To this day I'll spot pencil sharpeners shaped like telephones or sewing machines and I'll think - perfect size for Barbie!

I spent more time playing with the dolls then setting up house!

little broken bits of glass from when they gutted my house, big heavy chunks instead of shards, multi-faceted even. I picked up 63 of them out of three spots in the yard.

ah, yes, as I forgot to mention when I wrote about it, the cordlessosity is the key. :-)
