So I searched Ebay and finally purchased a Dream House, just like mine. Yes, I am reliving my childhood through my daughter. But, lets face it! The Barbie houses and cars today are crappy. I didn't want that for her. After the house my search turned to the pool.
I was in the Goodwill Clearance Center, where they sell it by the pound!! My husband gringes at the mere mention. So there I was, digging in the bins and a light shines down, the angel chorus sings "AHHHHHHHHH" there was the slide to the Barbie Dream Pool. It was a holy grail in the wilds. I searched until I found almost everything. There are 2 pieces of railing missing, the shower, and small accessories are also missing, but I am not worried about that.
Overall, I am thrilled because I only paid $5 for it. I have seen them on Ebay for $30-50 in varying conditions. Now my daughter's Barbies can through the greatest pool parties all summer long.

That's cool! What a fabulous score for just $5! Your daughter (and you) will have hours and hours of fun. I was a Barbie fanatic too. My mom and my friend's mom would make homemade clothes for them too. We would imagine the hours a way. Barbies are the bomb!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I know how exciting it can be to find something you have been wanting/looking for. I am so jealous that you have a GW clearance center. I have only read about them but have never had a chance to visit one. It's on my list :-))
ReplyDeleteI love this-is-what-I've-been-looking-for finds! And uncovering it at the GW outlet is just that much sweeter :)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I had one of those too and wish I'd kept it!! : )
