Creating a Dream Home For Barbie Doll Collectors This Mother’s Day With Amish Solid Wood Curio Cabinets

 Cultural icon Barbie has yet to become a mom herself but mothers and daughters all love the widely popular Barbie doll. For half a century Barbie has been gaining popularity faster than a small town homecoming queen. While she was meant to be a dress-up doll for children, she soon became a fashion symbol for adults as well. Her popularity is so dominant in cultures around the world that many fans are full time collectors. Amish built curio cabinets make an excellent, high end choice for displaying any Barbie collection.

Over the 50 years vinyl Barbie has reigned queen over the doll kingdom she has transformed herself and her careers time and time again. This enviable attribute has caused her to accumulate many different styles and uncountable accessories. These accessories, no matter how small, can take up a lot of storage space. The sheer magnitude of her expansive wardrobe and paraphernalia requires the perfect storage and display options.

As if the vinyl version was not enough Barbie now comes in high quality porcelain and collectors love them. In 1986 the marketing geniuses at Mattel Toys launched The Barbie Porcelain Collection. These hand numbered, limited editions, authentically certified dolls are so stunning that they could stand alone as sculpture. Using original sculpting, face paints, costuming and hairstyles they are flashes from the past series of Barbies.

So enthralling is the world of Barbie that clubs have sprung up across the world, including huge conventions and events. Mattel estimates that there are well over 100,000 avid Barbie collectors. There is now a stand alone Barbie store in China that’s serves pink Barbie themes martinis for big girls.

This Mother’s Day consider encouraging your Barbie Fanatics collecting. For many die-hard Barbie consumers she is not just a fashionista dressed by the likes of Bob Mackie and coiffed by Maurice Franck. Barbie can also represent a financial investment worth admiring. A wonderful gift for your Barbie doll connoisseur would be a showcase for her prized figures. Amish designers and craftsman create custom curio cabinets in styles from traditional to contemporary, all in solid hardwoods and fabulous stain options. Barbie isn’t the only one who deserves a dream house.
