Recent Thrift Store Sightings From The Frosty Great Plains

Greetings And Salutations Doll Friends!

I am so buried in blog drafts and get more and more overwhelmed by the enormity of catching up... So I am here to tread water and try and get a few posted. My life has taken so many bad turns this year to where I am loosing more faith in myself by the day... But I keep treading water... 

One thing that has kept me sane, or at least created bubbles of sane, is when I'm able to loose myself into a thrift store. Treasure hunting takes my mind off my 'real life' being mostly in shambles... 

I am so 'off' that I can't even remember, lately, which things I've purchased and which I haven't... Good grief. I literally had to go and look in my dolls to see, for sure, if I bought this Our Generation Doll (above). I did, apparently. I even cleaned her up... Here I am wondering what I did with the PJ's she's wearing...? I'll have to take a photo of her all cleaned up, she's dressed and looking very pretty now. 

I thought this doll was interesting so I took her photo. I think she was about 16inches tall. 

I bought this chair... It's small... I think it will work for the Paola Reina Dolls...?

I thought this baby doll bed was interesting... Baby dolls aren't my thing though... 

I have several Salon Chairs or I might've scooped this one up...

More forlorn porcelain dolls... I wonder what will happen to them as more and more of them are donated to thrift stores and they just sit there...? So sad. 

I really really wanted to buy the table and chairs there on the top shelf but on this day I was just browsing in a store and literally had no way to carry them out of there because I had to walk back to my Jeep and it would've been impossible... I plan to stop back into this store the next time I am in the neighborhood but I'll be very surprised if they are still there. Bummer!!

These 'lamps' were adorable.... They are actually old school Avon purfume bottles and I am sitting here kicking myself for not having bought at least the 'stained glass' one... Ugh. Haha. 

Cute apple tea set... 

I thought about this one for the entire time I was in the store because it was in same one that I had to walk a ways back to my Jeep from... And.... I bought it and lugged it back. Haha. It was only $3.00!!

More forlorn porcelain... 

This little trike stayed there though... It was too small for my dolls really and I coudn't have carried it along with the other one (and the rest of the things I bought) too... 

Cute little bench... WHY didn't I buy it?!

More forlorn porcelain... 

Another cool wood bench I might've bought if I had had a way to get it home that day...

Creepy forlorn porcelain...!

Cool old Barbie clothes case...

I thought this Moana doll had a pretty face... 

I smiled to see this Melissa & Doug washer and dryer... They really do work well for the dolls... I gave mine away to a good friend with granddaughters because I got a different more 'realistic' one since then...

I did buy these bracelets recently... You'll see them in upcoming posts as I put them on dolls for knecklaces. 

Well, sorry this was probably a disjointed mess but I'm stumbling thru this valley in my life as best as I can... Throw a prayer up for me if you are the praying sort. I can take all the prayer I can get. 

XXOO
