.29 Salvation Army Finds... Jem and Peaches N' Cream Barbie

     Hello doll lovers!! The same day I picked up the lot of dolls in the previous post I picked these girls up too. I decided they needed their own post because these girls are near and dear to my heart because if you are child of the 80s you know about these girls. I grew up with these dolls and can not say no when I see them for a reasonable price and come on .29 is very reasonable!
     This is an original Jem doll in a crystal barbie dress (I love this dress) and I believe that the barbie is peaches n' cream it is hard to tell because she is not wearing any of her jewelry or her outfit, but her makeup looks to be correct. I have a peaches n' cream dress but it is not in very good condition, guess it will have to do till we find a better one. Her face paint is very vibrant she still has her peach blush, her head is a little wobbly and falls to the back maybe that can be fixed. Jem is in good condition just in need of a good spa day, as of now her earrings do not work but she may just need new batteries (which are watch batteries so I do not have them laying around my house).  I feel bad for Jem cause she does not have an outfit for now but who knows maybe we will find her some in the near future.
     I absolutely loved the big dress dolls of the early/mid 80s they were my favorite. I was only 4 or 5 but they were so beautiful to me. By big dress dolls I mean peaches n' cream, dream glow, loving you and of course crystal barbie. All of these girls had stoles (except loving you barbie) and they were so  pretty. I wasn't lucky enough to have these dolls when I was younger (my mom probably thought they were to nice to give to a small child (even though she gave me her bubble cut barbie which I destroyed but I digress) of course these dolls were around $20 at the time so if you purchased that doll today it would be almost $50. I can see why my mom said no.
