My thrift store trip yielded some really good finds! I’m always on the hunt for articulated bodies now. Thrift store are cheaper than purchasing
a new body! I will accept articulated arms only but if I can find legs and arms,
that is a plus. I came across two dolls with articulated arms.
First is a SIS Grace! If your saw my last post, I had a lot of Cara heads.
That is because more of my dolls are Cara's complexion that any of the rest
of the SIS dolls. I could use one or two more Cara bodies but I will take
the Grace.
I think her top is PJs and the botton is some type of pants but it has velcro in the back.
Maybe something attaches to the bottom of the pants. It seems a bit strange.
You may note that most of these dolls do need hair attention!
I also, found this doll.
Vacation wear?
I have noticed this face sculpt more and more in the
thrift stores. She must have been popular. I purchased her too. I have another
doll with this face but I can always use her body.
The outfit is kinda cute!
This doll was there too. I am not a fan of My Scene dolls and their large heads.
I could use the outfit and the legs might be part of a future leg transplant.
When I first started collecting dolls, one doll that I saw on the net but never
saw in person was Donny Osmond. I have thought about purchasing him
back then to add to my collection of men but never did. The price always
seemed more that I wanted to spend.
Well, look who I found in the thrift store for $ 3.00.
He went in my basket too. His head seems a little small for his body but the
ones on the net did too!
This was one of the few dolls Mattel made like this. (Some others were
AA Malibu Ken and Rocker Ken) I don't like the whole bent arm thing.
I might put him on a different or smaller (HSM) body but right now
I’m glad to add him.
I found this Teresa. I was on the fence about her but it seems I was in a
spending mood. She went into the basket.
Sadly, she hs the big feet!
Now to move out of the doll section and into the nic-nac section to see
what I can find for dolls there. I saw this table. I thought it would work.
In the basket it goes.
I like the top of it and for a $1.00, I couldn’t pass it up.
Ms. D if you would please show us this item for scale.
Ms. D : It is a great item for any home!
Ms. D: It could also be a workspace.
This was my best find.
It looks like a doll dresser or a buffet! It is a music box and my dolls will
love this. It is a great dio piece.
Ms. D: Aspiring models, the key to modeling with something like furniture
is to showcase the item and keep it looking classy! I bet Tyra never told
you that!
OK that’s my haul!
Thanks For Looking.
