Our Generation Jeep and Scooter Thrift Store Find

Doll Friends!

I went to a thrift store in a small town a few weeks ago and I noticed this Our Generation Jeep and Our Generation Scooter out on the 'porch' of the store. It looked like they'd been stored out on a porch for a while... Pretty dirty and faded like they'd been in the sun. Still, I asked how much they wanted for them. When she told me $2 for the Jeep and $1 for the scooter... What can I say? I couldn't say no! I plan to powerwash them and, with the Jeep, experiement with some plastic spray paint once it's nice enough to do it outside. I am thinking I'll make it white. Like my real jeep in the real world. 

How fun! 

I think the scooter I'll just leave alone... It just looks like it's a pale pink scooter even though I think it probably used to be a bit darker. 

I better run. How is it nearly 11pm already! Good gracious time flies!

New With Tags Our Generation Vespa Goodwill Find for Frann!

Hi Doll Friends!

Maybe you recall when I recently found the Our Generation Scooter at Goodwill for $3.99. Well, at the time, I thought how fun it would be to have two so that dolls could take rides together. Well, low and behold, what did I find recently at Goodwill?

That's right. Another Our Generation Vespa Scooter! This one still even had the tags on it and the packaging from where the helmet came with it! (Trust me, I looked and looked for helmet but no dice!) This one was a bit more spendy than the first one, likely because it still had original tags on it. It was $7.99 which is 75% off the new price at Target. So, still a pretty good deal, eh?

So naturally I consider this one to be Frann Doll's vespa and the first one will be Heather Doll's! What adventures they are going to have on these sweet little scooters!

See? It even came with the original tag! 

Unreal what people give away, right? Why not just take it back to the store? But I am glad they do so I can buy them at good prices and come and show them to you fine people and use them for photos! Win win!

Better run!

Thrifting Lately; What I Left Behind and What I Brought Home!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!

I generally pop into my two favorite thrift stores every time I head into town when I go in for other errands or appointments. So this post is to catch you up on things that I've seen while out... Mind you, this is over several months, so keep that in mind because to have seen all this at one time at one thrift store on one day would've been out of this world. 

As you can see above, I saw this gorgeous Journey Girl Doll but... Given that I have way way too many dolls at this point and have about three Journey Girl Kelsey's in my collection at this point. Seeing the photo right now, I am having a tiny bit of regret because she's so pretty and had such a great outfit on but I'm sure some other lucky doll collector found her and was just as thrilled to get her as I might have been should I not have so many dolls already. 

I very often see Doll Horses... I don't really have room to store them anymore though so they always stay at the store. Maybe someday I'll have more room for such things again but as it is, I just don't have the room. I'm also trying to stay off the Hoarding show too! Hahaha. 

These two little dolls (above) were so cute and while they aren't the type I collect I just had to snap a photo because they made me smile. 

Oh my goodness it was hard to resist buying these two lovely ladies. The one on the right has the beautiful recent sculpt from Our Generation but... again, I have more than a few of that sculpt in my collection already and I only have so much room. Then there is the City Pals 14 inch doll... It was hard to resist buying her because I don't know if they will ever be released again. However, I already own every one of them that was released and... well... I only have so much room... 

 

You can also see that she had a hole in her cloth body... I could've mended her but...

Only so much time and so much room and I have more than a few dolls awaiting makeovers in my Doll House already! 

This doll was in her original meet outfit... It always surprises me so much when I see a doll that's never even been changed out of her meet outfit! I imagine it is when a doll is gifted to a girl who just isn't into dolls all that much.... What?! But I guess that's a thing. 

Hahaha. 

Again... 

This doll was so hard to pass up... She, again, has that gorgeous new sculpt... But again, I have loads of this sculpt already. 

Holy moly... This day that I went it was crazy how many 18inch dolls there were!! 

This is the My Life As Doll Washer and Dryer set... Again... NO more room!!

Another scooter... I love the colors on this one, purple and orange! I love when they don't make every single doll thing PINK. 

I love the little lockers but this one had fur on it and... Well, thats kind of weird. 

Another horse...

This doll made me smile! I had her when I was a girl... She is a My Baby Beth, a Fisher Price Doll. I had to take her photo so I could show her to ya'll. 

This was tempting because it was an actual American Girl Doll Salon Chair. 

Sadly it was broken. It was super heavy and just so cool... But, broken. 

Yet another horse...

Dolls dolls dolls!!

These were porcelain dolls, not my thing at all but so unusual that I had to show them to you!

Pretty cute face sculpts!!

Now.... For what I have bought...?

I bought this bag of cute sheep... It'll be great for Becky's Barn or to go with Charlsea's pets for photos someday...

Oops, this is out of order, I didn't buy her... Cute outfit though! I almost did!

Now this one is one I did buy and one I didn't. I didn't buy the little dresser but I did buy the doll! She's an older version of Our Generation Doll that I don't think I have her face sculpt in my doll collection and so I couldn't resist! I'll hope to get her cleaned up and give you a better look at her soon! 

This I couldn't resist! I plan to hang it in the Doll Room! It makes me smile every time i look at it... I love that they are praying, that they are a doll with a photo of a 'real' girl' in background. It reminds me of Dare Wright's photos!

Lastly I had to buy this little tea set. It only had one cup but the shape of them was too unique to leave them there. Can't wait to set up a Tea Party to put them in the photos! 

That's it for now sweet Doll Friends!

New My Life As Doll Items At The Walmart And A Visit To The Thrift!

 

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends,

Long long long time no see! I don't think I've gone this long between posts since I started my blog in earnest. I am just in a very busy season of my life right now and am having such a hard time finding balance with regards to fitting in my beloved doll hobby. 

*sigh*

However I was in Walmart the other day and decided to go take a gander at what new things there might be in the My Life As Doll section... And low and behold there were a few new items.

First off is the Hello Kitty Jeep (above). Isn't it adorable?

Next I saw thhis adorable radio controlled scooter with a side car for your dolls pet! How fun!

I think the unicorn is a repeat from prior years but still so cute. 

Cute table set with new food items I think?

I think the rainbow motif on the bedding is new too...?

I think they redesigned the salon chair. How sad is it that I've lost track of such things. 

I loved these little girlies skate outfits and curls!

This is a repeat for sure but it's just too cute not to photo.

The outfits were rather empty but it'll be fun to see what the new styles are when they come in. 

This recliner pillow with a rainbow is so cute! 

And rainbows seem to be something they are featuring across the board, this time on these boots.

These are ones they've had before but I love them. 

Cute rainbow slippers. 

I almost bought these glitter jelly sandals cos how cute are they?

And I love these shoes in gray, they'd work for boy dolls too! 

And this pair of sandals were so cute! 

In order to make room for the new outfits they apparently marked down the last season styles. I have way too many doll clothes though so I didn't buy any.

These lip glosses were cute and would make fun accessories for dolls when you use up the lip gloss. 

Then these are the dolls and doll items I've seen recently in the thrift store. I haven't been going nearly as often lately. Just low on time and have way too much of everything already so don't need to be shopping for more!

That's it for now Doll Friends! Sorry for my lack of posting lately! I'll eventually get back to having more time, I can see it on the horizon! 

XXOO
