Chris,Rob, and the Kids' Winter plans


Chris: I almost have all the decorations down. I suppose this one tree won't matter if we make sure the lights are off.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I really like this tree...here...should I leave it up all YEAR long?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper: I don't think so Mom. It would look icky with Easter Bunnies on it.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Grumpy: I just want them to leave so I can demolish that cake thing on the table.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Scooter: Shamrocks wouldn 't look so bad. Will the kitties be okay when we are gone?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Puss: Hoomans gone....what?????

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rob: They'll be fine. Auntie Barbie is right next door and they will love having the whole place to themselves. Is everyone packed?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

We need to leave for the airport by 9:00 PM for the red-eye to LA.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

(The stockings are gone---but the fire is cozy.)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The girls in unison: We're packed and everything is a go-!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Scooter: I brought two swimsuits will it be warm in California?

Rob: Grandma and Garmpa have a heated pool, so yes...it will be warm enough.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Decorations still Up, but wash is done)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chris: I'm packed, I'm hoping to buy some new clothes in LA. People dress so dreary here.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rob: Your closet is always full...!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chris: We've been here almost six years, and I haven't adjusted yet...can't wait for sun!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rob: How about one more Christmas photo here:

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper: But, what about the kitties????

It's really hard to get them to all be still.

Vickie's Vintage December 2024

Ad-Free Blog

Vickie's was certainly ready for the Holidays!

Catching up with my Doll World...I had neither the time or energy to post more in December...so here is the recap of what I had partially set up early in the month.

Hi, I'm Vickie ....

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: Hi, lovely Customers and friends...I just wanted to catch you up on all we have going on in Vickie's for the winter Holidays. We'll start on the Bridal Shop and Zoe has done a fabulous job of curating and displaying our vintage and new collections for the Holidays.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Delicious bridal, formal, and casual fashions!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Zoe: Thank you so much, Vickie. We really have lots of great looks for the ladies and gentlemen for the coming festivities.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Our Eternal Couple is all decked out for a Winter Wedding...classic white and black,  

barbieoldnewgreenredo

He has decided to add some whimsy with a knitted hat...just to remind you that Christmas and Hanukuh 
are only three weeks away.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The fur trimmed Ice Blue gown would be perfect for a wedding, formal, or New Year's Eve! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

We have lots of wedding apparel New and lightly Used, perfect for your special day at any price. For Party attendees, classic neutrals are always chic...
and accessories are here in abundance.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Our accessories and fashions make great gifts, and we gift wrap also.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

We have lots of Red and classic Black, 
with fur accessories and trims.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Check this one out with gold accents.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Short, long, full or skinny we have choices for everyone.
I think I have to have that blouse...we have several in different sizes by a local artisan.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The stairway wall is full of tuxedos, suits and outfits for the Guys. 

Add different color accessories for formal or casual...love this suit in Winter Gray with a silver sheen.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Four-piece formal wear suit...so classic and what's better than Santa jackets, we have them in all sizes.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Back to you Vickie. Carly and EL have done a fabulous job on the main floor for the Holidays.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The Top of the Carousel always features t
The 'LOOK' for the season.
Carly has chosen some great ensembles and accessories.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I think this is my favorite in dusty and pale pink with fur everywhere, add a black Santa belt and boots...perfect for parties or festive shopping!


So many people travel during this season, classic metallics in a sheath dress, add a jacket and you are ready to board the plane, train or automobile!

The last side is blush and neutral, with a great Peppermint striped scarf to include the season.

Below we are filled with red and green holiday sweaters along with dresses and everyday wear. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Here's some amazing sparkle!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Love the long green dress and optional fur shrug. 
Isn't Rudy adorable on that sweater?


barbieoldnewgreenredo

We fill this up everyday with Vintage, 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Used, and New fashions and accessories.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

We have every color and style for your gift giving or wearing for the holidays.

 Most are one of a kind so hurry in!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

EL: Hi, I'm EL, and Welcome to Vickie's Vintage. 

Shanlyn: Thank you, what a unique shopping experience here!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I'm overwhelmed with all the choices...I never thought I would find purple boots in a Vintage shop, 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Those Gold Knee-highs...are to die for. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I really LOVE Metallics.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

OH, this would be perfect for NEW YEAR'S EVE!

EL: Shall I wrap it up for you---how about a purse to match. Carly will be happy to ring you up.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Hi, I'm Carly, Welcome to Vickie's Vintage. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Check out our Red and Gold cabinet, with great looks for Winter and the HOLIDAYS...
I'm totally loving that red hat and scarf!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

How about this Sparkles set for every Holiday party you will be attending!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Mulan: The store looks SO fabulous  as always. I thought I would model the outfit I purchased here last week. I'm on my way to the Faculty Christmas luncheon! I will need some cards or brochures to pass out when everyone asks me, "Where did you get that...?!"

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: Happy Holidays, Mulan. I think you were our very first customer. I even have a lovely suit in the back room I saved for you to see....it's just your classic style.
And let's see if I can find those coupon cards to pass out! 

NOTES: 

Vickie's Diorama...nothing has changed but I have added a new under-cabinet light fixture downstairs that plugs in, no more battery lights. I'm slowly replacing lighting with plug-ins everywhere.  
 
The New Doll is Shanlyn /Fresh Doll. I purchased her at a thrift store for $3.97 new in the box. SCORE!

She has flat hands and simple articulation in shoulders, hips, elbows, and knees. Love her booty which was a challenge to dress, but basically is Curvy sized (depth) on the bottom and on the top, regular size for fashions. Her feet feet are a bit wider than standard Barbie with similar articulation, but fit many shoes. LOVE HER HAIR!

Here's Hoping!



My Gramma doll wishes you a Happy New Year from Me.
She's pretty close to what I look like when I found her. But, I gave her gray hair some blonde highlights and a bit of fresh makeup and tweaked her smile...!
So she's a Mini Me wishing you Happy New Year 2025.
 
So in Blog world, I have been pretty quiet the last half of this year...I'm still recovering from surgery, spending time with family, and just low-keying life as much as possible.

Wishing YOU ALL, the BEST possible for the NEW YEAR.

Just a suggestion, but I'm wearing a seatbelt at all times, 
because it's going to be a BUMPY RIDE!

HUGS, Sandi @ OldNewGreenRedo
and BarbieOldNewGreenRedo
