Peteena

After a weekend of garage sale and estate sale I have a unique find.  I brought a child suit full of doll clothes.  When I start looking thought it, I found clothes tagged Peteena.  So I went online to see who she was. 

           

Peteena's clothing is well designed and well made. At least one piece of each outfit is tagged.

• Surf's Up her original outfit. It consists of a lime green polka dotted bikini made from a synthetic knit material; matching cotton hat; yellow sandals; arm bracelet; hard plastic sunglasses. The bikini has two foam rubber pads to give a little shape to Peteena's flat-chested figure. 
• Ooh La La is a hot pink satin one-shoulder evening gown with matching rabbit fur-trimmed stole, both with pearl accents; nylon stockings; long white gloves; white shoes; gold clutch purse; pearl necklace, bracelet and drop earrings. 
• Campus Capers is a blue and burgundy synthetic knit striped top and matching tights; burgundy belt with metal closure; burgundy cotton jersey skirt and matching tam; burgundy Mary Jane shoes; State pennant with streamers; black vinyl book bag and book strap; 3 books.
• Slicker Set is a black plastic raincoat with horizontal yellow stripe; matching black hat; yellow boots; non-opening umbrella; flat yellow vinyl bag. 
• Zero Cool is a synthetic knit jumpsuit in aqua and lime; matching aqua jacket with back zipper and lime embroidered accent; skis; poles; black plastic boots; goggles; furry hat and mittens.
• Twinkle Toes is Peteena's ballet outfit, or rather two outfits. One is a black practice leotard and tights; the other is a pink velveteen ballet costume trimmed with lace and flowers; pink tights; blue ballet slippers with ties; floral headpiece.

After all the online research I find something from each outfit.  I now wish I had spent more time going thought the bins at this garage sale.  If I had known about her and her clothes I many have found all her items.  

Here are some of the outfits I have find NRFP. 

If you have a NRFB Peteena outfit of the missing clothes I would love a copy.  

Tammy Japanese Clothes

I recently come across the Tammy Japan clothes booklet on Ebay.  I was not the luck winner, but I did email the owner and ask for copy of the photo to place on my facebook page.  I want to share it here and some NRFP Tammy clothes I seen on the Internet.  Enjoy.

Here are two Japanese booklet that I would love the inside photo.  Does anyone have them?

This is one of my favorite Japanese outfits. Comes with compact and lipstick

In Search of a good find ...

     My sister has been saying that I need to do a blog.  A few years ago I did a newsletter about Barbie & fashion dolls.  So starting a blog seems the next step.  This blog will be about dolls and the things that go with them.  

My first find was with my sister at an Antique show when I was 16.  I found a vintage Skipper case with clothes and doll.  I just had to have.  I knew nothing of vintage Barbie at the time.  My sister had one when I was little and was not allowed to play with.   

After getting the Skipper case home, we had the time to really look in it.  We found a Skipper booklet that helped us identify the clothes.  We found that I had all of the first ten outfits, the doll and a case.  I still have them all, but she was just the beginning of a new love.  

     

       

I love Barbie and all the little pieces.  This is Skipper #1924 Tea Party it comes with Styrofoam cake(click on photo to enlarge).  One of the many hard to find pieces.
