Bratz World closet:  $1.99

Also found some more LPS Blythes!  Can't believe I found two more at the same time.  That's three in a row now!  I would gladly welcome more.

I actually saw some more light up MLP's.  I didn't know they made so many!  I was a little tempted, but they were $6 each, so I passed.  I think my max would be around $4. 

Now I kind of feel like buying all of the light up ones.  I wish I picked up some of those $4 ones I came across a while back!

The closet is from this set:

It looks so modern!  I wish they kept it like the promo pictures though...that one was entirely mirrored!  That would have been stunning:


They actually came out with a lot of nice furniture pieces.  I would love this mirror:


I've got to keep an eye out for them!

Blythes and Strawberry shortcake car:  $2.99 for all @ Value Village

Always exciting when I find a Blythe!  Even moreso when I find two at a time!  Even though I have triples of these now, I still want more!  This is my first complete scooter girl.

I've passed up that car so many times.  Most of them are missing those leaf rear view mirrors, so I didn't even realize they were supposed to be there! Mine is missing one.

The horn actually honks! It's more of a squeaky toy sound, but I thought that was a fun detail.

Licca doll
My Little Pony - Talking Princess Cadence

$1.99 each @ Value Village

Can't pass up a Licca, even though this one has terrible hair!  Strange, because it is one of the modern ones.  She would definitely be a candidate for a reroot, but I doubt I'll bother.

Surprised I found another cheap pony this soon!  This one talks and lights up just like the last one, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.  This is what she originally came with:


I can do without those bits.

My Little Pony - Princess Celestia:  $1.99
Barbie pink glitter motor scooter:  $2.99

Both @ Value Village

I'm really not that into my little pony, but I still love thinks that move and light up!  For $2, I just couldn't resist.  I'm surprised it was that low, especially with some other figures in the bag.  Those are McDonalds and in bad condition, so I'm not keeping them.


Her wings move and light up, plus she talks.  Mine has pretty bad hair, but I think it'll be fine after I clean her up.

The scooter was just too neat!  Can't say no to clear glitter.  I'll probably take off all of the lame decals though.  I found pictures of it in box:


Too bad mine is missing the headlights. 


I've seen it go for $15 used!  Mine looks new, so I'm fine with the price I paid.

Theory - Shinna bi stretch blazer:  $6.50 (RSP:  $400)(10 days)


Bag of doll making supplies:  $2 (7 days)

They were having a half off sale, and it was on the way...even though I was super tired, I couldn't resist!

I have a ton of black blazers, but this one just looked so polished.  I had to have it!  This is the exact same one I have:


I only wanted the parts for the pose doll heads.  I'm not quite sure what bodies I'll put them on, but I'm sure I'll thrift something!

There are a ton of other vintage heads:


I don't think I'll keep any of them.

One of the pose doll heads had a $.69 sticker stuck to her hair.  I wonder if that's how much it cost?  That's so reasonable!

Lanvin blazer:  $5.99 @ Value Village

I'm so surprised!  Their regular prices usually aren't this reasonable, unless the item is in really crappy condition.  This one looks great, so I don't know why it was priced this low.



I really didn't ever expect to find this label!  Just goes to show that you never know what you'll find. 

Even though the retail price was over a grand, it seems like used Lanvin doesn't have much of a resale value.  I wonder why that is!


Silk halter top:  $9.99 (RSP:  $79.95)
Silk tunic:  $4.99 (RSP:  $69.95)



Knotted mesh belt:  $5 (RSP:  $29.95)
Calf hair leopard belt:  $5 (RSP:  $25)

All @ Le Chateau

I usually  never shop here, but I've been noticing some decent deals on their website.  They have real leather flats for $10!  They looked pretty nice, but I wanted to see how they fit before placing an order.

I'm glad I did.  They were way too small!!  I would have had to size up, and they don't have that size in stock. Too bad, because they were nice quality.

They were uncomfortable though.  Only their moda flex ones were comfortable, but I didn't feel like paying $20 in store.  Maybe if those ones go down!

I was surprised they had so much cheap silk in store though.  They had a bunch more long $10 tanks, but the style was kind of plain.  They were also sort of formless and unflattering unless you're super skinny, so I left them behind.

