Liv dolls stash (No. 236)


Ok ok, I will count these as one doll because they were not very expensive but gave me a lot of joy combining known and some surprising Liv doll stuff.
A lovely mix of barely played with dolls, maybe even someone only chose and picked odd bits...


Good times - never seen an actual, original Liv doll box


Strangely idealised and photoshoped close-up....


A box with a flap - and lots of mixed goodies!


...lets see let's see...

1. one very amusing pup wearing a blue tutu dress...I must have dispose this whistle can't remember it having anything pink nowadays - and i keep my two doggos displayed.... hmmm


Oh mammua mia!


A very neat bag of  accessories - this Liv loves her gold...


They came in very platinum wigs....Oh i really hope i can find strength to donate one of them


...that's one glossy 80's pink lipstick...
..but her hair is so new and soft....and clothes really detailed....


...so cute 😖


Hazel eyes and dark weeg with burgundy streaks, mmmmm


There is something odd about these dolls, maybe they are one of the last editions, maybe they outsourced a different factory / materials?



Can't believe how much stuff there is..
these wigs have been hot stuff at some point....



Nah...still an old lady's makeup...



This moisturised suntanned lady in her summer dress, however <3...






Here they are before they get separated and stripped.....sorry...

Charity shop finds

 Today a testimony to my very peculiar finds.

In my favourite kids / toy charity I spotted this red-haired girl - smiling but not trying to impress anyone, wearing princess dress but also funky yellow specs!


She was not intended to look 'pretty' and she definitely was vintage (see mould on her forehead LOL?)


I absolutely love her non-commercial pointy nose!

I originally wanted to keep her and give her few adventures and situationsheis but then i thought she is too rare, specific and vintage to mess our with...also I doubt she cares about fashion much!


Musgrave 1996, hmmmm


here she is squeeky clean!





Ah, bless <3




It Has Pockets!


A perfect promo shot!


Took me ages to find who she is - then I forgot and couldn't find teh screenshots....

Definitely never heard of her but also remember dragons a bit?


P.S. the peculiar eggcup is way old - turns our Andy Pandy is 60's children's series



...maybe even 50s...


Mmmm, good stuff


'merch'



thanks!

eBay weekend haul (No. 235 and 3/4) - pt 1

 It was one of those weekend....when I know I shouldn't but I still go for it...

After being mindlessly tired on Friday night - the only thing that soothes and pleases me is the late night eBay scrolling... 'sadly' I always manage to find an 'occasion'... Needless to say my proxy bidding and theory that people are out out, away from computer works....

Late April 2024, yet again, I ended up with 3 won auctions...

- Heart Family / Mattel toddlers lot...

- and my oh my more Superstars as one looked particularly photogenic...



Very comfy little box - definitely from 90s as I have same container from my very childhood. 
Curious - I'm locked in.


Yes! beautiful chaos!
Definitely somebody's baby-box


Gosh, yes - these bring so many memories....
(continues to dig internetz for Heart family archives)



Happy!


My two rascals is teh very Heart Family Boy and from cousins or friends line (freckels!)




I though it through - think they are both from the Sunshine Fun Pals set!




Bonus - proper mini bebe!

Pet loving Teresa no 2....she stays...I will come up with the make-over, promise

Bye bye but thanks for the (retired) dress
