Let's celebrate July 4th with a 2009

#barbie #barbieconvention #july4th
In July 2009, I was lucky enough to attend the Barbie Convention, celebrating Barbie's 50th birthday! We got so many amazing souvenir dolls! So to celebrate July 4th (Independence Day) in 2024, I thought it would be fun to take a look at this doll - and we'll check out all the rest during the month of July, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of this historic Barbie convention!

Love her. I have never been to a Barbie convention. I know it must be fun! Happy 4th!

[@SmallPlasticWorld]

It was fun but it was a lot in a short time! I haven't made it to another one and that's probably fine LOL I hope you had a great 4th!

Happy Independence day! 🇺🇲 She is absolutely stunning! Love the box artwork, her face, outfits and all the accessories. 😍

Thank you so much 🤗 I was super lucky that I was able to attend that convention! It's been so hard not to unbox her!! :)

[@Charlies_dolls]

Love her blue dress, classic ❤ I would be tempted to unbox her too.

It has been really hard to keep these convention dolls in the box but they look so nice I just can't do it! :)

Wow she’s looks beautiful, you have a lot of will power not unboxing her 🙈 Although the way she’s displayed in her box does look lovely. I hope you had a fantastic 4th of July! 🇺🇸😊✨

[@SmallPlasticWorld]

Thank you, it was a lovely holiday :) The box display is just too nice to take apart :( but it's a struggle for sure! :)

She’s pretty! As far as Goodwill I don’t think they’re too “good” because I’ve yet to find any dolls there!!! Even the one down near Hammonasset beach nothing!!! 🫣

It's super frustrating! I swear the Goodwills on the West Coast all have that giant pile of dolls. At least the few times I managed to get to them. But none of the ones around here have any for the most part!
