My doll weekend....

Posted by Bethany in PA on 8/10/2025, 7:25 pm

Had a pretty good doll weekend. It started when I picked up my repaired vintage Barbie watch from the local watchmaker/jeweler. It looks (and runs) perfectly!

Also picked up my mail from my dad that includes this 2010 convention centerpiece doll. She's from the Friday luncheon and my 9th version of this doll.

Yesterday I went to a local antique store where I stumbled on some things that took my completely by surprise, starting with the "Farrah curl" version of Western Barbie and an open, but seemingly never played with Dallas.

Finally, tucked into a booth with sports cards was this Barbie that I didn't know much about. I could tell that she had been repainted though and done well, so I brought her home with me. She's an OOAK by RJ Bour. Can't find much about the artist, but there's another doll by this same person on eBay for considerably more than what I paid for her.

You did great Bethany, all nice additions to your collection. Love the watch.

Congrats on your finds. And glad the watch is back in A-1 condition.

About the OOAK

Posted by Kathy M. in CO on 8/11/2025, 7:39 am, in reply to "My doll weekend...."

Not a lot of info, but I have one which I am 99% sure is the same artist.

I know she was on Custom Dolls in the early 2000's as that is when it was more active. I got mine in a swap I think. I made a tactical error in not tagging all the OOAKs I got, so I rely on a very faulty memory of who did what. Sorry for the quick down and dirty snap. I was in a hurry. LOL

Love the watch though. Really fun to have it look and work like new!!

Thanks for the info! That's more than I knew before! As for the watch, I love that it works again!
