First Day-Special Guest at Vickie's Vintage

AD-Free Blog

Very early on the first day---Vickie opened her door early for Lara Roberts and Barbara M R. Not only are they her building manager and landlady--they have become her very good friends.

Vickie's is ready for the crowd today---if yesterday was an indication.

BMR: Congratulations Vickie and for your prospective groom, too. That was quite the announcement last night.
Vickie: Thank you, I think we were surprised too. 
BMR:Well, the store looks fabulous---especially without all those people that were here last night. I have to get some shopping in---I saw a yellow suit, I'm interested in.

(Last night snapshot of Richelle, BMR and Lara on the stairs. These three are responsible for the re-construction of the building.)

Lara: Auntie Barb, look what I found, I love this dress.

Zoe: There are two pair of slacks, the robe, and top here. How about this great golf skirt? Lara said you are quite the golfer.

BMR: I love the little purse---and the skirt is perfect...not too short-you know I'm getting older and a certain amount of decorum is necessary.

Ryan's Mom, Sandi, chimes in: Oh Miss Roberts---you always look so fabulous you are a role model for all women of a 'certain age.' (She giggles)

BMR: Why thank-you. I really try to be a role model. And, working with Vickie, Richelle, and Ryan has been a dream. Dealing with local regulations and acquiring historical status for this building wasn't easy and caused so many delays in construction. I think it is worth it though!

Vickie: We love the store, it's perfect. Thanks again, Miss Roberts. And, I'm glad you found something you liked.

BMR: (Big smile) It's always great shopping at Vickie's, Dear.

Barbie in Pretty Changes #2598

AD-Free Blog

Here is my Barbie No.3 modeling in the park. The outfit is from Pretty Changes #2598 1979-81. I found in a mixed lot online. This outfit originally came with a blonde doll in 1979.

It's pretty complete clothing wise, but minus those yellow strappy heels
(the ones that are impossible for old fingers to work), the jewelry PINK-Why? rose jewelry, and a brown hair fall?

The pieces shown here, are the satin jumpsuit (nicely made, I may copy it for a pattern), a long sleeved jacket in lace, lace overskirt, extra ruffle scarf,-I have used for the collar, and the white netting hat.

I've paired it with a yellow purse/tote. I know I have a smaller purse somewhere, in Vickie's Vintage stash. Peeling off the jacket, she shows the versatility of the outfit.

The overskirt, makes a great cape. I think the scarf could be used on the hat also.

I love the jumpsuit. I want to make one in some white linen. Very nice fit through the legs.

It seems a little large for this Barbie, but then the 1970 Barbie was pretty busty. Every piece is in excellent condition.

Well that's the photo shoot for this going to be '60' Barbie. 
I think she is ageless, though and can wear just about anything, well!
