Found a My Child doll today in original outfit at a thrift store for $1.91 ($2.04 with sales tax)!  She's my 11th My Child doll for my collection.  I just have to give her a makeover:


Edit:  Did the restoration on her.  Just need to buy a pair of baby socks.

Not bad for $2.04!

I kind of recognise that little bear and the turtle. What are they called, do you know?

Well, I go to second hand shops and bootfairs and jumble sales quite often. My most recent finds are

A big yelloww smiley thing that I did think was a jelly baby, but now I'm not so sure. He was a pound. In that same shop I also found a cow and gate cow.

A snow white dwarf. Not sure which one. Think he was a pound too.

A M and S owl for either 20p or 50p.

A white voodoo doll in a pink outfit in the pound shop.

And two baby SF warthogs for 40p all together.

I also found a couple of Wade figurines for my friend, who does auctions. She bought two of the three, but the third was chipped. It broke my heart to think of leaving him there, so I bought him and brought him home. He's sitting on my windowsill now. He was only 30p.

I go to secondhand shops and boot fairs/jumble sales quite a lot, coz my parents love them too, so I'll probs be posting here a lot. Hope that's ok?

I went to town today and there was  quite a lot of stuff I could have bought, but most of it was too expensive. However, I did find a my little pony and a play mobile man.



Here's a photo of the two of them.



Here's one of the ponies side.



And one of her symbol.

Went to the flea market today not a lot of toys , but way  to many match car/hot wheels cars to count . What I did find was this for 15.00 dollars






There was a he man play set for castle grey skull but it was missing a ton of parts , covered in dust, modly stickers and broken parts too . I did not even want to ask about the pricing for the play set so I left it behind.
