My trip down memory lane today ( I’m sure I should be doing something more productive 😊)

I had a Tressy, loved dressing her up and doing her hair until I eventually lost the key and the bit in the middle where you turned it fell out so she had a gaping hole in her tummy. Later I had an Action Girl but she had rivets in her joints to enable her to do all the actions which I thought looked awful. She had to wear long dresses or a jumpsuit to hide them!

My sister had a Sindy doll, the one with dark hair in jeans & a striped top. We both had Sindy beds and wardrobes with outfits some of which my Aunty made us one Christmas, they were brilliant. We did get hours of fun out of them all.

grandtanteJE65 that’s an impressive display! I’m feeling a little sorry for my solo Barbie in a shoe box and not seeing the light of day for years .

Don't be - she is out and about now, after a nice long sleep.

Lucky you to still have your Barbie. I had a Barbie and also Sindy and Petra. I loved changing their little outfits.

I posted this on a knitting thread, but just in case anyone missed it and wants to knit their Barbie a whole new wardrobe as she has a new film coming out:-

I hope this isn't advertising and I'm sure there are many other stockists available.

There are some lovely patterns there Callistemon21. I’m hiding them from my Barbie in case she requests a wardrobe update. Her current clothes are only 60 years old so hopefully there’s still some wear in them 😃
