Maybe I Shouldn't Mention This.......

But today I went on my usual get 

out of the house trip. 

Had to go the the bank, then went 

to TRU's. They had nothing new on 

the shelves. 

Went to the Thrift Store and walked out

with nothing. 

Then went and stopped at Target.

They did have the S.I.S. Rocawear Dolls but still 

at 24.38.  Also on the shelves were 

S.I.S. Locks of Love (S.I.S.doll with little sister and accessories)

That was also priced at 24.98

On the lower shelf, there was the S.I.S. Glam Convertible. 

Purple car with Grace in the driver's seat. 

Price was 19.99

Walked out with one item which I will post tomorrow. 

This is the part maybe I shouldn't mention, but I then 

stopped at Wal-Mart, near my house.

Looked around, saw nothing new in the doll aisle. 

Went over to the CLEARANCE Aisle and found. 

Stardoll 

Redhead 

Mattel 

 2011 

Made in China 

Anything with a RED Sticker was 50% off.

Got her for $10.50 

If the Stardoll had a yellow sticker there was no discount. 

Also picked up 

These items came out to 7.90 each. 

I am very surprised that these items were on a 50% off

sale already.  I wanted to get the other outfit, but none of 

them had a red sticker. May have to try another Wal-Mart.

I also saw the Color Liv with the non-articulated arms 

and the Sleepover Party in the Clearance Aisle.

Vintage 8 inch doll Clothes

On recent doll hunting trips I have been

finding a lot of vintage items.

During the 1950's there were many 8 inch dolls 

toy shelves. You could find Ginny from Vogue,

Ginger from Cosmopolitan, Pam from PMA,

Alexander-kins, Lollipop from Virga and most

likely a host of others.

This post will be about some of the clothes

I have found for the Vintage 8 inch doll.

My most recent acquisition was found

at the Thrift Store.

This outfit was found in the round box marked 

American Cellubox Corp

These were the items that were in the box. 

The red dress was the only piece labeled. 

"A Prissy Costume"

Trademark of Chello Corporation 

The next outfits I picked up at a Garage Sale. 

This is an outfit for the Ginger Doll by 

Cosmopolitan

No label or tag 

Another with no label or tag

This dress has a label marked Vogue Dolls. 

Most likely for Ginny.

I now have to go look and see where my childhood Ginger Doll is.

She would look great in the red outfit for Christmas.

"Fashion Avenue" Lingerie

Yesterday I went to a Barbeque Fundraiser for a 

former co-worker's sister who was recently diagnosed with cancer. 

Tina, my co-worker had called me about the fund-raiser two 

weeks ago and told me that someone had donated twenty

Barbie dolls besides all the other

donations they had gotten. 

They were going to have a "Tricky Tray" 

(a raffle of sorts) where you buy tickets and drop them into 

a container of the items you would like to win. 

Since I only stayed for about two hours, Tina told me just 

to write my name on the back of the tickets.  If I won anything, 

she would bring them to me. Today, she brought me 

5 dolls, 1 outfit and a hair dryer. 

So I thought I would post the outfit and one of the dolls today.
