Friday morning after a week long visit.
We had such a great time together.
Sharing my favorite childhood Barbie dolls with my
Brenna and Buffy(with Mrs. Beasley at bottom right corner of photo)
Shaela’s little hands dressing a doll
Playing with Barbie, Francie, Casey, Skipper, Tutti and friends.
This is my dear mom in a photo taken this Easter.
Remember I told you what a perfectionist she was at sewing?
Well, take a look at some of her knitted work.
I am amazed at the tiny detail in each dress and accessory.
I don’t think she even used a pattern.

This incredible suitcase and shoulder bag both open
and the suitcase has compartments.

Outfits for my Tammy and Pepper dolls.
All dolled up!(ha! My feeble attempt at a pun)
Beautiful dolls and handmade dresses made by my mom played with by me as a child and my daughters and now my granddaughters.

What a lovely place to visit. Love the dolls and beautiful outfits. Your granddaughters are lucky to be able to play with grandma's dolls. Truly amazing.
OMG!!! I wish I would have saved my barbies. What a great treasure of memories you are sharing.

What fun Barbies!!! Your collection is incredible. I am a new follower and will be back soon. Hope you have a chance to come say hello.
Cheers,

Oh my heavens, what darling girls! Your mom was truly a master with her hands! Those outfits she made are just incredible!
WOW! Your mom made all of those?? The wardrobes are so beautiful. I can't believe the details in the design. Your grandkids are so lucky to have their treasures to play with.
Hi Lorraine, Your granddaughters are just beautiful and I love seeing your childhood dolls and the meticulous clothes you Mom made for them. What a treasure to have. I'm taking a little break from blogging but you can email me at oldmissy@hotmail.com. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Love this post! How great that you kept those treasured toys and your granddaughters can play with them now.
I love the hand designed clothes! My favorite Barbie clothes were definitely the one's my mom and grandmother made for me.
There were a few that were my favorites. One was a satin red ball gown with little white stars all over the skirt and the other a crocheted lacy dress. I gave all those things to my niece. I kind of wish I had kept some of them now.
You must have been the envy of every girl in town with that collection of Barbies. And the clothes, your mom does amazing work. I wish I would have saved mine but I doubt they would have looked that good.
Isn't that wonderful! I have some patterns for knitting those kind of clothes for barbies, my gran used to make them for my dolls, but having two boys the only one I ever used was the pattern for Action Man Ski suit! Your Mom did a great job and you have kept those outfits so beautifully.
What a beautiful collection of dolls! Brought back alot of memories ~ thank you! I sold my collection years ago on ebay and it paid for a trip to Disney World!
Lovely family and your Barbie's are in excellent shape, I remember my grandma making clothes for my Barbie. Thanks for much for the nice comment over at my blog. One of these times I'll get the right post connected to the right URL, it's new for me as you can tell.
Oh my old Barbies make me swoon and these are darling! Thank you for sharing~
Hugs,

Fabulous! I loved the dolls and the outfits. And what a treasure that 3 generations have played with them and loved them. Thanks for sharing.
Brenna & Shaela are so beautiful ~ they certainly look like they're having a wonderful time with Mom-Mom's dolls. What a special treat. It's so nice that you still have all of them. I love the little Buffy doll (and Mrs Beasley too of course). Oh how I wish I still had my Tammy & Pepper dolls. They were my favorites.
What sweet treasures all those handmade outfits are. I'm sure they bring back lovely memories of your own childhood fun.
What beautiful treasures you have!! And everything looks so beautiful still after all these years! Your granddaughters are beautiful!
It looks like you had a wonderful visit with those little ones….I look forward to sharing my old Barbies with my grandkids one day too! So sorry they had to leave…
