A Gift of Barbie

When I got home from school this week, there was a mystery parcel waiting on my front doorstep sort of like an abandoned baby.  The mailing sticker priced it at <$25.00 but the packaging suggested that the contents were much more valuable.  A solid cardboard box, layers of wide sticky tape, a cascade of pink shipping peanuts, and then two layers of bubble wrap.  This was treasure indeed!  And sure enough,  inside it all, I found gold.
My friend, Mary, lives in the United States now.  She moved there a long time ago and we don't see one another or even e-mail for months sometimes.  But, with kindred spirits, time and distance fade away when we are together and the conversation resumes exactly where we left off.  Mary is very artistic.  She is a painter,a photographer and a master knitter.  Mary has been watching the Barbie Project from her home and her very clever fingers were inspired to make a contribution.

What a gorgeous addition to the Barbie Project!   She is beautiful and Mary's attention to tiny detail is apparent in every stitch.

  1. What an interesting Barbie. I don't think I've seen one like her.
    Also, Suzan, I have a bedskirt in the exact same pattern as this backdrop!

  2. That is such a thoughtful gesture! It's a beautiful design. Low backs are ALL the rage these days, especially in the bridal set.
