The unpacking....

Posted by Bethany in PA on 7/1/2025, 7:07 pm

I've unpacked everything (found my missing toiletries case - it was in the Barbie case!) except for the large lobster print tote bag. That's filled with table gifts - including dolls - that are loose, along with my convention doll and gifts.

It's, um, a larger pile than I anticipated.

Some items were gifts. Some not. Some I bought in bundle deals or made offers for on the last night of room sales. Some I purchased at other conventions (GAW and Swell) via a friend and I picked them up in Louisville. There's a whole stack of Betty Pickett things I've yet to unwrap. The delicate blue gown is vintage, pristine Halina of Chicago. I have clothes and tote bags. There are loose dolls, including several OOAKs from names that were big in the Barbie Bazaar days.

For me, it was a fun time. The kind of time I can only have once a year. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Love that mod gal in the green boots!

Enjoy the unpacking, you have some great convention treasures.
