Now Playing: "The Search Is Over" - Survivor, on MP3
Current Mood : Whoo-hoo !
Helped Beloved Hubby in the Shop a bit, before Dearest Son came home, and he handed me a $20. Tempting. But with all the finds I'd already had, and with Dearest due home any time, I decided against going out for more yard sales. Occasionally, I can let someone else make the big finds. Besides, if I keep the cash wisely, there's that much more for me to go out with next weekend ! And I had plenty to do at home, and that was the truth !
Ran out for a few groceries, and when I got back, my Mulan and Cinderella dolls were on the doorstep ! Yaaay ! The search and the madness are over. I have all the Little Princess dolls. Alleluia !
Mulan's in great shape, although her shoes are missing. Her hair was fantastic and packaging threads still dangled from her dress. Sad to think I'll play with these dolls more than their original owner did. And I seriously believe that, at least with this doll line, the blonder they are, the harder they brush. After fighting with Auroras and Cinderellas, Mulan, Pocahontas, and Jasmine's hair was a dream to work with.
My third Cinderella is also darn near new. Hair is still in the factory set, and her dress is adorable. Seller also tossed in some books and a few small plastic Princess figurines, so most of these dolls have dolls of themselves. Cute !
Well, with all this new stuff coming in, the challenge was finding places for it all. The Teresa head went into the Donations bag, and I arranged my small collection of castles around the Belle head. That made the bureau look bad, so I got all the doll reference books in one place, and all the sewing ones and doll pattern books together, as well. My burgeoning collection of silly kid books - mostly DPrincess stuff - is now half a shelf in the bookcase, but it includes coloring books, so...
The cool Vegas sign went behind some framed photos. Within reach, but not obtrusive. And high enough so that the kittens aren't tempted by dangling cords. I'm constantly amazed at how high they can jump and climb. Christmas this year is gonna be interesting.
Took down the ‘Star Skater' doll's hair, and it's permanently kinked from the cute ponytail. Nothing a boil and brush won't fix ! She's currently drying, and it looks like I missed two strands, but I can always tuck those under.
