Now Playing: midnight traffic, always a surprise.
Current Mood : Oddly anticipatory
Current Image Notes : I don't own this, but I was so happy to see Midge had her own gift set that I snagged the image. Yaaay !
Well, I gave it an overnight of thought, and put in a bid for the Mulan lot. I doubt I'll win it - it closes tomorrow - and while I'm the only bidder, the rarer ones do attract attention. In some ways, it does my heart good to see someone else want these dolls, even if they do end up outbidding me ! I can't help but wonder if the others are buying for kids, or for themselves !
After waaaay too much thought, I realized that I really want the Mulan, and I'd bid the same for the lot with or without the Cinderella. So, we'll see. Beloved Hubby said he'd be glad once I got ‘em all, because I promised to stick to the ones I got from yard sales and thrift stores, once I had the whole set. But, if I do get a used Mulan, it'll mean only two of these were purchased new. The Belle that started it all and Alice in Wonderland.
You'd think I'd get to sewing, with all these dolls, but I'm still perusing books and planning. I can plan and visualize for months ! What I really need to do is figure out how to make shoes ! Tink, Jasmine, and both Cinderellas all came my way without ‘em. Oh, and two of the Auroras were barefoot, but one had shoes. Ariel, as far as I can tell, wasn't sold with shoes, except as a ballerina. The ones that did arrive shod had on cheap, simple slippers that can't be too hard to reproduce - I just hate taking one apart for a pattern !
And only Jasmine arrived nude. Poor thing !
I confess, I'm kind of excited. I'd really like to be done with ‘the collection', long as I can do so by not over-spending ! So far, I've spent less on each used doll than the doll was originally, even including shipping. Not sure why I'm proud of that, but I am.
