Frugal Finds! Update!!

 Hey Gang!

I found these outfits at the Dollar Tree! I don't know if there are others; these were the only four, and I purchased three.  I thought these outfits might be too small for Barbie, especially the fireman's outfit, but they aren't. The packaging is smaller, with the pant leg folded over.

I purchased these three.

Let's take a look at them!

This one is a doctors/nurse outfit. Most doctors/nurses don't work in satin! 

I thought it would make great P.J.'s. Here is Trisha, who just woke up and is in search of coffee!

This one is a chef's outfit. I purchased it because the top looked big enough for a guy. 

Here is Manny mannequin with the top on and a pair of Ken pants on. The pants are too small for Ken. I will need to open the sleeves up to the top. It is a little tight in the arm but can be worked with. Update: the pants I purchased are a little roomier than past Dollar Tree fashions. They can fit on the bellybutton bottom body.

Lastly, there is this white top and overalls. The overalls have printed detailing.

Our model today is Naira. The issue with this outfit is that it is made for a doll whose head pops off. You can't get the crossed straps over the head or the neck. I will have to remove the straps in the back and add snaps.

Here are the accessories that came with the outfits. The shoes can be used for most Barbies. They are tan and black.

The stethoscope, shovel, spatula, and pan can fit in with other doll accessories you already own.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

A Few Outside Things! For My Birthday PT. #3!

Hey Gang!

Since they were on sale, I purchase a few outside things for my birthday!

First is the My Life fountain!

I had my eyes on this thing for a while! Ever since I saw the one that Vanessa of
Van's Dolls Treasures posted I knew I wanted a fountain.  I still miss her and see her posts!

Here are the items that are in the box!

Ten pieces! The fountain really works.  It has a spot on the bottom for batteries 

to pump the water! And a button to start the fountain. I won't be using that! A 

little too messy.  I will use some kinda plastic to make my water!

The flowers are heading 

straight for St. Malcolm . They get used there!

Love birds?I think I'll paint the 

birds  and the shrubs to make them look more realistic. 

 I can see how everything goes together but the drinks?

They can always be used somewhere! 

The coloring could be more staggered the shrubs!

Next up is Lil Woodzeez Garden set!

What is inside the box!

Unless it becomes a toy  for one of the kids around here, the rabbit will go!

I will add this to my Barbie Millicent Roberts Green Thumb outfit once I find
where I put it!

Here is the garden set! Veggies in the garden plot.  I might need two of these.
Gardening will work well at the longhouse.  They can grow their own food!

 Watering can!

 Basket with tools!

 I thing this will be good for everyone here!

Elan and Naira can show what they learned in school around the longhouse.

 Elan: We can make this home for us!

Elan: I going to ride you around in the wheelbarrow! Lift your feet up!

Naira: It is this type of thing that got you in trouble with the Dean!

Elan: It is also why you thought I was soo cute too!

Naira: Cute but trouble!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Back at the longhouse!

Hey Gang!

This being November, let's check up on some of the Native American
who live in Johnston!  Apollonia has move here and is hoping her sisters
will live here too!

They came to visit and she is hoping that they will decide to stay.

Naira, Apollonia and Mia

Her older sister is Mia and she has a husband and two children.  Her husband
couldn't come but she has arrived with the children.

All the children are enjoying story time with the other young children.

Mia's son GT has decided to explore and is out for a walk!

 GT: This place is great!

 There is so much to see and do!

Mia has heard a lot about this place. Mia was the attorney who worked with 

Edward Running Bear about getting this land back in Native American hands.

 Loraine: We are so happy and glad to be here!  It is all in a big part due to you!

Edward Running Bear:  I can't wait to show you around!  I am hope that you and
your family will choose to stay.  I have a ton of questions for you and I still need
your help! 

It was important to Mia to put images to the place she worked so hard to secure.
Mia: It is very beautiful here! 

Apollonia's younger sister is Naira!  She and her new husband Elan have come too.
They have been married less than two months.  They met in graduate school
at North Carolina A&T. Elan's heritage is from the Susquehannock and 

Shawnee tribes.
