A New Gift and a Barbie Mystery For You to Solve

   I have to thank reader Treesa for a recent gift. She read a recent post where I was loving the new Poison Ivy doll, so she sent me the closet thing she had: another Poison Ivy doll, for World Doll Day! I have been very lax in showing you the gifts Treesa sent me at Christmas time last year, but I am showing you this one. Following that, I have a dilemma I'm hoping you Barbie scholars can help with.

 Treesa says the doll is the Super Hero Girls Poison Ivy, redressed in a Crayola Pixie Doodles doll Razzle Dazzle Rose fashion pack dress, and she has named her Poppy.

  She has jointy wrists, elbows, and knees.

 I've been having a lot of trouble getting around lately, due to my sciatica acting up, so I had to take the pictures without getting down to the doll's level. Sorry about the quality.

  Now, while I have you here, I have a mystery that needs solved. Maybe one of you can help. Emma, who works for ShopGoodwill, got this dress in recently. She recognized it as a vintage Barbie dress, and it is tagged, but, even though she searched online, she couldn't find this dress anywhere. 

  I recognized the fabric right away as the same fabric used for Francie's skating outfit, in the JC Penney exclusive Sportin' Set. But I couldn't find it either. Does anybody know what it's called? If you do, please leave the answer in the comments.

Happy 250!

   Happy fourth of July! It's not every day we turn 250 years old. I'm revealing my age by saying I remember the bicentennial quite well. I hope everyone has a safe and fun, (and cool!), fourth of July. 

Happy fourth, from Tammy and Gareth World.

  Our heat is ongoing. We were supposed to get a thunderstorm tonight, but it never happened. Ken had his second round of stents put in yesterday, and he did great. He's taking it easy now, and healing. 

  I'll see you soon for another post.