I wasn't too crazy about the teal one either, but I can't pass up cheap silk!

The belts are more than I'd usually pay, but they're also much better quality than the ones I usually buy.  They just have a lot more heft to them!

I really only wanted the leopard belt, but you had to buy two to get them for $5 each.  That one was definitely worth $5!

I should make it a point to check in more often, at least at the outlet (which this one was).  These are quality materials for the price!

12 "babe" cocktail sticks:  $.50 @ Yoko yaya

I've never seen anything that cheap there, so I was shocked when I saw the price.  They're fun and kitschy,  so why not.

Saw these when I was searching online.  They're pretty neat too:


Not sure when I'd use any of them, but just in case!

Blythes:  $1.99 for both @ Value Village

Yay, another twofer!  They came nude though.  The blonde is the exact same one I just found...hiking trip.  The other one is also a double, desert fun.  I found the first one over two years ago!

I also got a Polly car, but I forgot to take a picture.  It's purple and has some musical symbols on the side.

Bag of toys:  $2.99 @ Value Village

What was in the bag:


Of course I wanted the Blythes!  But the accessories were a nice bonus.  A few of them are monster high.


Hiking trip blythe.  I actually have her shoes from another doll I found, so she's nearly complete.


Swim and sun blythe.  I don't have anything of hers, but I do have another nude one.

Rose petal place roadster:  $1.50 @ BFM Thrift store

I love this thrift store!  Things are always reasonably priced, and they have a pretty big selection of stuff.  It's a big of  a hassle to get there though, which is why I rarely go.

I decided to make the effort today, and I'm glad I did!  It turns out they were having a customer appreciation day for their 25th anniversary.  They said it was the first time they've done this!

They gave out cake and popcorn, but I only had the cake.  It was pretty good!  I also got two free boxes of triscuits because the packaging was way dented.  That was a nice surprise!

I actually remember admiring this car a long time ago, so I'm happy it's mine for next to nothing.  I think the carved rose detail is very pretty.  Turns out it's supposed to be musical, but I can't get the battery cover off to test it!

Mine has changed colour because of sun exposure, but I think it actually looks better that way!  The original is really pink and looks very childish.  This colour looks more sophisticated! Found this picture online:


The wheels are really cheap and ugly looking though, the kind they use on preschool toys. Thankfully they're not visible until you turn it over!

Tricoastal designs - Victorian style notebook and memo pad:  $1.99 for both @  Value Village

I thought these  were new, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them!  When I opened them up, I was pretty disappointed to find that they had been written all over.  By a kid no less!  Strange, I think this design is a bit sophisticated to give to a 7 year old (judging by the writing!).

This is the first time I've ever not gotten a receipt from them, otherwise I would have tried to return it.  I do really like the cover though.

I was shocked when I saw it was from 1995.  There was still a Winners sticker on each of them, and that tag looked modern!  I guess they haven't changed it much in two decades.

I also found a LPS Blythe, but I forgot to take a picture.  It's the one with polka dot tights...now I have three of them!

This is actually the same location I found that sailor moon haul.  I just couldn't resist!  I thought they might have more stuff, and I'd be kicking myself if I missed out on it.

Bag of sailor moon toys:  $3.99 @ Value Village

Jackpot!!!!  I couldn't believe it when I found this.  It's got to be one of my best finds ever!  The total value is upwards of $500, depending on the market...pretty sure I could get at least $300 any time.

Not that I'll sell it.  I just like feeling like I won the lottery!

I actually saw that heart case first.  I felt dumbfounded when I saw it!  I really never expected to find it locally, though it is something I've always wanted.

I've always thought that was mirror sized..I never expected it to be so huge!

When I picked up the bag, that's when I noticed all of the other goodies.  The lockets!  I also recognized that the crown was a sailor moon item too.  I felt like I was in a dream!!

I have one of the lockets already, but my other one is sun faded.  They're actually different versions too!  Every thing in this bag was the Japanese version of things.  The other one I had was the Asian version.

There was also a Mahou Tsukai Sally case in there, pretty similar to the Sailor moon one.  Thank you to whomever got rid of these things!!
