barbie dream house

I always go back to school a few weeks before all the teachers & students.  My in-laws graciously keep my children during the few weeks between my start date and theirs.

Mary Reese has spent her weeks playing with this...



My mother-in-law's Barbie Dream House...



She looked up the price of the dream house in these catalogs...

Can you guess how much it was?  $8.00 - isn't that unbelievable?

Mary Reese's Barbies have enjoyed gossiping on the couch...

...getting dressed multiple times daily from this vintage wardrobe...

Some of the clothes were hand knitted by another relative.

The Barbie dream house even came with a picture of Ken...

Good thing they are back together!

She has been hauling Barbies & accessories back & forth in this vintage case...

Mary Reese has loved playing with all things vintage Barbie!
