Welcome to VINTAGE THINGIES THURSDAY hosted by Suzanne at Colorado Lady. Check out her blog and all of the other bloggers who post such wonderful vintage goodies. I always learn something new. Below are some of my toys from the 60's. I'm sure you recognize Snoopy as the Red Baron. He along with the large Troll Doll sat on my Dad's desk in the basement forever! Remember the smell of the plastic of those troll dolls? She still has that funny smell! You will also see my Skipper doll, who is in pretty good condition although it looks like I trimmed her bangs at some time. An old Raggedy Ann is in the middle. My Barbie has been restored by a wonderfully talented girl in California named Krista. You can look back at previous blog posts if you want to read more about her. To the right of Barbie is my Midge doll in her original condition. I have purchased a couple of vintage Barbie dresses on ebay recently. Seeing all of these toys together brings back good childhood memories of playing with friends during those carefree summers. The black and white fabric in the background was given to me by an artist friend. She bought the cotton in New York City in the early 60's planning on making a "mod" dress. It's being recycled and I am making a dress for my daughter.
