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!

 

Mini Brands Books Series 2

 I love Zuru Mini Brands - recently I purchased one of the Mini Brands Books- 

Series 2. These tiny books are adorable and come with different surprises- a teacup, or a cat, a magnifying glass or a lamp. The 2nd series seems to have more  a variety than the first one, and I am glad. My egg had Dracula, a Ronald Dahl book, and an Emma book with a Sherlock Holmes bookmark, and a white teacup and saucer. 

                    The books have actual tiny print/ writing in them. 

The books and accessories fit both 1:6 scale dolls like Barbie, Ken and Poppy Parker and Fashion Royalty dolls and Skipper. I have also shown my Madra W club 16 inch fashion doll so you can see the teacup is really sized to fit her too, along with the books, which look like small paperback books in her hands.
