Goodwill thrifts and finds

I have been meaning to make this post but have not had time. I love to thrift for unloved toys and dolls and made a great discovery of three Madame Alexander Dolls of the World 8 inch Wendy dolls. 

I found these three little darlings in the local Goodwill which has had some marvelous finds on dolls in the past couple of years and months . The price on each of these with their stands were $3.99 each which was quite a steal!

Austria , the little doll in the middle with the braids, has a head coming off with worn out rubber bands, common in these dolls. I plan to teach myself how to restring dols with this one and start sewing for this size with some patterns as soon as I purchase the supplies and the patterns. The one at the top is Ireland, who I already own, and the bottom one is Germany. They are pretty much intact and their clothing is in good condition. Austria I might plan to play with and redress and make into a child doll for my Gene and Trent families for dioramas as I also am on the hunt for a Madame Alexander boy doll for a brother so I can 'complete' the family scene setting. I have a blonde Gene which would look great at a Christmas scene. More projects on the horizon- and yes I have already got the Christmas cards in the planning stages-LOL! 

Goodwill thrift store doll finds!

I went into the Goodwill yesterday, one of my favorite ones. They have been starting to 'bag' multiples of dolls/ Barbies now and I thought I would maybe get lucky....and boy did I! 

I found a vintage Scooby-Doo Sherlock plush, he was cute. I also browse through their books because it is cheaper to pay $3 or less for hardbacks and paperbacks there then anywhere else and I found an Alison Weir book. But back to the Barbies. Here is what I found for $5.99 in the bag!!! 

This is the original bag. Just so you know, look in your toy section and they bag them up in gallon size ziplock freezer bags. 

There were 7 dolls in all, four Barbies, mixed and three Kelly sized dolls. Four were Disney. 

My research says this is 1991-1996? Octoberfest Dolls of the World Barbie. She is in great condition, just missing shoes and socks 

This appears to be a Fashion Fever/ Disco Ball Barbie still has her stockings and phone/ purse attachment and jewelry! Very cute. Missing her shoes. 

This was the doll I grabbed the bag for! Early 2000s Birthstone Beauty- Aquamarine Barbie. STILL has her jewelry, missing the cute dog and her shoes. I love and adore that steffie face!

Mattel Disney Holiday Princess Cinderalla? Missing her shoes and it appears she also had a matching cape, I think edged in fur. Very high quality doll. Beautiful face. 

 The last three little dolls surprised me- they are mini Disney Princesses- Beauty  the Beast, Cinderalla, Aurora. All have their shoes, stockings, outfits complete! They are really cute! 

Some of these I may keep, some I may sell, but well worth the $5.99 bag!!
