Frugal Dolly Finds!

Hey Gang!

So I finally saw the Dollar Tree Barbie furniture! They have been shown of the
web for over a year!
 I got two purple sofas!
I think I will paint them.
 I got a toilet. 
All the other toilets I have are attach to a wall or something else.  I needed
something free standing to make my own bathroom setup. They had a bathtub
but it was too small and I have clawfoot tub from a Bratz set that is a better size.
 The lid even opens!
I'll have to put paper in the bottom to help it to look real.
The real find are the chairs. In doing dioramas, you always need more chairs.
Having multiple chairs of the same design are great for weddings, restaurants
or other large scenes. I really need more of them!  I only have six, which was
all they had. I don't know if you can see it in this photo, but the two sets are
slightly different shades of pink. These will get painted also.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

A Week Of Ups And Downs!

Thus far this week has had some ups and downs! My hubby
has been sick most of the weekend and the beginning of this
week. Thank God, he is much better now! I have also had some
dolly ups and downs too!

Up—I received this jacket in trade for a doll head from blogger
April of April's Sea of Barbie Sweetness. Thanks April!

I have wanted this jacket but not enough to buy the doll it
came on.

Down—Cory!


That is what I am calling this action figure who will be Collin’s
brother.


Cory fell! And his leg broke. I will no longer stand
dolls on the self I had him sitting on. I decided to go back to
my area Big Lots in hopes for another figure like him but it
was too late! They were out. I may have to repair him.

Up—they did have a Jean Basic there and a fashion pack there.
So I pick them up!

I like her face but she will need a new body. I have a story for
her. She will be Mr. Kingsley secretary Emily. I would like a
fashionista body. If anyone know a good match, let me know.



Dominique says this is her year and she wants most of the items
in this pack!

She is much happier when she gets her way!



Down—one of the set of chairs I ordered arrived. But one of
the chairs was broken.



I got them for less that five dollars including shipping. I
really could complain too much. I think it happen in travel.
I think I can glue it and I planned on painting it. So I hope
by then it will not show.



Up--Another set of chairs that I order arrive with no problems!


Up—I made one dress, purchase two dresses for.25 and
reconstructed one of them.


Marie got this navy blue tube dress with a jacket to interview
in! I even did some sewing on this dress. The tube was cut to
length and the rest I used for the jacket.


I will have to pull her hair back so that the streak doesn't show.


Siobhan received this dress I purchased from a thrift store for .25.
I was very long and raggedy looking. I washed it, cut it, went over
the seams and made a belt with the extra fabric.


It now looks very Siobhan and it works well with her coloring.



And Ellie got a new dress too! I am not sure about the boots.
Ellie isn't use to wearing heals!

My Thrift Store Finds! Woo Hoo!

My Thrift Store Finds!

I was running around trying to get some business
done for my garden club, when spotted one my
favorite thrift stores. I had not been there in a
while. I really shouldn't stop in because
I had a lot to do but I did it anyway!
There weren't many toys the last
time I was there but I was hopeful.
Look what I found! I first saw
one bag sitting by itself. Then I
spotted another bag! Then another bag!
I scooped them up and headed for
the register. The saleswomen said,
Hey... did you see these? It is $3.00!
OK! I will take that too!
I went up the road happy to my next
location! I turned the corner and....
there it was... another thrift store.
I had business to do. So I did that first and
then I went in! So here is my loot!

Bag One















Bag Two















Bag Three















Saleswoman suggestion














This set was such a good price because it had
a little problem! I can fix this!















So....Lets open the bags and see what is in them!
Couch and entertainment center.















The Couch















Barbe models for scale.






























The TV only shows sports. Odd for Barbie.
There is a knob that you turn to change the
picture. It rolls the picture.
Table and Lamp!















Green seems to be my color this year!















Chairs! Too flashy for the office. Not sure
where they are from.
Barbie again for scale.















Chair height can be adjusted. They could be
used with Bratz.















At the next store I find these!




















Yes! I found Barbie there too. She
is trying to talk me into keeping her.
That is why she appears everywhere.
I love the suit. I am still thinking about
Barbie.





















The vase. It is a classic.


















Dresser. The hearts will have to go.
Wrong scale.



















This lovely bench!














The slats on the seat seem a little wide. You
can't put cushions on a park bench or can you?















I already have a bench but it is smaller and














it rocks. There aren't rocking benches in a park.




























Barbie again!















The two benches do look good together.
They do make a nice scene!
