MEGA Garage Sale Finds!

"Oh jee" is what I thought when I woke up at 6:30am. Let's just say I never have hope of finding actual AG stuff at these places. ;) Well today was different (obviously). When I got there I saw an Our Generation Jeep and Pleasant Company Bitty Baby things. I just knew there had to be something here! I totally would have gotten the Jeep if I hadn't seen the broken top and door. Yeah. That was kind of depressing...... (Oh and just a PS to all of you who are getting excited, (which I don't suppose is many) I didn't find a doll people!)

I next I found a first edition Coconut's doghouse. I was super excited and raced over. Imagine my surprise when I found not only all the pieces that go with it were there but 2 Coconuts?!?!? I could have very easily exploded from excitement there readers! No more post from me! :)

After about 30 minutes of waiting for family, I went back over to where I found the Coconuts. Then I found Coconut's pet carrier?!?! People, don't make me blow up officially! It was only the carrier and didn't have any of the little things. Then I was really happy with my find and wanted to leave. I had to wait a few more minutes so I went back! I absolutely FREAKED! I found LINDSEY'S BAG!!!! I was really hyperventilating at that point! We finally left after I checked the area one more time. (To make sure there weren't any Lindseys!)

Here are the photos of what I got. Sorry about the bad quality they were taken with my web cam, but hooray, everyone gets to see my hair!

These are the two Coconuts. They are from 2004 I think is what I saw and they still have the magnetic mouth and they are very heavy! I have the 2006 version so mine is lighter and slightly smaller. We weighed them for comparison and these ^  weigh 0.66 and mine weighs 0.26 . Jeez these could be paperweights!

I did this for comparison. My Coconut is on the right. He's been used a lot when I was younger and you can kind of tell. He's a bit more brown and not pure white like the ones I bought. My Coco looks more like my Westie! He's a dirty fella! ;)

This is Coco's first edition doghouse! I have the second edition. Sorry, I forgot to do a comparison photo. :( It came with the doghouse, (obviously) the pillow, a doggie mat, and two food bowls. (photos below)

This the actual Lindsey's bag! I've freaking out here!

 The logo changes color!

This is Coconut's pet carrier. (not sure what edition) Sorry it's a bit dark in there! ;)

 This is the luggage tag it say Coconut on the back an a place to put your address and phone number. Needless to say I won't be writing on that! :)

These little AG sized books were in Lindsey's bag. Their not from Lindsey's collection. Does anyone know if these are actual AG? They don't have AG markings anywhere.

 And these are the things that came with the dog house: The reversible doggie mat which has paws on one side an striped on the other. It's a sort of sturdy rubber. P.S. Hey? Anyone like my shirt?? ;)

I also came with two of these. My web cam doesn't focus, but it says "eat, nap, play"

 So hooray! This week was success for me and my dolls!

Garage Sale "find"

Hi Guys! Today, Grandma, Mama, and I went garage saling. I came across an Alexander Girlz doll from 2007. I knew it was an Alexander Girlz because it looks like Maddie but had different hair and eye color. I got more than just the doll but I'll show you all that later. ; )

She's a total fixer-upper but I'm willing to do it. :) Her legs and arms are surprisingly tight compared to her appearance. Her hair has been very badly cut and I really need to find a wig on THIS website.

I really like the dress she came with. I don't know what brand it is though. :)

I don't know how Maddie with take this. She's been bugging me since I got her about getting a new wig. ;) She'll freak if she finds out I'm rewigging this doll!

I will do an update when we rewig her so you guys won't miss it. :)

Final thing to say, I am planning on getting my new blog up before Christmas. I really working on ideas so I don't bore you for the first few months. ;) I've decided to reveal one of the five dolls participating...........KENDALL MATTHEWS will be one of five in our new blog!

( : Thank You : )

Garage Sale Finds Part 2

Hi everyone! IT'S MICKEY'S GIRL HERE! Ok first off I would like to say, I'm sorry for not posting in a while and I will be going on vacation for 10 days and will not be able to post during that time. But we'll get back to that later!

So once again, I went garage saling! And I go a bit overboard when we go garage saling! We went Friday and Saturday and I spent all of the 20 bucks I had! So I decided to make this a (sorta) series! ENJOY!

Ok so I got a small picture frame sized for my AG doll. I printed out a photo of Julie and cut to the size needed. (2"x1"1/2)  $0.50

Then I got another frame! I printed a large picture of Anna and cut it in half. ( 2"1/2 x 3" 1/2)

$0.50

Ok, this item may (make that, is!) be R@n:DoM but I thought it was unusual!

$1.00

Probably my best find of the day was this locker from Limited Too (now known as Justice). I guess is was used for a jewelery box of some sort? The detail on it was cool and its made out of metal, which, I can put bottlecaps on! It has shelves inside so it's great for storage!

