Bootsale haul 07.05.2017

After rainy Bank Holiday Monday disaster I was determined to have fun on double carboot sale the following Sunday (07.05.2017)...

It is as exciting as it is exhausting. Not only I have to get up at 7 on Sunday:-(, i recently calculate don google maps that between two locations and my home I make over 6 miles on my bike plus around 3 km of walking along the aisles...  oh well, sports for dolls....

so this week I was quite lucky and enjoyed myself a lot...
Treated myself with a vintage woolly scarf and stylish folk furry & rosy hat, 50 p each
Mother of pearl coasters from Philipines and kindly spent 1.50 for my daughters Frozen equipment cause she keeps bragging about it like never before;-)

from dolly department I bought a furniture in a wrong scale but full of china goods...
Half dead G2 pony for resale and set of never opened Cabbage Patch dishes (for resale):-)

no brunette or dark beauty to join my collection but a lovely Cool Green Teen Skipper again - this one goes to a new home...green thread still in her hair, all jewelry in place, just a bit loose in her joints;-)

Wonderfull Capri Barbie from 1981 and three Bratz Babiez, 20 p each;-)

Capri Barbie brings bunch of memories... someone must had to have her in my surroundings... her make-up with green triangles is crazy cool and her fashion shouts 80's!

..and she of cours has curly hair which I never had chance to experience as a child but now find it a little bit of nightmare....

I refreshed her and befiore she went to a new loving home to retire I had little play and a mini session with her cousin from Western Fun series:-)

'Mine' is made in Malaysia and has lovely coloring and rosy cheeks:-)

 variations

p.s. to cheer myself up I once. 'after school', got myself? three petite uglies;-)

One Blythe bigger than my tiny one from year ago but exactly the same...

and duo of not signed post-Strawberry Shortcake dolls but vintage ones:-)

uffff that's all, Im off!

Bootsale 23.04.17 - No. 144,145

That was a good one. Nice weather, early raising up so that I managed to tour both carboot sales - the grassy farm one as well as the P+R one. yay!

It was again definitely worth the effort.

Not only that I got new Lego 3in1 for my son and fun vintage spelling game - I also got myself fab stylised idyllic printed in England fabric and a doll seize amount of a great forest fruits one! Tried luck with reselling collectible macdonalds toys. This fabulous brown ethnic printed top is my Jean Paul Gautier for 2 pounds! It's so cool i'd wear it daily!
...and as you can already see I had some dolly luck as well...

So first I got Hollywood Hair Barbie figurine for like 20 p....
Then I was walking around this Tropical Ken several times.... i don't care about this mold and tanned blonde dolls obviously...but the fact that I have Christie from this line and his pants are from the same fabric got me gender play happy;-) [none of my dolls never smell of any super cool coconut:-/]

In a mean time, short on money as usually I stumbled upon stall with many dolls and a teenage seller. I tried so hard not to get carried away and managed to get only with this exciting sachet of her doll accessories:-)

 after I unpacked and sorted everything t looked like that <3

 close-ups :-)

yay!

 

 nom nom nom

I came back to pick up Ken for his pants only and lady reduced it for me to 50 p LOL

Next I have found Extreme Green Teen Skipper again. I regretted slightly being so strict about this blonde beauty the last time - I decided not to resale but to reroot this one (my doll no. 144). She has dark eyebrows and platinum blonde dry hair I cannot stand anyway:-)

 She has both earrings and ring intact.. unfortunately I didn't have time to do anything with her since last Spring so just a pic in original clothes:

Soon after I spotted an Olsen sister. I have read about her on blogs for so many times I actually got the bug... her face is so realistic:-))) I'll 'naturally' rebody her...
Her salmon-copper overalls turned out to be part of skiing MyScene set - the one with brown winter jacket taht came with one of the latest Livs...

I am a good girl and i still do not own her sister or any other of the versions... they are very cool dolls and so are the real ever-changing sisters but no no;-)

 ohoh

The similarity is uncanny..
can't identify however which Ashley edition is wearing black ribbon choker...

There obviously was Miko as well. I got one before from eBay but I was still delighted to find such a desired and old doll just waiting there...she has slightly broken neck but wears very cool casual vintage clothes:-) I will keep here for a while as a double for a pure pleasure of owning the doll of my childhood dreams and will let her go to new loving home:-)

p.s. Sneakpeek from the future...Asley (doll no. 145) ended up on Liv's body and had her outdoor session too
