Hi Dolls! I'm Lynne and have been a Barbie fanatic since I was a young girl in the late 60s. I rediscovered my love for Barbie in 2009 and started collecting. My favorite Barbies are from the Mod Era 1967 - 1973. Some may call it an obsession but I prefer the word "hyper-fixation", haha.
I also love and collect other early 70s dolls like Dawn dolls, World of Love, the Sunshine Family, Dusty and others.
