Collecting Vintage Barbie Dolls and clothing is a fun and rewarding hobby.  Most of us are drawn to the items that we loved and cherished from our childhood.  If you are like me, you don't have many (or any) people in your life who even "get" the fun and passion vintage Barbie collecting, much less have an ounce of interest.  ("You paid HOW MUCH for that"?)

I have created this special place to share our stories and collections with others who share our passion for vintage Barbie.

Share Your Vintage Barbie Collection & Stories

Feel free to share anything about your collection here - your favorite dolls/ensembles, your stories, even what attracted you to collecting or how you got started.
