I have a little stash if vintage dolls and toys which are either remnants of my childhood in the 1980's (that so ages me!) or I've bought since in a moment of nostalgia and thought I would start sharing pics of my collection here.
This girl isn't my actual childhood doll but I bought her a little while back as, without a doubt, she was one of my favourite dolls - Blueberry Muffin from Strawberry Shortcake.
My only sadness comes from the fact that this Blueberry Muffin doesn't have her adorable little shoes, so I'm always scouring eBay for a pair! Apart from that there is nothing that I don't love about this doll - her lovely stripy tights... Her little face of cuteness...
And don't even get me started on her sidekick Cheesecake...
I would love to get an actual Strawberry Shortcake to keep her company.
For all the new toys and dolls I buy, nothing is ever as precious as my vintage collections xx
These old Strawberry Shortcake dolls have about the same posability as the Novi Stars. I guess that is why, when everyone else is complaining about them not being posable, it doesn't really bother me. When I was a kid, I remember it was a huge deal when Barbie started to have arms that could move out SIDEWAYS, not just up and down, lol.
ReplyDeleteI agree, vintage dolls are no less awesome, even with all the great new ones nowadays.
