Holiday Ornaments! Sweaters And More!

 Hey Gang!

I was able to purchase only one holiday ornament sweater from the Target store! My local only had the white sweater with the gold tree on it.

I don't think it is as nice as the one from last year!  I really wanted some of there others that were available.
I was able to get a few ornament sweaters from Kohl's. I think some of these might be pride sweaters because they all have rainbows on them or are rainbow-knit.
The back of them is plain. So you can wear them backward if you want.
They are smaller than the sweaters from last year.
They are smaller than the sweaters from Target.
They seem a better fit for a teen like Skipper or Stacie.

I had to purchase the Target ornament sweaters on eBay!😒I don't want to say what I paid.
I just noticed that there is a theme with the colored sweaters!
Snowman, Santa, Tree, and Deer!
These sweaters are from a few years back.

My first ornament sweaters from 2010

On order and waiting for them to arrive from Walmant are 3.75" Musical LED TV Ornament ... 

(This is great for an old-fashioned living room.)

With the right lighting, this will become a Patronus!
Expecto Patronum!

IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR!

 Hey Gang!

It is that time of year!

Besides the wonder doll-related items you will see this time of year, you will also start seeing a lot of this type of thing too! 

No that isn't The Looks #18. It is probably a return that wasn't closely reviewed.
Now I must admit, I looked at these two dolls (Yes there were two) and this was an A++ job on reboxing of Ken dolls. The straps and the plastic holder for the dolls weren't torn. I posted the photos on FB. Someone mentioned this is because the original doll was a broad-body doll and the doll they replaced it with wasn't. I thought OK, that works but how did they get the original doll out? As I said, A++ job.


There was some slight wear on the bottom of the box but that was all. If you weren't paying attention, and I think the return clerk wasn't., you might not have known that this wasn't the original doll for the box and clothes. 

The back of the box did have a picture. One is as good as another for those who don't know about dolls. I took the doll to the manager.  Who told me maybe that is why it is marked as clearance.  I took some time to educate the manager.  Showing her the back of the box, showing that the doll wasn't articulated with rooted hair and that between $22- $35 is what you would expect to pay for a doll sold by the store and not a 3rd party seller. I also showed her similar dolls that were like the dolls they put in the box and what they would cost. (about $10.99.)  She did thank me for the information.

A few FB folks showed me what they found while they were out shopping. Some dolls didn't have the right clothes. One person told me that there was a doll dealer who was "suspected" of being able to remove the doll from the packaging, replace it with a friend of Barbie, and sell it as a factory mistake or ultra rare   So it is that time of year! Buyer beware!

While you are doing your holiday shopping, give all your purchases a good look!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Christmas Ornaments Finds!

 Hey Gang!

I found some Christmas ornaments last year that I could use for my dolls at Kohl's! I don't know why I didn't post them.

I haven't shopped in Kohl's before this since 2012 when I purchased fashionista Ryan.  I just never head in the direction of the store in my area!

I am slowly collecting more blue and white decorative items.  I was first sent one as a gift and now I am looking for these 1/6 scale items in blue and white. I will remove the poinsettia but I want to be able to add them back as needed. 

When I saw this,  I thought of a PO diorama.  I have planned to do one for a long time.  In the diorama will be a  clerk at work!😏
I went in search of more sweaters. I like these two.
They both have great colors!
In a post last year, I posted this ornament jacket from Walmart.
I am thinking about styling it with this pants and hat set.
When I saw these vests, I had to have them!
This one is fur and bells that really ring!
I love this sweater too!


Let's see them in use!

The Shearling vest.
The pants and hat.
With the Walmart Jacker
Girls in sweaters!
I had to cut them in the back to get them on the dolls but I love the look of them,
The boxes are made of a kind of glass-type material.
When I removed the hat and scarf this is what it looks like.
I will need to carefully remove the top of the ornament, cover it, and paint it to use it.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Dollar Tree Backdrops!

 Hey Gang!

For the last three to four years I have seen posts of the Dollar Tree backdrops.  I haven't seen them in my local stores at all until now! You can imagine how happy and surprised I was to see them in a local store! I purchased three of the four backdrops sets and I am going back to get the fourth set! 

It says they are for an 11 1/2 inch doll but I personally would like it a little taller for an 11 1/2 doll.

I purchased the office backdrop.

When setup it looks like this!

The other side is a front yard with a door.

There are stickers and a buildables.

I also purchased the bedroom backdrop.

The other side is more of the  yard  with a garden.

There are stickers and a buildables.

The final backdrop is the kitchen.

The other side is a yard with slide and a sandbox. 

Because the backdrops for the outside are all pink, it is easier to combine the outside backdrops into one large backdrops! 
The bedroom and the office.

V is in the yard!
