Current Mood : A bit shopped out
My tummy's been giving me some trouble off and on all week. Makes me not terribly interested in shopping or sewing. This morning, though, I felt OK, and wanted rice crackers. Bad. So, off I went.
The specific kind of crackers I wanted were out of stock - sniffle ! - so I ended up at Target. They *always* have rice crackers. It's part of their Archer Farms snack line. A big plastic container of ‘em - with nuts ! - is kinda pricey, but very tasty. While I was there, I had a look around...
Did you know there's an entire line of Disney Princess bathroom accessories ? A Cinderella and castle lotion pump coordinates with a Belle soap dish and a Sleeping Beauty toothbrush holder. From a distance, the soap dish - Belle's long yellow skirt, mostly - looked interesting, but up close, the paint wasn't good at all. Plus, $10. is a bit much for a pin holder (I entertained buying it for that, but no).
Nothing new in dolls, but I did find square melmac bowls that'll coordinate with our dinnerware - we always run out of bowls first. On markdown, too. And they had those cardboard scratching platforms for Velvet, so I got her one.
And I found the drawer pulls of my dreams. Dark metal, with a green ‘crystal' in the middle. Too bad they were $6. each, and I'd need eight of ‘em. I love my pattern cabinet, but it's not worth $48. ! But then, I found some ‘cup' style ones on markdown, and snapped those right up. So I'll have that to get those installed soon. Gonna need a drill...and probably Beloved Hubby.
So I was happy. I saw the little bench that many folks have been using with their Barbie-scale dolls - it's in the ‘Dollar Spot' for $2.50. For some reason, it looks out of scale to me, in both person and pictures. Besides, I just ditched two, so I don't need more !
I also got to visit the local book/video shop, cruisin' for doll magazines. Latest Haute Doll has patterns, and I wanted to see if they were interesting. And I still hope to catch the last Barbie Collector, but they probably did a limited run for the subscribers, so I'm not holding much hope. Anyway, the latest HD is dated June 08. The one on the shelves here is March ! Oh, well. It's not like I need any patterns...but it would have been nice to think that I could actually want something pictured in HD !
