Barbie Games and Window Displays


I just read a bit about a woman in New York who was wandering in her apartment and discovered her daughter’s old bag of Barbie games in the closet. Living in a first floor apartment building, she decided to use those Barbie games as part of her Christmas decorations. She created a window display of the Barbies dressed up in their holiday finest to show in her window.

Over the year, the displays have gotten more elaborate with ice skating ponds and wedding scenes being created from items she has on hand or has purchased throughout the year. The displays in her windows have become a Christmas time novelty. This year, she started the display in early December with a wedding ceremony for Barbie and Ken complete with guests and special flooring. About midmonth, she transformed the celebration to be the reception of the wedding with Ken playing a Grand Piano and plenty of guests.
