If I had a Barbie I'd so be keeping this.For the chic uptown girl: a modest mauve townhouse with pink and green accents; two levels only, but look at that front door - talk about curbside eye candy. And the front window in the master bedroom? Barbie's drooling over it already. Quelle natural light and south-eastern exposure!
If Barbie were real, this may cost half a mil.
In the 'real' human new retail world, I'm guessing $100+.
In the Grunge Queen alternative universe: five bucks, at my local thrift store, Stretch Thrift.
It folds out to reveal a kitchen and living room on the lower level, and a bedroom and bathroom on the upper level - the green bed isn't folded down here, oops, Barbie you need to work on your housekeeping skills.Ok, so maybe Barbie's downgraded to the recession version of Barbie high-life with this abode.
But that didn't prevent my nieces - and my nephew - from loving it.
I didn't think they'd love it so well, but they played with it all night - even though there wasn't a Barbie to be had. They haven't quite discovered that phenomenon yet, for which I'm sure my sis and bro-in-law are grateful.
Great find! Your nieces and nephews must love when Auntie Kelly visits!
ReplyDeleteI don't often bring them thrift shops finds - you have better luck than I in finding good quality toys and such, but between this and the Star Wars figurines maybe my luck is changing!
ReplyDeleteahhh, a Barbie house!! I always wanted one (and the convertible too) but my parents couldn’t afford it. A girl on my block had a dream house with an elevator and I had a hand sown barbie camping tent and sleeping bags, lol. It was still cool.
ReplyDeleteI never had a Barbie house either, Eyeliah, though my sis and I had just about everything else. But I can relate to yearning atfer something house-like: for years we lusted after the Barbie "Motor Home," a three-foot long house on wheels that had beds, a shower, kitchen, you name it. We finally got it one year for Christmas from a friend of the family's - though we had yearned after it for so long we were almost too old to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYour handmade tent sounds neat - I bet you were the envy of your fellow Barbie-playing friends, even though they may not have told you at the time .....
