolls, with a teen-age doll like a Marley Wentworth as a bridesmaid, and some Madame Alexander Wendy dolls as Flower Girls and a ring bearer. Once I get my doll room moved and my 1:4 scale dollhouse set up for my Gene and Tonner dolls, I may just stage a wedding party in the 1:4 scale mansion I am planning, complete with wedding in progress in the parlor, reception, food, kitchen staff, maids, etc. There will be alot of sewing and doll collecting to do! LOL. And food crafting! I have so much large scale Bespaq and I have always wanted a large scale dollhouse to display it all, but there is no room in my current dollroom. Hoping to change that in the upcoming year or so. 

Enjoy the photos, more to come in the month of June, celebrating brides. 
 

Barbie and Ken Reproduction Wedding Set

This is one of my favorite repro sets that I have of Barbie and Ken in the wedding gown and tuxedo- my aunt had this wedding gown and I loved playing with it when I was small. I picked my set up over ten years ago? , I can't remember, now, in Tuesday Morning, of course, for about $28 dollars. I really miss that store.

These are all images from my archives, of Poppy Parker wearing a repro Barbie wedding gown. I am working on more wedding photos soon. Enjoy!

 

Weddings- Celebrating our Anniversary and Barbie's Birthday...

Today is Barbie's Birthday- and my husband and I's anniversary...we have been married for 22 fabulous years. So I thought I would share some wonderful photos of my two favorite things-- dolls and my best friend and partner in crime. 

 

Madame Alexander #1570 Vintage Bride...

Since this IS a blog called The One Sixth Scale Dollhouse, I have somewhat pushed the limits on posting dolls here that measure 16, 18, and over the top in other scales. But I wanted to share brides this month and I thought a large variety of scales would be pleasing to all collectors. And who doesn't find Madame Alexander dolls sweet?

I love Madame Alexander dolls. They were the 'first' dolls I was taught to 'keep nice' and put on my shelf in my room and 'collect' as a little girl. It was a HUGE treat to go to the dime store with my mother as a little girl and pay the extravagant price of $7 or $8.50 for a Wendy doll back in 1970-something when I was six or seven years old. And they had bent knees!! They came in the most beautiful boxes, blue, with a lid and pink tissue paper. You felt like it was a special occasion and this beautiful doll was looking up at you . I only got them on special occasions, Christmas, birthdays, holidays,- I remember getting Spain on Valentine's day and the blue ballerina on my birthday. I still have them to this day. I remember getting Scarlett O'Hara after watching the movie for Easter- in my Easter basket one year! This particular bride is similar to one I had that my aunt purchased for me when I was a tad older- about 7 or 8 years old and it came in a huge box under the Christmas tree. I still have the original doll but I think her dress got damaged. This doll is similar but her hair is more red/auburn. 

 

More Brides for June....

 I have more brides (and grooms) for June...from the archives. This is the reproduction set of Barbie and Ken from Mattel. I adore this set. I remember playing with the vintage set of my aunt's when I was 5 or 6 years old. Enjoy!
