Bag of 10 vintage dolls: $5.99
Ruched eelskin purse: $12.99
Both @ Value Village.
Argh, I don't know why I go to Value Village on non-sale days! Their pricing is just ludicrous.
I actually came to the area because I was hoping a $1 sale was going on at Kim's Village, but it was only half off. It's small and cramped so I don't really like going there just to browse, but I didn't want the trip to be a complete waste.
The bag was in excellent condition, otherwise I'd be really loathe to buy it! I still thought it was ridiculous, but I just really loved that purse. I've seen a ton of eelskin purses now, but I'm such a sucker for ruching...and it's navy, which isn't a colour I have a lot of.
I thought I might return it if I changed my mind, but it's way too pretty not to keep! It looks great on too.
I wasn't sure about the dolls either, but decided to get them anyway. I knew they had no resale value, but I've never seen dolls this old before....and this cheap, considering it's Value Village!
I'm glad I bought it. I've always been curious about celluloid dolls, and I think there are at least 4 of them in this bag. The flimsy ones are so precious, I love them! There's also a bisque baby in there but I find that one pretty ugly.
The one with feathers swayed me the most. I like the look and feel of old things so I'm happy with what I got in this lot. There's such a difference between them and the things produced now, it's nice to have a bit of nostalgia.
Their little molded hair and sleep eyes are so sweet, plus a lot of them are smaller dolls, which I prefer. Some of them are at least 80 years old!
