 I couldn't believe my luck when I won tis repro bride Barbie...I immediately knew that she's gonna be my star of autumn. I got most of her clothes at dollmeet declutter / swap - again, oh joy!!!

Classic jacket and super mini kilt...

She photographs well and looks surprisingly young...

Barbie Bride No. 209

It was a sad and busy June 2022 most of which I spent visiting my boss at St. Thomas's Hospital and working for her there - conditions that are definitely not made for me...

I had to keep my spirit up by rewarding myself with dolls ...regularly LOL

One evening I spotted this surprisingly affordable unboxed 

1961 Barbie Bride Collectable reproduction from 1997...

...and she was ginger...

...with available options of brunette and egg-blonde...

Poor thing had to spent quite a while hidden away in a box, deep in my wardrobe....but here she is!!

Oh! Auburn in pearls...

Oh 2 glitter and lace...

Really chuffed!...welcome vintage adventures...

Such cloassic!

<3

Lovely pearls

ah, and here she is in full close-up

cannot wait to photograph her....more than bridal extravaganza 

I dream about a cozy autumnal woolies...

Delicate and elegant against the rough brown paper...

...mystique...

I love her classic charm and elegance...

...and nice surprises from collectable edition doll...

fab lace fest!

...now she is waiting patiently on current yet temporary 'display'....
