Diamond Jubilee Barbie dolls
Wow! It's been over a year since my last blog post.

I just want to share some of my latest additions to my collection. This year, my husband and I actually attended the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention in Kansas City, MO. At this year's convention, we got these lovely silkstone dolls by Robert Best (shown above). We also got a gorgeous vintage style doll by Bill Greening called 60th Sparkles Barbie doll.

I also won a lovely one-of-a-kind doll by Salvador Arriaga in the silent auction. I changed her spunky outfit (if I recall correctly, it was short shorts, a bikini top, and faux fur coat) into this glamorous golden gown:

While at convention, we also did some room shopping, and I bought some nice things from my favorite Barbie outfitters, Bellissima Couture, Martini House, and Paintbox Designs.

    About the Webmaster

    My name is Jared.  I began collecting dolls in 2011.  It all started with Barbie® Basics Model No 16 Collection 002 for me. Soon after that, I started photographing my dolls, editing the images and sharing my work on my Tumblr photoblog, Life in Plastic. "Playing" with dolls has inspired me to learn to sew, paint with acrylics, re-root doll hair, practice my bead craft, among other things...My collecting hobby turned into a passion for creating art in different media!
