A Wedding Catastrophe...Is it GONE?

Vickie's Sales are strong with their Party Wear Blow-out! More and more customers come in and the merchandise flys out the door.

Not just dresses are disappearing, but accessories and shoes.

Bags are full and customers are happy!!!

Eleanor: I really need a size 10w in some purple or lavender shoes, can you help me?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Zoe: Sure! How about these silver ones, they will go with everything and they are perfect and in your size?

PS: I love all the inclusive dolls and body types, but SHOES are a nightmare Mattel!

After returning from buying lunch, Carly runs upstairs during a lull.

Carly: Oh, NO! Where is it?
EL: What are you looking for?
Carly:THE dress, it's gone....Nooooooooo!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

EL: Oh no, which one?

Carly: (sobbing) The beige lace with the fishtail bottom.

Unaware of the drama unfolding upstairs, Vickie chats with the happy lady with the silver shoes and dress.

Eleanor: My grandmother had a hat exactly like this.

Vickie: Well we do have quite a bit of vintage, as you can see.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gabby: Best day shopping ever!!!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

It's closing time, and Zoe wheels out all the online sales for the day. It's a lot!

Zoe: Phew, it was hard to wait on all those customers and pull merchandise at the same time which sold online. We almost had a fight upstairs, two gals had their hands on that sparkle dress and I had to say it was already sold.

Carly: My dress is it in here??? Has anyone seen what happened to it?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Zoe: Carly don't worry, I put it aside for you when you went for lunch.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Girls: SURPRISE, CARLY! It's yours we all chipped in...we love you and it's yours!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Carly: Oh, you didn't have to do that...but MY DRESS! I'm so happy, I could cry! 

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Note: I'm still fighting with this shoulder injury, seeing a surgeon on Friday, seems I have moderate/severe arthritis and something else going on. Must be from all the thousands of pounds of clay I pushed around on the wheel for 40+ years. Sigh...so, I'm even limited with what I can do with all the dolls and mini's. 

I'm going to try and do Vickie's with all my 80-90's NEON to celebrate the Barbie Movie! We will see, going to try today for a bit.

Hope everyone and their 
Dolls have a fabulous 4th!

Vickie's Vintage 2020

AD-Free Blog

Vickie's is always so full of shoppers you probably can't see a thing. The store has been Spring cleaned for late winter and resort wear, as well as seasonal prom and wedding dresses.

The center of Vickie's has a rotating rack with 4 sides, side 1 is casual dresses and skirts! (I mix in some Sparkles Girls dresses for my grand girl to choose, she likes the bright colors over the vintage.)

Vickie adds new items with her vintage selections!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lots of vintage goodies here! I'm amazed at the detail on the older items.

Vintage Barbie jewelry on plastic canvas backed with thin cardboard.

Rack side 2, fancy short dresses and a few tops. Lots of purses work on the hooks.

The shoe rack is always popular, freshened with lots of summer colors and still a few short boots for Chicago winters.

Rack side 3, has more dresses, slacks/jeans and lower shelf has large totes, purses and luggage.

This cabinet has lots of accessories and lingerie.

On top are resort items, swimsuits, totes and glasses! Vickie loves to dress this area and it changes often!

Rack Side 4 has vintage jackets and tops...and a few yoga mats.

Whoops, the checkout counter was tipped over to clean under!
The accessory center has 4 drawers of new hair accessories and...

...Vickie's DIY lotion/soap line.
Jewelry is this and that...with a few extra accessories. The bracelet holder is actually a tape covered glue stick 
mounted on a little board.

All closed up---this fixture (RL vanity accessory) works so well!

Upstairs is Bridal and Formals.

Most of the dresses are definitely vintage. Pantyhose and accessories are displayed with the dresses. Three cabinets showcase the wide array of colors and product. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lots of fun fabrics, shoes, and accessories...an empty shelf, something sold. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

On top of the closets are jackets and accessories!

Sometimes Vickie has short dresses on top also. The bridal salon has helped Vickie's to be successful in an expensive rental market.
Fictionally located on the north side of Chicago near the HFIM house.

Clothes are always on hold, waiting to be wrapped up, and collected by the (fictitious) customers. 
Always great shopping at Vickie's!
