What's In The Case??? $2 Yard Sale Find.. Barbie Case-Let's See What We Find Inside..

     Hello doll lovers!! You guessed it, I made a trip to see my doll lady today and she had this beaut for only $2. I took a peek inside to see if it was just a case but seen there were items in it so of course I brought it home with me. Let's take a look at what we got in our $2 mystery 80s barbie case. 
     To start off we got all kinds of clothing which I love to find there were some pieces that was very worn but the majority was in good condition. Then came the dolls there ended up being 4 dolls in the case and of course they need work but for $2 how can you complain. First there is pretty in pink barbie (in yellow jump suit) and western barbie (her poor eye lids did not make it but she does have her outfit). Then there was a doll parton doll (her hair is very frizzy I am hoping she can be saved cause I love dolly!!) and my absolute favorite find...... Crystal Barbie!!! I have been looking for her since I found her dress on jem in the spring time. Her boa was also in the case so she is complete except for her shoes and necklace. 
     I would say that's not too bad for $2, glad I got to it before the reseller did, this find made my whole month. Yard sales are going to stop before long then it will just be goodwill and salvation army which I never have a lot of luck with find doll stuff but hopefully I can keep myself busy making over dolls and organizing my items for the start of yard sale season next year. Hope you enjoyed my what's in the case and be looking for the makeover posts that will be coming!

Makeover Time... Bratz Sasha and Chic Mystique Meygan

     Hello doll lovers!! This is an older post I haven't gotten to clean up any dolls recently but did get these girls made over about a month ago. I got these ladies at a yard sale for .50 and wanted to clean them up I do not have their original outfits but I made due with what I had and was happy with the results. They turned out really nice. 
     As I always do they were washed with dish soap and baking soda, hair washed with dish soap then I put conditioner on them and let them set for about 20 min. I wanted to keep meygan's hair curly but did flat iron Sashas. I found outfits in my clothing bin that matched them and shoes that looked good with them too. They cleaned up really nice and will hopefully be loved by someone again!

$6 Yard Sale Doll Haul.... Barbie Basic-Fashionista-Twilight Bella-Princess Diana-Liv-Moxie Girl Teen-Barbie

     Hello doll lovers!! My doll lady did not disappoint this weekend! She got a lot of dolls in and there was some good ones in the bin. She sold them 3 for $2 so I got all 9 of these dolls for $6! Once you see the awesome dolls I got you will agree. First off I finally got the blonde/pink shaved head fashionista, I have been looking for her forever. Also picked up a red haired barbie basic and a twilight bella almost complete (too bad edward wasn't there). 
     Then I found a princess diana wedding doll, a liv doll with her wig and a moxie teen doll (I believe she is melrose???) without her wig, hat or jacket but had everything else. I could not believe how big the moxie teen doll was I had never seen one in person, they are very pretty, so of course I want more. 
     Lastly I found some 80s barbies, there is sun loving barbie (in a marie osmond outfit I think is the deepest purple fashion), a my first barbie (1980 version with the different eyes in a peaches and cream barbie dress) and a momma heart doll (in magic moves barbies body suit). As you can see I got some real gems, I do love this lady's selection but I did find out that she does sell to a seller in bulk so that makes me sad I don't want to think about all the awesome things I am missing out on.

1984 Berjusa Sleeping Newborn Doll in 3-6 Month Dress

     Hello doll lovers!! A few weeks ago I found this doll (had it when I was a child) and had mentioned a dress I bought a month or so before for no reason. Guess I knew that she would be coming into my life so I bought it. I love it so much! She looks so cute!! All I need to do is find her some frilly socks. Don't know if I mentioned it but the little dress with diaper cover was only .69 for the set!

Vintage Doll Finds at A Yard Sale for A Dollar-Skipper-Pepper-My Little Pony

     Hello doll lovers!! Went to a yard sale this past weekend that had a box of toys that I had to look through. The first item I found was the my little pony, next I found the vintage titan hair skipper and last was the ideal pepper doll (tammy's sister). I asked how much I owed him and he told me to take them but I felt bad just taking them so he charged me $1. I was so excited!! Wish there would have been more in there!

Doll Haul for This Past Week-WWE Allstar-Barbie Fashionista-Clothes

     Hello doll lovers!! Haven't had a lot of doll finds till the past couple of weeks, it's not a bad thing it's just what happens when yard sales start to die down. At a yard sale I got the wwe allstars doll complete for .25, the lol doll for .25 and the barbie fashionista in her original outfit for .59 at the salvation army. The american girl doll clothes, shoes and the barbie outfits was .25 a piece at a yard sale. The two monster high dolls was 1.50 a piece (the dolls are clawdeen from haunted and cleolie from freaky fusion).  A bag of doll clothes and barbie shoes for $1 a bag at a yard sale. The dam trolls with their original outfits was $1 a piece and the pip squeak doll was free at a yard sale. Overall a good week for doll finds.

Very Special Memories of This Berjusa Sleeping Newborn Baby from 1984....

     Hello doll lovers!! Went to some yard sales this past week and found an amazing walk down memory lane. I got this exact baby doll for my 5th birthday, I loved her so much! I got to pick out a toy at toys r us, which was something I did not get to do often at all (we lived over an hour from toys r us so it was a treat). I loved how real she looked, I loved her so much her head came off and my mom threw her away..... 
     This girl (or boy if you wanted) is the berjusa sleeping newborn doll from 1984. Online she is selling for around $50 with shipping, I am sure that people are reborning these dolls just like the anatomically correct berjusa dolls. I got her for $7!! Now that is a little more than I like to pay at yard sales but she is so worth it!! I have the cutest dress that I picked up about a month ago from salvation army, it's like I knew I was going to find her!!

Makeover Time!! Barbie My Scene

     Hello doll lovers!! A couple of weeks ago I did a few doll makeovers (and I do mean a couple of weeks ago, I don't know why it has taken me this long to post but here we are). I got the two my scene girls at a yard sale for $1 a piece and boy was they grimmy so I really wanted to get them cleaned up. 
     The red head is the snowboarding chelsea (not sure of line name) she wasn't too bad just a little wash and condition to her hair and she was good, I left her hair straight and down and put her in a lacy tank top with a denim skirt. The blonde is the swappin styles kennedy, her hair was a mess and she was grimmy dirty, a few baths and some condtioner later she looks good. I tried to recreate her hair style best as I could but from the back it looks a mess but the front looks good! I put her in a black a red tank top with some embellished jeans. I love the way they cleaned up and maybe someday I can get them better outfits but until then they will do!
