Yesterday it was flea-market time and the weather was great!!! So happy about it

Here is what I got: a small card game branded Barbie. It is for small children. You need to find the missing pieces matching the pictured items. I liked it because there are pictures of lots of Barbie fashions. My husband spotted it:

then some Barbies included a Superstar, one with the Stacie face and a Dee-Dee (I think she is called so):

They are all in need of a good wash.

With the same lot I got a Sindy doll, with the most delicious red lips I ever saw:

and a Todd, with a nice face but ruined hands

The seller wanted 25 euros for the 5 dolls, I offered 15, at the end I paid 18. I would have been more satisfied with 15 euros but I decided to take them anyway.

Then I absolutely fell in love with her:

She has a Skipper face and body. The hair are much more reddish than what the camera picked up and she has green eyes. She will be a perfect addiction to my Skipper collection.

And then I picked up this NRFP clothes (I love the “Ken PJ”):

The cowgirl outfit on the left is a freebie for a friend.

Ah…almost forgot. Last piece, for 1 euro, this LLL outfit and pixie tail:

Today I worked but fotunately it was very quiet and raining, so a perfect weekend.

I hope you enjoyed yours as well.

So, we are back from Hamburg and trust me…I’m happy we managed to be. Normally Hamburg-Düsseldorf takes roughly 4 hours included a bit of traffic (400 km), well…it took us 10 hours yesterday and just because my husband did the last 250 km quite “quickly”.

We were stuck more than 6 hours (more towards 7 actually) in a traffic jam and by it I mean we managed to cover  something like 10 km in this time, it was a nightmare!!! I will never go to Hamburg again!!!! It took me all today to recover and this is why my pictures are dark. I took them late in the afternoon since I couldn’t look at anything reminding me of yesterday

Anyway, enough for rumbling. Before I knew  what terrible afternoon/evening was laying ahead of us I enjoyed the 2 days very much. We met some friends, saw lots of dollies and I bought many things, all small things at bargain prices. So I was still able to spend no more than 45/50 euros and still buy quite few pieces I liked.

I got a red-haired Sindy and a Barbie Beauty secrets. I love them both, they just need cleaning:

By another seller I got the Barbie Beauty Secrets’ original case with all the accessories inside, it was almost more”expensive” than the doll herself but I would like to get also the rest of her clothes somewhere.

Then I got totally smitten by an Hollywood Hair Teresa from beginning of the nineties. I love Teresa with dark blond hair and the makeup is just fabulous:

I also got a “frankenstein” Skipper, the head is on the wrong body but I just wanted the Ginger head:

and then I got lots of clothes The bargain of the day was an original R&D Susie set for 10 euros, the pictures do not show how nice it is:

and it was by far my most expensive purchase. Then 2 Barbie lingerie sets:

another Barbie (I think) outfit with matching umbrella:

In the pictures, because of the rubbish light, it seems to be almost pink but it is really white-white

I also got a very nice vintage Petra’s red skirt and matching blouse but I forgot to take the pictures. The same happened for a small lot of Lady Lovely Locks I bought yesterday as well: doll, dress and a pixie, perhaps I will take pictures next week.

And then I got some small Barbie accessories. I just couldn’t leave there the nice tennis rackets, one for Barbie and one for Skipper. And from the same box I picked up also the superstar bag:

So, this was my shopping at the fair but this month I also got a bit carried away with ebay and bought some cute miniatures, I will show them when they arrive

…and she’s a beauty I paid her 29 euros included shipping but she comes with her original outfit and she’s in excellent condition. I have a small Skipper collection and the girls really needed one of their friends. Here she comes:

I think she’s worth every euro I paid for her ;-D

So, my antiquarian shop is progressing, I’m not sure though if I will leave like it is or add some finishing touches. I added a couple of furniture and some small props I bought yesterday at the Action Figurado fair. The dolls are are a repro Barbie and Skipper:

Few weeks ago I found at a fleamarket this pretty Pose ‘N Play Skipper for just 1 euro, how could I not pick her up? She’s even wearing the hard-to-find german swimsuit from 1972. Finally today I felt better after a week of cough and sneezing and I had a chance to clean her up.

Here she’s below, on the left before cleaning, on the right after cleaning and a bit of spruce up:

I think she’s lovely and she joined my small collection old and vintage Skippers.
