haha! Well I didn't just spy him in there. I looked at all of the pictures and then read zappy's text below the pictures, then I went through them all again and spotted him. Once I knew he was in there he was easy to find though. hehe

Wow, that just astounds me! That's a great haul, haha.
I'm actually really jealous because I can't seem to find good vintage/thrift stores in either of my "locations." (Family lives one place, but I go to college somewhere else!)

We have a Brass Armadillo here, but a lot is antique stuff and not a lot of thrifty things. I tried going garage sale-ing last weekend and that was a bust, and the local Goodwill is not good and doesn't have a clearance section. :(

But congrats, haha hopefully someday I'll be able to have a treasure as good as that!

Went to the local flea market but no one is selling toys at all  :-X ! There was a handful of people selling toys but nothing great. I found a jewel rider horse but they wanted five dollars for it,  and it had no accessories  so I passed it up it was there last year too.

Ok, here we go again :)  This is one day at my thrift store, plus a flea market run.  Not as good as the last time, but there are some nice pieces.























Personal Highlights:
- A new Kitty Kitty Kitten!  I have tons of these, but this one opens up new questions- apparently, they came in clothes!  It's tag marks it a "Fancy Kitty Kitty Kitten."  I knew about the babies, but this was a surprise.  Awesome.
- Some very nice shape Barbies.  I'm selling most of the ones in the shot, but those Midges are home, baby.
- The AA skydancer.  I've never had a black one before, and this one is just gorgeous.
- Two vintage Polly Pocket dolls that I didn't have.
- More DG fakie ponies!

Selling highlights:
- Umm, good quantity of a lot of my lot builders
- Moon Dreamer, LLL doll
- Very nice Chubble

All sorts of goodies :)

Nice job with the toys you found today. I only found action figures today at one of the flea market the market for toys as dropped like a rock in water  no one seems to be interested in buying them at all.  :( I wonder were have all the toys gone ?

Wow, I'm super envious of how much stuff you found on just one day! I just moved to a new city and I checked out the local Salvation Army and Goodwill, but neither of them even had a section for toys! I wonder if they're auctioning them online or something. :(

At least here in NY there are new lead laws with toys, and many places including the salvation army's here are refusing to take donated toys any more. By law now every newly made  toy has to be tested for lead and those that are tested are destroyed.  >:(  A lot of people here have thrown out toys that were perfectly fine due to these new laws.

Ok... this is weeks old.  Over a month, at least.  I took it but then took a trip and got terribly behind, so I'm only just now getting to posting it.  I have another picture round as well from... a while ago :P  I will get to posting it a little later.

Let the "I Spy" game commence... NOW!































I already sold the Doodle Doll on ebay, and it turns out it was to a member here!  Small world!
