Growing up in the 70's Barbies were always my favorite toys. My grandmother always encouraged me to be myself. My mother did not like dolls at all and gave away my whole collection when I was in the 8th grade and still playing with my dolls daily. I was distressed for about 12 hours until my grandmother took me thrift shopping and my collection really got started.

​

Since the 80's every time a friend would give me Barbies for my collection, I would make them a keepsake bracelet with Barbie shoes and beads. Several years ago a friend found hers and posted it on Facebook. Since then I have made over 5 thousand one of a kind Barbie shoe creations. I get most of my beads from thrift shopping and create my own designs.

​

So all my items really are one of a kind, since my shoe and bead assortment changes daily. I am happy to do custom orders if I have the right elements available. I am always collecting supplies and add new items weekly.
