Kindred Heart Thrift Find And Amazon Purchase!

Hi Doll Friends!!

So recently I went to the Thrift store... 

You know, just to browse... 

LOL

And what did I find...?

But a Kindred Heart Doll I didn't have in my collection!? She was a blonde one with brown eyes! That's a much more rare combination than blonde with blue eyes. 

So of course I snapped her up immdiately and brought her home. 

In the above photo is her in the store modeling a doll bed I wanted to show you but knew I didn't have room for currently. I think it was home made and was pretty cute. 

When I got her home I quickly snapped a photo of her before I started cleaning her up. 
Without my reading glasses on... Apparently. Hence it being very blurry! 

Teehee...

But here she is after she was all cleaned up... Isn't she gorgeous?!

I love her! Here she is wearing one of the outfits I got from Bili Doll clothes.

Finding her and bringing her home made me think to go look up Kindred Heart Dolls on Amazon...

Low and behold what did I find but...

This beautiful doll twin to my Syracuse Doll on sale for $21.00! 

I decided to buy her because she was dressed in an entirely new outfit than Syracuse arrived in and her outfit alone is worth nearly that and then Syracuse would have a twin. I will call her Monte, short for Montevallo. 

Here she is when she arrived. 

She is such a beautiful doll!

So then I decided to dress the two of them in twin outfits I gleaned from the recent Hobby Lobby Doll Clothes Clearance Sale and take photos I showed you in this post. 

  

So pretty!

I figured I'd show you the other dolls I saw at the thrift store the day I found the blonde Kindred Heart doll... Just to show you that I do have a modicum of self control! I don't buy all the dolls I see!!

I mean, I want to!! But I don't. 
Teehee.

Of course just as I am looking at the doll above I think to myself she looks to have the same unusual face sculpt I discussed in this post. Do you think so?? If she did I am bummed I didn't buy her.

 Rats. 

Then I think... This one looks like it too!? Maybe I'm imagining things...? 

Anyway... So yeah... Here are some of the ones I left behind. 

Here are some doll accessories I also left behind. 

Are you proud? 

Better run!

Maplelea Doll's Less Expensive Purchased Thru Their Website! **Updated**

 

Doll Friends!

I've always always always wanted a Maplelea Friends Doll with this face sculpt. However, they never were available via Amazon and I had long since given up on ever getting my hands on one. However, recently, on a flight of fancy, I decided to visit the Maplelea Doll website just to take a look at them again and admire them. On a fluke, I decided to just add one to a cart and see if they even shipped to the United States... And... They did!! Shipping was only $9!! So I threw caution to the fourwinds and just purchased one. I had wanted one for ever so long and it I just couldn't help myself! So... Imagine my suprise and delight when I noticed the amount taken from my bank acount was a whole lot less than the $124 I thought was going to be pulled (The dolls are $115 plus $9 shipping). Instead, only $96.29 was pulled! What?! Then I realized that the reason was that the $115 on the Maplelea Website was in Canadian dollars!! So, when converted to US Dollars, it was quite a lot less. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not happy that the good ol' US Dollar is valued at so much less than the Canadian dollar but I'll take my blessings where I can find them in this crazy year of 2020. 

So not only did I get a doll I had wanted for ever so long, I got her for a whole lot less than I would've paid should I have even ever been able to buy her on Amazon.com!

 Hallelujah! 

So if you're a US resident who has also wanted one of these beautiful dolls, might I suggest you go buy it at the Maplelea website itself! 
You won't be sorry. They are really top notch dolls! I love every single Maplea Doll I have in my collection and am so glad I have this new one!

So, Reader... 

Math has never been my strong suit... 
LOL

I had a reader point out that if the Maplelea Dolls were priced in Canadian dollars at $115 and they ended up being less then it would mean that the Canadian dollar is the one that is valued less, not the US dollar. Upon hearing this I was like "Oh, duh, that makes sense!" 

So... Sorry for any confusion! 
Like I say, Math? Not my strong suit.
