On an outing to a doll show, my hubby (the brother of the two sisters) found me a #3 :) Archived Message Posted by Bobbi in IN on 6/6/2017, 6:08 pm, in reply to "What a kind and thought gift you gave - Glas you still have the lovely memories - Hope you have been" It was the second time I was able to go to a doll show. Imagine with a 5 year old and a baby in a buggy, we all went. He found me a beautiful brunette #3 and she went home with me, along with some outfits. My first doll show I attended before this one, I was pregnant with the baby, and my brother took me to my first doll show for my birthday. He bought me my titian bubblecut Barbie. So yes I now have them back with me, and I have been collecting ever since. Message Thread: My first Barbie, is long gone. Actually I was given two Barbies for my first Barbie Christmas.....m - Bobbi in IN 6/6/2017, 3:04 pm It was nice of you to share, but so sad that they didn't treat their toys better. >> - Steph in ma 6/7/2017, 7:37 am Bobbi, your story has such a sad ending, but the memories are rich enough to overcome any regrets.>> - Barb in Chicago 6/6/2017, 11:57 pm Bobbi, I embraced your story and was in a similar situation. You get to keep your fond memories. - Judy in Pa 6/6/2017, 8:41 pm so glad you enjoyed your dolls, but sorry that others had destroyed them :-( - Karen/glammourdoll 6/6/2017, 7:45 pm Nice story Bobbi, didn't expect the ending: sisters in law!! - Nilsa 6/6/2017, 6:46 pm What a kind and thought gift you gave - Glas you still have the lovely memories - Hope you have been - Chataine/Val 6/6/2017, 4:22 pm On an outing to a doll show, my hubby (the brother of the two sisters) found me a #3 :) - Bobbi in IN 6/6/2017, 6:08 pm I'm glad there was a happy ending. - Margie 6/7/2017, 8:56 am I'm so glad Bobbi - You deserve lots of beautiful dolls for being so kind ((Big Hug)) - Chataine/Val 6/7/2017, 1:48 am Click in on my line above... - Bobbi in IN 6/6/2017, 6:09 pm Great story.

No sisters for me, just brothers, and didn't touch my dolls... - Bobbi in IN 6/6/2017, 3:19 pm Yes, it did hurt. But when I got my original Barbie back my love of Barbie started all over again. - Faye in AZ 6/6/2017, 4:18 pm   Searching
