That didn't produce tears of boredom, Kathy, but it did produce a few tears of happiness thinking about all your heavenly goodies. What a wonderful windfall you had. Is the Evening Enchantment dress you mentioned the red one with the flames on it and feathers?
I haven't bought many dollies lately, but did send away to Hong Kong for some Obitsu dolls. They just arrived today and the glamour model blew me away - her chest, which is very large, is soft. Soft! Can you imagine that? I can't wait to see what she looks like in clothes (I think I have that Candi bondage outfit from Mikelman around somewhere. lol).
I also found some wonderful accessories at a flea market while I was vacationing in Canada last month. One item was a vintage stereo for the Sindy doll. It still had the headphones, records, and 8-track tapes. I nearly choked trying to suppress my excitement while approaching the stall owner to ask price, then almost fainted when she said only wanted $5 for it (Canadian $5!). I was a very happy gal.
Well, that's it for me. Hope everyone is having a lovely dolly summer.
RobinHI All,
Boy have I been a bad girl recently. The mail box has been flooded with
dolls. I have recently gotten Goddess of the Artic ( at Amazon for
$69.95!) Very pretty doll and at that price well worth it. I think I
would have been really peaved if I had spent the $200 retail on her, as I
was totally not amused by the beads being plastic on the fringe. Sheesh,
crystal is NOT that expensive.
Yesterday I just got my Chic Escape from Suzanne. Absolutely adorable
doll. Great little accessories, and she is just so pretty. The shoes are
the just the cutest thing. I can hardly wait to redress this one. Hey,
she might look incredible in our upcoming Candichat fashion! Can't wait to
see the pics of that.
Got several dolls on clearance at Walmart. Including a King Kong one.
She has really cute face paint. I wish she had been just a little
cheaper. I would have bought two. One to debox and play with as well, but
this is one of the few dolls that I think needs to stay in the box, as it
is so well done.
After all the whining about our Walmart NOT caring the Integrity line,
low and behold some showed up there. I picked up the Embassy ball Alyssa
to have one of the new face molds. She looks fairly pretty, and she was
only $6.97. I hope they will carry more of the play line in the future.
Had to go and find the Target Halloween dolls and get the Tommy in that
set. Those little dolls are so cute, and I get the boy one every year in
honor of my little Halloween " monster"
Now for the vintage goodies! ( told you I have been bad!) Found a
stunning vintage Babs dress, Evening Enchanment at our Savers for $2.00!
This dress is red chiffon with mirabou trim, and is almost impossible to
find, and this one was in wonderful condition. My friend Deb practically
had to revive me from the heart attack expierienced when I saw it. Found a
P.J head at a garage sale this weekend for $3.00 and best of all, my dear
mother in law showed up here yesterday with a darling little TnT Barbie
doll that she had found at a garage sale for $1.00 She was so pround of
herself for finally finding something good, that I think she was even
happier than I was! LOL She also brought me the cutest little set of
vintage Tammy underwear that she got at the same sale for a quarter.
All this, and our local doll shop closing, so I have been getting this
and that there. Got a couple of Gene fashions, and a bunch of miniature
Teddy bears. She had things 60% off, so it was hard to resist. I am going
to be on a budget for a little while. LOL
Hope I didn't bore you to tears, but no one around here understands why
I am having so much fun. LOL
