My Childhood Fisher Price Doll House! Thrift Store Sightings!

 

Hi Doll Friends!

So I was on the Facebook the other day and what should pop up in my feed? A Poshmark ad for...

  *drum roll*

The exact same doll house I got  in 1982 for Christmas & my Birthday when I was 10 years old! 

I say for my birthday and Christmas is because it was pretty expensive (for the time) and since I wanted it so badly my mother said I could have it if it counted as both. It was made by Fisher Price and had actual working lights! I loved it. Here is a post about it from This Old Toy Blog. Rather than plunking down the $75 the Poshmark seller wanted for it, instead I just screenshot the photos they had in the ad so I could come show you here. 

Isn't it so cool! I loved the balcony and the way it had a bay window... I got nearly every item of furniture they made for it at the time. So it was so neat to see it again. 

The other day at the thrift store I happened to see the two Glitter Girls in the photos below... It was all I could do to leave Tippi, who was was still in the box, there. But I did. I have too many dolls so I decided to leave it there for some other person to buy. She had lavender eyes...!! Or that is how they looked in the store. She's described as having brown eyes on the Glitter Girls website so I suspect they'd 'turned' that color. In hindsight I wish I'd have taken a more close up photo but I was fighting the temptation to buy her and had to snap a photo and walk away! Hahaha! 

Did you have a doll house when you were young? Do you have one now? 

Better run!
