Before I do the Second Row…
I found some new gems. Well things I like anyway.
The first is this trunk. It reminded me of my sister’s hope chest. I have always wanted one but never gotten one. Right now, a place to put one would be an issue, even if cost were not a factor
Then I found this one.
Yes a miniature, real Lane Cedar Chest! With a lock even. Reading the paper label on the bottom I wonder if this could be a sales sample.
Then while perusing the clearance aisle at Walmart I found…
Bee Keeper Barbie.
I love that she comes with bees and bottles of honey.
A Computer, to monitor how much honey is sold and keep the status of the hives updated.
I Love her boots!
Her face is pretty sweet too.
Ready for more???
I found this one!
A Surprise Barbie!
She came with a guitar. My favorite of all instruments (unless you are playing Amazing Grace, then it must be bagpipes)
A dress and Lab coat.
Beaker and goggles
A Microphone.
A set of test tubes in a stand.
I love her face. I have not redressed her in the lab stuff. I like this skirt and the watch. I am not crazy about the tee but that’s just me.
I am working on the second row post I promise and the 3rd row!
Hugs Y’all
Back in the 50’s and 60’s Lanes gaveout those miniature boxes with the purchase of a cedar (aka hope) chest.
When I was growing up a hope chest would be a boys gift to his girlfriend before the diamond . It was kind of the pre-engagement ring of its day!
Barbies are adorable. Someday I’ll shop again 🙁
Love and God bless ,
