Blast from the Past!!

2

My Grandma and Grandpa bought me a tub full of Barbies from the 80's at a yard sale! I had such a blast this weekend going through them. I chose a few of them to keep, and a few of them to list on eBay. I'm going to share some of the photos with you guys.


Did anybody have any of these dolls?








Magic Moves Barbie from 1985. I always thought she was so pretty and secretly coveted the one that my friend Deni had. She has a switch on her back that, when flipped, moves her arms up beside her hair.













This is Loving You Barbie from 1983. Adorable!
















A collection of Tropical Barbies from 1985. I'm pretty sure I had every single one of these dolls. The nice thing is all their swimsuits and hair accessories were in the tub :)









I have no idea who this Barbie is, but she appears to be from the late 80's or very early 90's. 
She has a bows for earrings and a ring! I think she's really cute.













Totally Hair Barbie from 1991. This was the best selling Barbie of all time. 
I know I had one, and I'm sure you did, too!









Hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane!
