Doll Sightings At The Thrift Stores!

Hi Doll Friends!

I know I am always apologizing for not posting as often as I once did but here is me, once again, saying sorry that it's been a while... 

Here are a few things I've seen out and about at thrift stores lately!

I almost bought this bear for the sweater but then decided against it. Hmmm... Not sure why, it's a cute sweater and would've probably fit on the dolls. Oh well, I'd have felt bad leaving him with no sweater to keep warm now that it's been getting colder. 

More Our Generation Horses... I have several horses already and so I left them there. 

The grey one was very tempting though... Cos I don't have a gray horse!

I thought this little gal had a cute face. 

This cow was so tempting! I thought and thought about it but he was like $8 and I was slim on cash that day. So cute though! 

Another cute doll I saw... 

More cute porcelain dolls... 

This one especially! She's adorable! 

And even more porcelain dolls!

What cute little chairs... I actually bought the smaller ones. Teehee.

Even more porcelain dolls...!

I thought these grown man dolls were interesting.

I thought they were crazy to be wanting $69.99 for this doll. 

I mean I don't think they were that much when they were new. 

And another horse....

And more dolls... 

A cute gardening cart. 

A cute hurricane lamp. 

Cute Precious Moments dolls! 

Another Madame Alexander doll...

Not a horrible price but she needed lots of work!

And a very cute BFC Inc doll (I think) but I had a few of these. I actually think they may still be in my basement in a box of dolls I have meant to get rid of and/or perhaps sell but I am horrible at following thru on such things... *sigh* Oh well... 

Better run because I have another post I want to get done before I am out of time!

Best Friends Club Ink Doll Riding A Horse Guns Blazing!

Hi Doll Friends!

I love it when my daughter plays with the dolls and leaves things set up when she is done... As you may recall, I recently got a BFC Ink Doll at a Garage Sale for $2. Well, I went ahead and re-wigged her and my daughter liked how she came out... So she decided to dress her up for a horse ride! She went with guns blazing too! Haha! So, I had to take a photo of it for you. 

Have a great weekend!!

Weekend Thrifty Finds!

Greetings Doll Friends!

Summer is always busy... Busy in a totally different way than the school year but busy. 

So I am behind on posting! Last weekend my daughter and I went thrifting and here are some of my finds!

I got this sled for only a dollar I think it may be way too big but I can always re-donate it to the thrift store.

Aurora finally got a wheelchair! She's been great on crutches but it'll be so nice to have chair too. It was only $3 at a Garage Sale!

Not sure what this box will be but it was only $.99 and just the right size for a possible doll table!

Then I got these two dolls... I am not the biggest fan of BFC Inc. dolls because their hair is always a nightmare. But she was only two dollars so I figured I'd risk it. The little blonde all was only $.50 and I really bought her just for clothes. Since I picked her up though she's kind a growing on me so I think I might actually put a different wig on her and keep her? We will see...

Well that's it for now doll friends!

Till next time!

BFC Ink Clothes for Sasha Doll Zoey

Hi there Doll Friends!

Recently the kids and I went to the Flea Market and stopped into our favorite vendor, a lady who sells random toys. She often has Littlest Pet Shop toys in either bags or by the eaches to make my daughter happy and often has Lego Mini Figures for my son. She also often has random doll clothes that she generally charges about 50cents a peice for! So I always ask her about doll clothes. Her son brought out this set. She said it was a $1. SOLD. I wasn't even sure who it would fit, if any, of my dolls but it was such a cute outfit, I figured it would fit someone! Helps to have a bit of a diverse doll collection. Teehee.

As I was glancing through my dolls and glancing at the outfit, I immediately noticed how perfect it would be in size for Zoey, my Sasha doll. In case you haven't read the story of her homecoming, you can find it here. She will probably always be one of my most amazing 'finds' and I will never ever get rid of her! Love her to bits. 

The amazing part is the shoes fit like they were made for her!! So cute! I had to know more about this outfit?! It fit so well, I thought "Whoever it was made for, I am certain they made more!" and so I did some research, starting with the stamped letters in the shoe. The internet is an amazing place because in no time at all, I had found this:

It was a set made for the BFC Ink Dolls. They are hard to find clothes for and so I am pretty sure unless I find another random set at a thrift store, garage sale or flea market, this will be my only set. Bummer! I wanted to get Zoey more shoes!

Look how well they fit!

This little bit of information is what helped me find it. Did I mention the internet is awesome?

Here is a photo of a BFC Ink doll wearing the shoes. I actually own this doll and own that little swimsuit. In storage. *sigh* 

Isn't she lovely in it!? Such a fun find!

Till Next Time,

#GirlsLife 18" Doll Harper from Kohl's

Greetings Doll Friends!

As you may realize, I am always on the lookout for 14-20" dolls. Second hand, new, vintage or modern, I am always on look out out for good candidates for the Doll House to tell you about. So, as I was reading a doll blog one day, a writer mentioned she had purchased one of her dolls at Kohl's. Kohl's! There is a Kohl's five minutes from my house! So I drove over there one day to check it out. Not a thing! I mean, toys to be sure but only preschool ones mostly... So, I scratched them off my mental list as a 'source' and didn't think much more about it. 

Fast forward to my dear husband needing socks and underwear. We ran out to Kohl's to pick some up and low and behold the clerk said "such and such a sale is also good ONLINE" *light bulb goes off* So we go home and I go check their website for 18" dolls... First all I saw was Madame Alexander variety. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Madame Alexander and that is probably the sort of doll I was reading about in original blog that made me realize Kohl's may have dolls. However, I have several already and don't need another (unless one finds me at a Thrift Store and then all bets are off!) However, scrolling down, I came across this little lady:

"Huh? Who are you?!" Cute outfit! Pretty face! 18" inches... #GirlsLife Doll? Never heard of them?!

Look at that cute hat?! 

See her sister dolls? How have I missed these before now? There are four of them!

This one was my second favorite... I think. I still can't decide!

I love her glasses and cute style!

This one is pretty too except for her unfortunate choice in lip color. If I got her, she would have new shade as soon as possible. Then she would be drop dead gorgeous!

I mean look at that hair!

Then there is the blonde one. As most of you know (maybe?) I generally always chose dolls that are not blonde haired and blue eyed. Why? Well, one, that is what I look like. Boring! I've been looking at that color combo my whole life. Second? Nearly every doll ever made when I was a kid had that exact coloring and again, boring. So... Sorry blonde dolls of world. Unless I find you really cheap, you'll not be joining Doll House. I digress... 

She is pretty though, I'll give her that. 

So... Then I realize she is on sale, no less. AND the sale the clerk told me about would make her 15% off that. So, you guessed it. Harper is on her way. She will be here between October 1st and 6th! I HAD to buy her! As a public service to the doll community! Because I can not find one WORD of information about these dolls ANYWHERE. It's like they don't exist other than in the depths of Kohl's website?! So... Let's check them out. Pretty sure if I like the way they're made, that pretty girl in glasses will be coming home at some point too. Ha! They seem to be similar in body type to BFC Ink and Disney Princess and Me dolls. We shall see... We shall see...

Till next time!

PS I just found this photo of the dolls with the little girl who modeled for their packaging. I can't find any other information or even these photos in her Instagram but it showed a photo of the doll in the box!
