He's A Doll!

It's been far too long a spell as I've neglected this poor ol' blog severely!  I wanted to share with you one of my recent finds and a fave collectible, vintage Barbie and Ken dolls.  I found this fella hanging out at the beach, Hahaha!  Although he is missing his original "Flip Flops", he's in otherwise wonderful vintage condition.  

He's the 1962, painted hair version.

Weather or Not?

Here I share with you some of my favorite examples of vintage "Yard Art" pieces.  From bicycles to birdbaths, this sampling lends to what could be.  The question is "Weather or Not" to leave it out to become that rusty, crusty yard art?

That Glam Gal!

Hello Dolly!

Yesterday while going through some boxes I found this book from 1969 titled "How To Successfully Start and Operate a Doll Hospital" and had to laugh!  I thought of how much fun I could have with this, who I could share it with?  

First, I had to find the two dolls I've had hanging around for years, dolls I could never discard as I knew they had a purpose, there was a reason I hung on for soooo long, the reason came in the form of this book.   

Second, I had to created a post.... Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook!  A post that would included a silly quote from the iconic TV show "Six Million Dollar Man".  A post only Oscar Goldman, Jamie Sommers, and the dude himself, Steve Austin could truly love (or so I think, lol).

And (I know one should never start a sentence with "and") who better to feature with the book than ole Stevie himself.  Broken and nearly abandoned, accompanied by an old "Battle Scarred" friend, "Headless" G.I. Joe Johnson.

"Doctor, we have the technology, we can rebuild them!"

It is now POSSIBLE!
