Pamy: I was thinking of buying for my niece (one and a half). Then thought her Mom might not want one.

actually, that is princess holly's room (see princess crown with veil!). all of the the items on the shelves are her collections.

the football is a signed ball from when as a member of the boys and girls club they got to go to raider's training camp and she has jerry rice's and lots of other raider's autographs on it.

she has a pair of drumsticks from the drummer of the moody blues there also. she was 10 years old at her first concert with my SIL, who is a major moody blues fan, sitting in the front row. all of the members of the band fell in love with her, and the drummer motioned her to come to the front of the stage and he HANDED her his drumsticks. he usually only gives out one, and she got the pair.

other items on her shelves: her furbies (thank god their batteries finally went dead!), her signed t-shirt from amanda beard, a signed raider's hat, her "huggable holly" ty dolls. special beanie babies, etc.

Ok,I have decided that people who buy 3 year olds collectible Barbies should be shot!
The evil SIL bought Miranda the Irish Princess doll for Christmas. I had it hidden in the back of my Jeep until I found a good hiding place in the house. Well,dodo Hubby let's her get back there today,and she runs in the house throwing the box aside.
I had to attempt to explain why she cannot play with the beautiful Irish Princess. After many tears and fits,the Barbie has now been hidden.
But,I know I haven't heard the last of it yet.

At the very least hippy, there should be a one to look at - one to play with rule. I love Barbie dolls, but I don't buy the collectables because I cannot bear to leave them in the boxes.

i started buying the dolls when holly was 3. but she had "play with" barbies, and "never remove from box - just look at" barbies. and believe me. she had LOTS of those! and most of the time they were always nekkie!!

you know what's funnier than nekkie barbies lying around the house? when holly made her dad play barbies with her and he had to play with the nekkie ken doll! she gathered them all up when she was 9 and that was it... she didn't want them anymore. <sigh> and i so loved stepping on those little barbie shoes in my bare feet too!

LOL Mojo at the Diva!

I will do pics this weekend, like Mojo said I have a Barbie room but it's not big enough! SO now they are all over the house! LOL

pamy, i couldn't even fit all the barbies in the picture! how many do you have? some of the barbies are behind other barbies because we ran out of room on the shelves!

Landi, I am not sure, I think about 400(and everyone of them is special to me for different reasons), I have been saying for years I need to create inventory in Access, it is just so time consuming.

I still have Barbie's from my childhood and I started collecting in the early 80's.

I hear ya on the shelves, Bill designed the room for me and we thought it would be enough room! LOL..nope, need another room!

do you collect barbies because you like certain ones? or certain collections? do you collect "play" barbies? or just "collectible" barbies? i guess we may have to go to PM for all of this, as we'll start boring someone!