$1.00

After I found that awesome item, I found this small totem pole, which, will go with Lanie's cultural collection! The lady who sold it said she had it about 40 years!

$0.25

At the same place I found that, I found this pair of small Teddy Bears. Their a little small for AG dolls but I knew that would happen when I got them. :)

$0.50 (both)

Next I found this Winnie the Pooh and Piglet storage box. I decided I'll use it for my Christmas doll who will be a major Disney fan! (And I put the Pooh bobble head on top). ;)

$2.00

Finally I found a big bag of play food that you would give to kids 3+. I sorted out what I thought was porportionate to my dolls. (Because I strive for perfection) :). I'm only showing you what was porportionate. Lets say three-forths of the bag worked for my dolls.

$1.00

It came with:

 A box of Vanilla Wafers, a box of Hamburger Helper, two boxes of Cheerios, two boxes of Old El Paso Taco Shells, and a Mcdonald's menu.

 11 krinkle fries, a box with Mcdonald's fries, a normal box of french fries, chicken nuggets, cookies, and three Pringles/Lays.

A Mcflurry, a fizzy soda bottle, a bottle of ketchup, two twisty bagguetes, a green bell pepper, a ice cream cone, a scoop of ice cream, and a pretzel.

Well that's everything I got! I will be bringing a doll on my vacation and will do a major picture post when I get back. I will try and tell you more tomorrow!

Garage Sale finds!

Hi everyone! Mickey's Girl here to show you some things I got going to garage sales today! I'm not showing you everything like the things I got for myself because, (1) It's boring stuff and (2) It"s personal!! So no snooping! ;)

I asked Maddie to do some modeling. Of course she said no because she hates having her photo taken and she's not the girly type. So I gave her 2 bucks to do it.

OK first off I got a small Guinea Pig stuffed animal for one of my dolls to have as a pet. $0.25

Then I bought this animal tray with lions and zebras to serve food on. (doll food) ;) It fit on Maddie's hands without me needing to put a ponytail on them. $1.00

Then I got this Monsters Inc. figure set. New in the box. I know Maddie really wanted to play with them. I told her it's for the doll I'm getting for Christmas and that she can't open it. It came with Mike, Sully, George Sanderson, Randall, Needleman, and Figus. $0.50

Then I found a Pooh Bear bobble head....well he doesn't exactly "bobble" his head but that's fine. Pooh had chipped paint off his nose, eyebrows, and shirt. I took a black Sharpie and covered his nose and eyebrows. I need to find a red one later for his shirt! :) $0.05

Then I found a few different frames. The smallest is painted gold and will hold a "wallet sized" photo ($0.50). The next one is covered in jewels and is slightly heavy, It's about the size of Maddie's head ($1.00). The last one looks like a flip-flop. It's kind of funny that the flip-flop frame is bigger than AG or Maddie's feet :) ($0.50).

Then I came across a small figure of EVE sadly, they didn't have Wall-E..... She doesn't have a stand so she can't stand up on her own, I'll probably figure a way to make her stand. Her head won't stay center and keeps leaning to the side. She has one normal hand and the other is her gun hand. I couldn't get Maddie to hold her due to EVE's round body. $0.20 (hey wasnt that much of a loss!) ;)

After I got that I found a picture of Peter walking across the water with Jesus. I'm not sure if I want to use for my dolls or me. :) $1.00 (although it should be free) ;)

Then I found a strange little box that looked kind of Egyptian? It's gold as has small fake diamonds and jewels. It's a very beautiful piece. $0.25 (pretty cheap for such a beautiful little box!) :)

Then I got this Hello Kitty hair clip. I wouldn't have picked it but it came with the Guinea Pig along with some arm bangles. In my opinion it's too big for their hair and Lord knows I don't like Hello Kitty. :) I'm sure Ivy will find a use for it cause she's the real fan! $0.25

This was also in the bag with the arm bangles and Hello Kitty clip above. It was the main reason (besides the Guinea Pig) that I bought that bag. It was a key chain that holds your money and it's the perfect size for my dolls! The zipper has a rose on it which reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. :) It looks like it's made out of faux leather. $0.25

Then I got the monkey from Kung Fu Panda to add to Ginny's collection. It's really from McDonald's. If you push it to the side it will jump and flip. $0.25

Finally I got a vintage figure of Strawberry Shortcake for Kendall's collection. She's absolutley adorable! I really don't like the "new" Strawberry Shortcake because to me I think their trying to make her look more mature which, in my opinion, is their worst idea ever. Strawberry Shortcake is not supposed to look 13 years old! $0.05

Thank you for looking and I will attempt to do Maddie's product review tomorrow. :)

Sincerely,

Mickey's Girl
