My Childhood Fisher Price Doll House! Thrift Store Sightings!

 


Hi Doll Friends!

So I was on the Facebook the other day and what should pop up in my feed? A Poshmark ad for...


  *drum roll*


The exact same doll house I got  in 1982 for Christmas & my Birthday when I was 10 years old! 
I say for my birthday and Christmas is because it was pretty expensive (for the time) and since I wanted it so badly my mother said I could have it if it counted as both. It was made by Fisher Price and had actual working lights! I loved it. Here is a post about it from This Old Toy Blog. Rather than plunking down the $75 the Poshmark seller wanted for it, instead I just screenshot the photos they had in the ad so I could come show you here. 
Isn't it so cool! I loved the balcony and the way it had a bay window... I got nearly every item of furniture they made for it at the time. So it was so neat to see it again. 

The other day at the thrift store I happened to see the two Glitter Girls in the photos below... It was all I could do to leave Tippi, who was was still in the box, there. But I did. I have too many dolls so I decided to leave it there for some other person to buy. She had lavender eyes...!! Or that is how they looked in the store. She's described as having brown eyes on the Glitter Girls website so I suspect they'd 'turned' that color. In hindsight I wish I'd have taken a more close up photo but I was fighting the temptation to buy her and had to snap a photo and walk away! Hahaha! 

Did you have a doll house when you were young? Do you have one now? 

Better run!

Wellie Wisher Willa Thrift Store Score!



Hi Doll Friends!!

Had to come say a quick hello and show you my most recent thrift store score! 
I've always wanted the Wellie Wisher doll named Willa... I have so many dolls though and three of the Wellie Wishers. I got Ashlyn first, then came Emerson, and recently I got Kendall... So spending $65 for another doll when I have so many just never seemed right. However, recently I went to a thrift store and low and behold what do I see? Willa!! Sitting there in part of her original outfit! For only $6.99! So how could I not! I had to bring her home. Still need to brush out her hair and put a skirt and wellies on her so she'll feel more comfortable but... What a fun find! I also found the three pairs of shoes in photos below her for 99cents each and had to pick them up. Below that are the things I saw and smiled at but didn't buy. Have you had any recent thrift store scores? Tell me about them in the comments! 

Gotta run!

Our Generation Festive Feast Playset; A Review Three Years Later

 


Hi Doll Friends!

It's almost Thanksgiving!

How does your family celebrate? Tell me in the comments? What is your favorite tradition or food? I love Green Bean Casserole myself... And dressing!! Not stuffing, dressing! I moved to Alabama in 2020 and discovered the difference. I never liked stuffing but dressing..? I could eat an entire 13x9 inch pan of it all by itself. Haha. 

Speaking of Thanksgiving... It's been over three years since I originally bought a really cute set from Our Generation called "Festive Feast"... Or actually I apparently bought two of them. I unboxed them at the time and put them aside to take photos of and write a post about them. Then... My life sort of fell apart and I ended up moving across the country... Well since I've been slowly putting my Doll Room together again I want to show you some of the fun stuff I've found in the unpacking. 


This set is so cute!! 
I guess I must've really thought so since I bought two of them for some reason. Hahaha.
I seem to remember I wanted a whole 'set' of the dishes, enough for a four place settings. 




When I unpacked the sets I kept the little cardboard cutout photo from the box... Then put them in this little plastic storage box and didn't open it again for over three years. 
Life is so funny sometimes, isn't it. 


Here it is, packed in it's little box. 


And here are Gasper and Robyn are posing with it all set up on a table in the Doll House. They are both wearing dresses made by the talented Goofy that I got years ago as a gift from Frann. 💗The background is, you may have guessed, from Temu. Isn't it pretty?)

So... There is the Festive Feast set. 
Sadly I am not sure it can be found anywhere anymore... 
I looked on eBay and couldn't find it... 
Target didn't have a listing for it when you click the link from the Our Generation link. 
So I hope I'm not being rude showing it to you now... 
"Oh look! Isn't this set neat? Too bad you can't get one!" 
Lame? I hope not. 
But it's too cute not to show it to you. It's a quandry. 

I better go!

Our Generation Mirna; New Doll In The Doll House and a Rice Cooker too!

 


Hi Doll Friends,

I finally caved and had to get a doll with this adorable dimpled face sculpt from Our Generatrion. Our Generation Mirna was the one of them that I finally decided to get. She is so beautiful. As soon as she arrived I couldn't help myself but to get her out and take photos of her. 

Since there was a Buy-One-Get-One half-price sale going on when I bought her I also decided to grab the Our Generation Sushi Supreme set at the same time. It comes with a rice cooker that has a working light and 'beeps' when it's done. How fun is that? I spent my early 20's in Hawaii where all the local people have a rice cooker just like this in their kitchen. So it made me all nostalgic. Had to happen.

Better run!
