I went to the Cu doll show in Marietta Ga this past Sat. It was wonderful, I found all kinds of things I 'needed' . I found one of the new Brenda Starr dolls that Tonner redesigned & she reminds me a lot of Tyler Wentworth doll & I hope can wear her clothes..mine is the one in the polka dot swim outfit & she was $45 . I also got one of the Tonner 's jointed TW dolls that has the very curly blonde hair , dressed in white cotton underwear & called Sport Tyler, I think ...for just $35 & I know this is a good price..love that hair. When I brought her home, I dressed her in the long pink outfit I also bought & sat her in a gilded chair I have & she looks so neat, One sales lady took off a Tyler outfit from a doll she had on display..it's that pretty pink one with the long taffeta like skirt & a pink sweater set,... second issue in that the beads on the sweater aren't just pink but a mix of lt. brown, pink & white which makes them more visible..& let me have it cheaper than usual. There's also a woman there who redesigns dolls & sells their outfits very cheaply but they're usually missing something ..I got Tyler's long , slim, silvery gray eve. dress with the stole & roses but minus shoes & jewelry for- $10. & I got 2 nude Gene dolls whose face paint had been removed & so are faceless, for $5 each . Plus found a set of Darci & Erica dolls, this last one I've been looking for forever...for $20 for them both. And for $2, a bag of stuff that including a 70's Skipper dress but the real find in there was from the Barbie old store display from about the 80's..has the white plastic , non colored, bust of Barbie, that hats are to be displayed on & a white. plastic hand that jewelry was supposed to be displayed from plus a mirror & other display items that all sat ontop of the Barbie display cases ..now & then I come across a display case in the thrift store but you never find these display pieces that afix to the top of the cases. I got a mint set of Midge wigs for $75. Also Charles Joseph designed these neat little wigs in all colors & sizes to fit, Barbie, Tyler, & Cissy I think. & got one of those for Barbie, a short Red number. I got the 35th Annivers. Ken in black...almost missed out on getting him...I really wanted that mini Ken that comes in with his little box. I got a Modern Circle Barbie for $25 , she was selling more expensively than the other 3 Mod. Circle friends which you could get for just $15. Got doll stands , 12 for $11 , good price.
But my question is, does any one know how to remove the vintage Midge wigs which have melted into the stands. Think putting them in the freezer would help? Maybe close to a source of heat? They won't just pop off unfortunatly
thanks Pat H.
Pat, Sounds like you had quite a day... Congratulations on all your "finds". I know someone who's going to have fun playing dollies. Melissa
