Current Mood : Whoo-hoo !
Spent on Barbie dolls and stuff : $6.
Today started kind of early, too - I had to pick up the single expensive prescription and wanted to get out for a bit, even though I still had laundry and didn't need to be out spendin' cash. But Beloved made sure I had a $20. just for me, and I had to go out anyway, so....
Hit an estate sale on the way to the pharmacy - OK, so it's the Mal-Wart pharm, we needed a couple things anyway - and snagged a pretty still-in-package nautical Barbie dress and a Barbie coloring book for a buck-fifty. Soon as I figure out how to do something, you'll be seeing that coloring book ! I also snagged two dolls - a beautiful still-dressed Barbie and the Sensations Bopsy and a wrecked-hair Twirling Ballerina Teresa for her body and pretty Fashion Avenue dress. Ordinarily, I'd have just grabbed Bopsy, for her Midge Diva face and neat outfit, but I liked Teresa's dress, and I wanted her body. Bopsy's unfortunately suffers from 'white spot legs', fairly common in dolls from that time period. So I ponied up $4. instead of $2. to get a unique 'Frankendolly' I really like. Bopsy and a
With my 'script secured for another month - it's since gone from $80. for two months to $55. for one month to $59. this month (sigh) - I poked around a bit. Got some leftover Reese's eggs for BIL, as a 'garage warming' gift after his move, two sets of camouflage eggs as a joke for Beloved Hubby, all on amazing markdowns. I also picked up the seam ripper I've needed for a while. I tend to dull those things fairly easily - or just plain lose 'em.
I hit one more sale on the way home - no real finds, but I picked up a doll pattern. It's Marie Osmond's Butterick "Personality Doll Wardrobe", #6664. Truth be told, I already have it as Butterick's #224, but I just couldn't leave this one for a quarter. Plus, there was a bonus inside - a half-finished dress from View B ! Man, I remember my first sewing efforts, they look just like this !
Once home, I had fun swappin' bodies and washing miniature doll clothes. Bopsy's outfit was on Teresa - it's a Fashion Avenue I've only seen in photos. So pretty and spring-y. It bled yellow a bit in my little 'washing machine', but it came out brighter, so I was happy. Photo came out well, I think !
Well, I'm hoping to catch up on a bit of housework, so I'm gonna go ahead and post. Hope your Saturday was fun, too !
