It Is That Time Of Year!

Hey Gang!

It is that time of year when knock of dolls and doll related item or items that
can be used for dolls start showing up!  So keep your eyes peeled!

BTW,
To keep one's eyes peeled means to be alert, observant. This seems an 
odd phrase, but dates back to the 1820s in Britain, when Sir Robert Peel 
established the first organised police force. The officers were known as '
peelers, or 'bobbies'. They were expected to be particularly observant 
and to keep their eyes 'peeled', after their founder's orders! Of the two 
popular names, only 'bobby' survives.

Tooling Around on Saturday!

Hey gang! I was off on Friday. I spent the day with my
Honey. He wanted to take advantage of all the Vets eat
free offers. That man can eat! We ate at a few places and went
to the movies. So today, Saturday, is my day to myself. He has
to work today. American needs its' mail.

I started out at my favorite thrift store. I found this and a Barbie there.

This soda machine will make a great addition to a set I will do
in the future. Next, I went to Big Lots. I am looking for a few
AA guys but there were none to be had. I did find this guy
there. I had seen him before on smidge girls site
as Aaron.


I remember them being 9.99 then 10.99. Now they are 12.00.


I already have a few Asian guys but I guess what is one more.
He has a really great face.


It has interesting angles that
photographs well.


He has compassionate eyes. I had to take a few shots of him
out of his packaging to show you. Off to the park.



Walking the park on a fall day.



I like his hair too. He has a great haircut for sculpted hair.


Fall sunshine on his face.



I am working on his name but I think he will be Collin's
brother.


I really had to stop myself from taking more pictures.


I went to a discount store and find this doll out of her box
and on sale for $2.00. She has one of the new cheap bodies
that the legs doesn't bend. She has a good face and a
cute dress.



Preparing for next year! I found these dolls on sale for 40 cents
in Target. The crunching sound you hear is Ms. Leo eating the
candy! The sweater will work well for next year.


The sweaters were sewn on the bears but a seam ripper will
aid in the claiming of the sweater.
