I’m A Girly Dolls; I May Have Gone Overboard… But How Could I Not?

Hi Doll Friends!!

How. Could. I. Not?

In my last blog post, I mentioned these beautiful dolls I found on Amazon.com...

They were such an amazing deal I almost felt like it must be a mistake.

So I ordered... One... of... each...

Yeah... I know, I am meant to be weeding out my doll collection, not getting more. 

I just couldn't help myself. 

Here are some photos of them, they are just so pretty!

Just had to come show you.
I'll get a better 'review' up eventually.

I'm determined!

Pleasant Company American Girl Doll Score At Goodwill For 99Cents!!

 Doll Friends!!

My sweet daughter and I went by a Goodwill on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving... And low and behold but what did my clever girl find? An American Girl Doll for only 99cents!! I am sure the reason she was marked so low is because she is marked Pleasant Company on the back of her kneck instead of American Girl Doll because I think she might be one of the original Kirsten's from back before American Girl Doll was even called that. Pleasant Company is the name of the company that became American Girl Doll. 

So it was even more of a score!!

She was in pretty great shape too! 

(She was naked when we found her but I threw on a robe so she wouldn't be so cold!) 

As you can see, her limbs are pretty tight... Only one leg droops a bit... 

See here is the mark on her neck...

The fabric of her body is very top notch and her limbs are a bit different plastic than I've seen before...? They are more sturdy feeling but also have a tiny bit of 'give' to them, like they are part rubber? I don't know... Maybe I'm imagining it? 

No 'side tag' on her... And see what I mean about the fabric? It's very very sturdy muslin!

And there is her tag, 99cents!! Amazing! I suspect one reason she was on the shelf is the day we went was the day before Thanksgiving and I suspect that most people were out at the grocery, not the Goodwill! So I think I am going to make a tradition of going to Goodwill the day before Thanksgiving every year! 

Here she is all cleaned up!

I am going to give her a new wig... And low and behold...

Beautifully Custom had a fantastic sale on Black Friday... Above are the three wig's I thought might work. I sent them in a text to my daughter to have her pick because she found the doll! I assumed she'd pick the middle one but wasn't sure. 

I liked this one best of the three...

Sadly the one she liked best was sold out by the time she texted back about a half hour later and told me. Rats! So... I bought both of the other two. Haha.

Since they were selling like hotcakes I decided to buy a third on an impulse. This one is really pretty and honestly would likely be the one that makes the most sense on the doll... So we shall see what I do when I get a chance to try the wigs on. 

I wrote the bulk of this blog a few days ago but am just getting here today to finish it up. So many blog posts in the works, just in various stages of completion. I'm determined to eventually get back to writing more often but this has just been a tough year. So glad New Years will be here and we'll get a fresh brand new year!

I better run!

Our Generation Has Done It Again...! New Dolls Released At Target

Doll Friends!

Our Generation sure has my number.

Every single year I say

"I won't buy a bunch of dolls when they release new ones this year!"

Then...

They release the dolls. 

I want one of each of them!!

This new boy Franco is awesome!

This girl is named Macy... Isn't she adorbs? 

I think this one is named Samoyed? Right? In any case, she's really pretty!

And they finally released Bina in the USA!

I LOVE THIS GIRL! I WANT HER!

And this girl, named Amalia too!!

This girl with the dog has striking eyes!

Heck, I want her as well... Did I mention I want one of each of them? 

LOL

I forgot to take a second screen shot of this movie director doll.... I wish they'd show her without her glasses...

Then there are a few new accessories!! This Pergola is pretty cute but I am not sure I'd want it? Wonder how 'heavy' it is? Would it hold dolls and swing without tipping over?

I LOVE THIS SET TOO! Oh my goodness. I am going to be broke.

So I decided I couldn't wait and I had some cash in my purse and so off I ran to Target... 

Or two Targets actually and...

Nada.

Except I did see this cute set...

So to console myself, I ran by Goodwill. As luck would have it, I found this bag of doll clothes and shoes for only $3.00! Nice! It even has a pair of Wellie Wisher shoes!

Then... As I was thinking about the newer dolls and the ones I wanted I remembered also have recently decided my Samorn needed a new wig. Why? Well, her hair was plugged very thin in my opinion. I mean most Our Generation Dolls are fabulous with their hair but, as you can see, not so much with this doll...

So I looked thru my wig bag and discovered I still had one of the wigs I bought a while ago for just such an occasion... It was blonde but a couple of the dolls I really liked had this face sculpt with blonde hair so I figured I'd try it on and see what I thought. 

And...

I love love love it! I think she looks fabulous!! 

What do you think?

Better run!
