NoseyRose Antiques carries Vintage Midge

In 1963 Mattel introduced Barbies best friend, Midge. She came on a straight-legged body like Barbie and shared Barbies extensive wardrobe. Midge came in Blonde, Brunette and Titian hair and many girls liked her because she had freckles and cheerful features. NoseyRose Antiques has a variety of Midge Dolls as well as Vintage Barbie and Holiday Barbie! We carry Midge in Blonde, Brunette, Titian and Molded Head w/ Wig. Most of our Midges come dressed in a vintage tagged Barbie outfit and Brunette Midge has her original box, bathing suit bottom (she's missing her top), white open-toed Japan shoes and fashion booklet!

This Blonde Midge is beautiful and dressed in #951 Senior Prom. Her hair and makeup are excellent - a very pretty Midge! Check her out at NoseyRose Antiques and remember we will consider your serious offer or work to bundle items for a better deal~ we also combing shipping!

Molded Head Midge has her original orange headband and titian pigtails wig~she came dressed in #1606 Garden Tea Party which is hard to find. This Midge doll is on a SL body with rare painted legs and she comes with her original black wire stand and is in an unmarked box with clear cover.

Gosh, if only I had known then what I know now....Here's the story.  I'm 15 and I want to be a rock star.  I play acoustic guitar but I really want an electric guitar because in my fantasy world I'm going to be the next Nancy Wilson (from Heart)...or a female Jimmy Page (Zeppelin anyone?).  I'll sing like Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell and Christy McVie, I'll die my hair black and ride a motorcycle ...oh yeah. But I didn't have an electric guitar or an amp.  What I had was a neighbor who collected dolls and she had her eye on my case of vintage Barbies and clothes...so...here's the confession:  I sold my Barbie's for $75 and bought a used amp.  What a dummy.  I still remember the Barbies I owned and their vintage clothes.  I had a Fashion Queen...and she wore a complete 1966 Fashion Luncheon (#1656) outfit that I thought was ugly!  I had Skipper and a Sweet Sixteen Barbie with  original outfits and there were shoes and purses and wigs and.......and now I know what they were worth because I sell Vintage Barbie dolls and clothes....what a dummy.  Where's that amp, you ask?  Who knows, I don't even play guitar anymore...although I think about picking it up again sometimes.  So that's my story...when I was 15 those Barbies were junk but today....they are someones treasure and I could kick myself for not holding onto them.  Oh well.  What's your Junkque story?

How NoseyRose got its name

NoseyRose Antiques gets it name from a nickname we gave our daughter when she was a baby. A people watcher from day one, she would stare you down until you made eye contact and then she'd give you a big toothless smile! Years later we found some kittens in the yard and our daughter named one of them Rosie. Rosie turned out to be one of those cats that has to investigate everything in the room before she can settle down to her nap, thus inheriting the name NoseyRose. Rosie must stick her nose in every corner, every box, and all your business~ so it struck me that antiquing is so similar, isn't it? And thats how we got our name~ anyone who gets a thrill from digging through boxes at a flea market or bending down to see what's under that next shelf at the local thrift store knows what I mean~ you're curious... you're nosey ! You must know what's in there- because it could be that piece of American Art Pottery you've been looking for or that WWII insignia patch that will complete your collection! Well, thats what NoseyRose Antiques is all about~ finding that treasure you've been poking around for. So, get nosey- poke around our shops and see what you can find!
