When I was a kid my sister got a set of Barbie sized beds. They could be used as bunk beds or twin beds, (which was how we
always used them).They were made of a marbley sort of swirly
light gray and white plastic and they came with these strawberry print pillows...
...which are all that's left of them. I think the beds and spreads must
have been given away when my sister gave away her Barbie New Dreamhouse.
For years the pillows were all I had to remember the beds by. Emma has
used the pillows since she was little on her doll Emma The Doll's bed.
But a while back I bought some
stuff at a doll auction, and buried in a box of doll clothes I found
THESE!

Hi there! I went on Pinterest to see if I could help. I didn't see anything exact (yet), but this bed from the 60's looked very close. Maybe the bed fit Barbie, but wasn't the Barbie brand?

Hi. Thanks for trying! I'm pretty sure the beds weren't Mattel, and I know they weren't Suzy Goose, so probably not specifically for Barbie. Definitely that size though.I don't remember them having a headboard, but maybe they had a head rail or something. There were two of them and they could be stacked as bunk beds or used as twin beds. I don't remember them having a ladder though.I do remember them having spindle type legs, and being that marble-ish swirly light gray and white plastic.

ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo! That has to be them! The covers have a different print, and I don't remember the raised deer, but I have one of those mattresses! I have it on my Suzy Goose Regal Bed, but it went to those! Thank you so much! I have contacted the seller to ask if there is a maker's name on the beds. Thanks again!
DeleteNo problem. :) I am slowly reading all your posts from the time you first started. So you will get replies from me from time to time. LOL Did you see my question on the book? Its the Ginnie and the Mystery Doll one I think.

DeleteI hope you enjoy them! Comment as much as you want! Yes, I saw the other comment. I did some research on the book you mentioned, but I haven't figured it out yet.
DeleteOh I will! If I see any other queries by you and I find the stuff on Ebay, I will post a link. My apologies if you have already found something by this time. I keep ebay open while I read your posts so I can look the dolls up and see all kinds of pictures. :) I did find a children's book look up site and posted there, hope they find my book. It sounded like something your family would have loved to read. If I find it first, I will share the title with you!
