Early Friends 'N Family Pics... Archived Message Posted by Robin in OK on 10/21/2014, 8:37 pm We always check out the local antique stores & flea markets when we're out & about but rarely do I find anything for my Barbie collection. So I was pretty happy to have actually found a few things while we were on vacation. Like this repro Midge I found in a junk shop in Branson, Missouri. Her box has seen better days but that's okay as I have already de-boxed & redressed her. I also found these mini pots of flowers at an antique/craft mall in Branson. They're the perfect size for Barbie & her friends. And I found these cute miniature bears at a toy store. It's the toy store I visited in Eureka Springs, Arkansas that I posted about here last time we were there. Unfortunately after being in business for 30 years she was having a going out of business sale. I was sad to see her close her store but happy to get a great discount on these super cute bears. They are both fully jointed Cottage Collectibles by Ganz. They both came with name tags & COAs in little muslin drawstring bags. The one sitting in Trixie's lap is named Tyler. His tag says "Tyler is a pocket pal that's loyal & true, who'll be a full time friend to you!" the smaller bear is named Miguel. His tag says "Miguel is a honey of a bear with a tooth that's sweet who'll roll over or sit for any treats!" I thought they were adorable & also the perfect size for Barbie & her friends.
