The Barbie doll was invented in 1959 by Ruth Handler (co-founder of Mattel), whose own daughter was named Barbara. The Barbie doll was first introduced as a teenage fashion model, but in the years that followed she has taken on many roles. Today, Barbie continues to find new ways to inspire and encourage the next generation of girls. The world of Barbie today is a great deal more than a doll and accessories. The Barbie line has developed into a broad array of licensed products including books, apparel, and home electronics. In 1993, Barbie Hallmark Ornaments entered the market. Each year’s Hallmark ornament is based on a Special Holiday Barbie Doll. The series is very similar in theme to the Holiday Barbie series. Today, the Barbie Hallmark ornament collection is one of the most popular Hallmark ornament collector series. Hallmark has recently released the Barbie Inspired product collection.
As a general rule, I don’t consider myself a Barbie collector. However, I do love this new Barbie Inspired product collection. from Hallmark that blends together vintage and modern chic designs, taking me back to my own childhood.
