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
