Doll Sized Thrifting Finds Lately... The Ones I Bought and The Ones I Left Behind...

Hi Doll Friends,

Just a few photos of things I've seen in Thrift Stores recently... Both those I 'left behind' and those I brought home! First, the ones I left behind...

Cool globe but it was $4 and I was a bit low on cash when I happened to find it... (Meaning I had already bought my limit that day...) Kind of kicking myself now cos it was so cool and perfect but you can't buy all the things, right? 

This doll lamp made me smile. Not my style but still sweet.

This cute tea set...! But... I have so many tea sets... 

This hobby horse was cute... 

Another tea set...

Again, not my style of doll but I thought I'd take a photo to show them to you. 

I am kicking myself for not buying this mannequin... Bummer. 

And I totally should've bought those baskets. 

*sigh*

I thought about this swing... But it was huge!

Yet another tea set...!

This cute eskimo doll was cute... But again not my style. 

Then there is what I bought.... 

I've been looking for a 'podium' for a church I am planning for the Doll House... When I saw this tissue holder I thought it would be perfect if I could find the right size of wood to cover the hole. Ironically enough I found just the right board within days of finding the tissue holder. 

What do you think ? I think I might add a wooden cross to the front but I don't know for sure... Still, I think it will work well enough as it is. 

I found this bag of doll items for only $1 at the half price day of the same sale I got all the teddy bears at. Great deal! Just the brush was a great deal!

These hats will fit the Wellie Wisher sized dolls. 

I just couldn't resist these... 

More fabric...

I can never resist doll sized Tupperware! This is four purple plates. 

Some tea sets I couldn't resist... They were in zip lock bags just sitting on the shelves! I almost bought them just to keep them from getting totally broken! I love the little pewter unicorn and the piano is going to be a 'jewelry box' on a doll dresser. The little dutch shoes were from a garage sale and I just love them!

A few of the items did get chipped and broken from being so haphazardly thrown on the shelf. 

These are the right size for all my mini dolls... So the dolls can throw tea parties for their dolls!

These were also just thrown up on a shelf, the two goblets in a ziplock baggie and the gorgeous pitcher just sitting there jumbled in with a bunch of stuff that could've broken it so easily! 

Isn't it gorgeous!?

and it was only 99c!

Can't. Resist. Little. Bottles!!

Another carrying case... I had four but I carry so many dolls with me to photo shoots that another will be handy!

Only $3.99!

This cute little Princess & Me tea set was one I couldn't resist if only to show it to ya'll...

That's it for now! 

Have a great day!

Goodwill and Thrift Store Sights and Scores!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!

When I go to town and have one in the neighborhood I am in, I generally always stop in to the Goodwill or thrift shop. It's like treasure hunting almost because I've found some amazing stuff at them in the past! Recently, over the last six months to a year, I have tried to get more realistic about how much room I have in my Doll Room. So I decided I can only buy things at Thrift if they are absolutely 'original' in that I don't already own one or two or four... Teeheehee. So when I go now, I mostly just take photos. So here are some of the things I've seen most recently in my Goodwill adventures. Obviously, above, is an Our Generation doll that I left for some other person to find and take home to love. 

This one was so adorable and... I actually put it in my cart for a little bit but it was really pretty big and people don't have TVs like this anymore... But it is cute!

This I passed on because I already have two styling chairs. Cute stripes though!

I'd never seen a Whoopsie Doll before...? Have you?

This little doll bed was so cute!! It was probably a tiny bit too big for 18inch dolls in that I think it was more like 20-22inch from head to foot. But still.... Pretty cute!

It reminded me of the song by John Denver entitled "Grandma's Feather Bed".

 I was good and left it there. 

I thought this fella was interesting both in the face sculpt and the HUGE hands. Right?

I let him be my 'model' to show this little hobby horse... The boy doll is about 16 inches tall. It would've been cute for the doll house but I already have a rocking horse and so left it there. 

This would've been cute for a 'carnival scene'! Looking at it now, I am like 

"WHY didn't I buy that?!? "

Thrift shop regrets are the worst! Not really but why?

LOL

This little lady almost got purchased just 'because'... She's a german made dolls in the style of Gotz dolls and... I do love them ever so much. But...

I was good and left her there. 

However, I do buy some things... like this little grouping I got recently. I am bummed seeing the Halloween sweater because I completely forgot to use it in my Halloween post. Rats. Oh well, always next year. The Tupperware mug is totally adorable and in the 1970s olive green I had in my own house growing up. The angklets/bracelets I use as knecklaces for the dolls. The coffee grinder needs no explaination because oh-my-cute, right? The little knitted sweater/coat was only 50cents and so I figured I'd try it on a doll... Maybe? I can always redonate. The scissors? Because for some reason, in my house, scissors fall into a black hole or something because I can never find them even though I know I've purchased dozens of pairs. Haha. So I often buy cheapies like this to put in the 'pencil' cup so perhaps my kids'll grab them first before they take my good ones from my craft tote. Eh?

I better run! Where oh where does the time go?
