Gotz Doll Thrift Score Score!!


Hi Doll Friends!

I recently went by a thrift store and what did I find but a Gotz Doll for only $2.88!
I also got a Journey Girl for the same price. 


They were both pretty dirty and needed a bit of work but, you know me, I love doing doll makeovers!



I still haven't had a chance to work on the Journey Girl Doll but the Gotz Doll came out perfectly!!


She is so pretty!!


I love her!!
Given that these dolls go for around $100 on Pottery Barn Kids I am so stoked to have gotten her for such a great deal! So I had to come here and show her to you!

Have to run!

Heidi Ott Faithful Friends eBay Score!


Hi Doll Friends,

It's been a bit since I posted... 
Life has really been... Well, hard. Life has been hard. 
I mean 2020 has been hard for everyone though right? 
Everything I ever thought life would be or become has been turned on it's head this year. 
Every. Single. Thing.
Perhaps my problem was having expectations in the first place. 
I don't know. Suffice to say I've been struggling to deal with the reality of my life and my sweet little blog here is feeling the hit. So, sorry about that. 

Well, I should back up and thank Jesus for even getting me to this day. Because without Him I might've just lay down on the bed and quit trying at all. 
So praise Jesus!

So, when trying to keep my head above water, I often go out 'researching'...
Or rather keeping an eye on my 'watched' items on eBay. 
Teehee. 
Mostly I just look for deals that are unheard of which are much more rare now than they were like 20 years ago when I joined eBay...
But sometimes...
You find a great one. 


So when I saw this Heidi Ott Faithful Friend doll listed on an auction for $5.00 starting bid plus shipping... (And reasonable shipping at that!)
I knew I had to at least bid on her!
So I did. I bid like $5 and change. Figuring I wouldn't get her but it couldn't hurt to try and then...
I won the auction!! I was shocked! 


So here she is. Isn't she beautiful? I love love love Heidi Ott dolls. I have several as you can read about here.


Most of the Heidi Ott Faithful Friends I've gotten in the past I've given body transplants to because I don't really like the body type they came up with on these dolls. But I also love the sculpt on the hands and feet of them and those are lost when they get an Our Generation Doll body... So I might just let this little lady keep her original body... I don't know, time will tell. I do know she's going to get a new wig though. Heidi Ott Faithful Friends were very well done in most every detail, their costuming was amazing and of course the Heidi Ott sculpt is gorgeous. But they wanted to make them afforable to the masses and, I think, the one place they had to skimp on quality was on the wig. 



In fact, as I am writing this, this little lady has already gotten a new wig... Teehee. She looks amazing in it too! I'll have to show her to you soon. Here she is dressed in some contemporary clothes. 
Isn't she cute and pretty? 


So I am so glad to have added her to my collection. 
Side note, the quilt she is standing in front of? My Grandma made that. Isn't it BEAUTIFUL? It's one of my most precious items in all the world. 


I better run.
