Now Playing: "World Keeps Spinning", The Brand New Heavies
Spent on dolls and me today : $11.71
Took myself out for a little fun today. Found the ‘Walk of Fame' star my best friend Becky gave me back in '89, among some framed pieces that were stored, last week. My last name's changed, but I still loved that star. Scraped my old name off, then hit Hobby Lobby for a set of new alphabet stickers to fix it.
While they didn't really have any (tacky, IMhO) large gold block letters to match what was on there, I found some smaller black ones I really liked. Half-off, too ! Also found some tiny scrapbooking buttons that are perfect for my dolls on clearance, and a tiny dollhouse sewing machine. Now I have three miniature sewing machines, so that makes a collection !
They also had some nice resin chairs on half-off. Found a great one in Elphie and Fiyero's scale, and would have gladly bought two. Thing was, they're boxes - the seat lifts off for small storage - and the one I liked best was missing the box lid/seat on four of the five on display. So I just got one. I could have bought a set and made cushions, but I hate to pay regular price for something I have to fix, and the people I asked said they couldn't discount it further. Oh, well ! At least Fiyero's not sitting on an upturned candle holder at Elphie's anymore ! They had lots of cute resin chairs, mostly in Barbie scale.
Added the miniature Singer to the collection - and with the coupon, it's still the most expensive of the three. I paid a whole $1.20 for it ! The other two were a buck from a yard sale and Dollar Tree. And got the WoF star updated. Much better ! It's now hanging proudly from the Lab door. The old stickers are on the back, in case someone finds it in a junk shop and wants to restore it the way it's supposed to be.
I'd take pictures, but Beloved Hubby has the camera !
