Mina has been asking for a Barbie doll lately and her mother has been resisting. Mina has many dolls already!<\/p>\n

Gramma has a box of Barbies at her house. They are mostly dolls I bought very cheaply at Value Village back in the days when I was running a community centre. One evening, while on FaceTime I showed them to Mina. Of course, she wants them!<\/p>\n

In order to stay as close as possible to her mother’s good side, I decided to give one doll to Mina, Skipper – this doll was her favourite when I showed them to her. Her Uncle Simon and Auntie Chrissie will be carrying it to California for her birthday.\"skipper\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did a little research online and found that this model was created in 1967. She is in pretty good shape for such an old girl, wouldn’t you say?<\/p>\n

Another special doll in my box is the one I bought myself. My parents didn’t have money for buying toys so I saved hard and finally had the $3.50 or so that she cost back in about 1967 or 8. I believe she is a “vintage standard” model – http:\/\/www.fashion-doll-guide.com\/Vintage-Standard-Barbie-Doll.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is Barbie wearing the crocheted dress I made for her a number of years ago:<\/p>\n
