Today’s Friday Girl was part of my birthday present from Naomi. She is a reproduction ponytail Barbie from 1962. Her floral dress is a reproduction of a pak fashion from 1964 called “On the Go”. Barbie time travelled to get it.
If you have seen this doll around I think you can guess what the rest of the present was. Yes. It was Barbie’s Dreamhouse 1962 reproduction. We will be showing it to you very soon.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. Happy birthday, what a lovely gift. I love her floral shift and how the colors coordinate with her make-up. The print is perfectly scaled and flowers are very a popular motif now.

    • I was pleased to have her as it is unlikely I’ll ever have a vintage one but even more pleased to get the house which I have been wanting since it came out.

  3. Lovely! Can’t wait to see her new digs! Was just removing 1962 Ken from the laundry room and thinking how he and Allan would have looked in wedding duds post Royal wedding. Your Barbie reminded me of Sarah,I couldn’t remember her dress. Thinking of this doll in a wedding dress earlier? So pretty.
