My childhood Skipper doll just got home from her "Spa Day"!!!!!!

My parents bought her for me around 1964. As a child, I played with her often, and totally loved her. Even after I was finished playing with dolls, I kept her. She has been packed away for 50+ years. I finally decided that she should have a place of honor in my doll cabinet, so I sent her out for rejuvenation to Pink Bubble Doll Spa. Bobby Taylor did a wonderful job! He gave her a good cleaning, fixed her hair, and touched up her face paint.

I was able to find this 1964 vintage Skipper fashion, "Red Velvet" (in excellent condition) from eBay.

I think she looks fabulous considering she is almost 60 years old!!!!!!

He really does a great job! <

I decided to have my childhood #4 Barbie freshened up and sent her off. She came back looking great but still loved which is perfect because I did play with her alot.

I still remember the thrill of saving up the $3.00 and going to the toy store to buy her. I still have her case and all her clothes including the wardrobe my mom made for Christmas one year.

Bobby Taylor always does phenomenal work. Skipper is gorgeous.

Makes it even more special for restoring her.

Wow! What a transformation! She looks brand new!

Bobby did a great job, her hair is perfect. And that is such a classic fashion. She deserves a place of honor. I need to send Bobby my childhood Tammy and Pepper dolls. They’re in decent shape but the hair is awful on both. I have quite a few official fashions for each plus lots of mom made clothes.

School two hours late. No morning Kindergarten.

Was your Tammy the original or the "grown up" version? I have alot of the Tammy stuff. It's an

entirely different vibe than Barbie. I like them and need to have them displayed again. They have been packed away for 20 years!

Yes, both the original Tammy and Pepper>>

I preferred them to Barbie, not really sure why. I had Barbie but T&P were my go to play toy. I have a great case still in really good shape, several of the catalogs. Each doll has at least 3-4 official fashions and then my mom made lots of clothes for them. They are in excellent shape but their hair is matted and sort of flat from storage. I really do need to send them both to Bobby Taylor.

I LOVE her! I still have my last Barbie too msg-->>

My first Barbie was a twist and turn, then a brunet side poneytail talking Barbie and my last was a busy hand Barbie that I still have. But her leg fell off and she is very sticky. I have a huge vintage Barbie and case collection. Love them!

She looks great! What a treasure.
