New Hallmark Ornaments!

I did some shopping at my favorite store, Oddball's Collectibles and Claire's Antiques store this weekend as they have a whole booth on some Hallmark ornaments they received in and I was hoping to stock up on my Barbie Hallmark ornament collection for my Barbie Christmas tree. I got four ornaments and might go back, but I have to go through what I already have. These are the four I got.

I got two bride sets, one single bride and a Barbie and Ken bridal set, a barbie doll of the world, and the blue Christmas one.

They had a ton of ornaments, but not all of them were Barbie, I had to hunt through the bins on the tables and they had the booth lined with shelves of ornaments and even down to the floor. Best I can figure is they purchased someone's old store stock as these boxes had never been opened and there were multiples of each one. They had Disney, star wars, star trek, movie themed, character themed, etc. I picked the ones that I were hard to find on Ebay, as there were several there that were high and were common to find on Ebay in lots. I averaged about $10-15 apiece, which is fair since they were from 1997- 1998 and they are new in the box. Hoping to add more as I am planning on having a tabletop Pink tree this year! for what I already own! My goal is to eventually have a 7ft tall pink tree with nothing but hallmark Barbie ornaments year round in my doll room. Enjoy!

 

Happy Holidays 2021 Barbie

I have been late with blogging photos of this doll- I have had her for about a week now and she is prettier than I thought she would be, but I have been overwhelmed a bit and have not had time to take some pics of her. Here is Happy Holidays 2021 Barbie. Like the later dolls, she is very playline - her bodice is molded plastic. She did come with a stand. The facemold is extremely playline, and the dress is cheaply made. Makes you wonder why Mattel even bothered. The 'grocery' store dolls from the 1990's in the cute sweaters were a higher quality than this doll in a cheap evening gown. sad. 

 

                                                                           

                                                                                    

                                                                           

Soda Shop Diorama

I took some updated photos of the Our Generation Diner/ Soda Shop with the new dolls I bought from Karon on Saturday at the Richmond Doll, Toy and Bear Show. I still have to de-box the two Poppy Parker dolls that will look really great in it too. I can't believe I found Coca-Cola Soda Found Barbie and Coca-Cola Cheerleader Barbie as well as Barbie Loves Elvis! They are so great! 

 

Richmond Doll, Toy & Teddy Bear Show September 20, 2025

 The Richmond Doll, Toy and Teddy Bear show was in Mechanicsville Va today and I attended. It had originally been scheduled at the Moose lodge in Mechanicsville, but was moved back at the last minute to its original location at the American Legion on Bell Creek Road where it was at last year. I attended and lots of good dealers, and lots of my doll club members from both doll clubs as dealers and attendees, were there.  I did not take pictures this year as it was too tightly packed and some dealers do not want you taking photos and there was alot of socializing, so I just didn't do it this year. I just really wanted to shop and not worry about my phone. But I did buy! 

                      I purchased five dolls from three different dealers- two of them my friends! I have to say i was looking for all of the dolls at one point of another. 

                                                   

                      Let's start with the Silkstone Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds Barbie Nude doll. I purchased her from two ladies who are dealers mother/daughter team for $70, not a bad price. I have been wanting this doll for a long time now. She was in fairly good condition. My most expensive doll of the day that I bought. 

Vintage 1965 Blonde haired Scooter with her original swimsuit. I purchased her from my friend Debbie who is president of the Va. Fashion doll club for $35 and I have always wanted wanted a blonde. I have a red head- now I will need a black haired one. She is so adorable with those brown eyes. Debbie had put a plastic band around her ponytails to keep them in place. I really really love her. 

From my friend Karon I purchased these dolls in baggies in her dollies bin for $15 apiece! What was funny is I had been looking for these for a while. The more I searched through her bin- the most I found. These dolls I had wanted for a while to stage in my Our Generation diner with my Poppy Parker Sugar and Spice and my Mystery Date Bowling Dolls. They have that 1950's era look. The Barbie Loves Elvis is just missing her shoes, which I can find some shoes for her.
