4 Days in a Row at the Thrift Store

Last week I came into a little bit of unexpected cash (legally!) and instead of saving it wisely, I decided I was going to the Thrift Store every single day until I spent it. It didn't take long.

MONDAY

Barbie 3 Story Dream Townhouse $14.95

At 3.5 feet high, this thing is a freakin' beast and I am in awe of it. It's missing a lot, the tv sticks and it's yellowed from the sun, but who cares?! It was 15 dollars! No clue what to do with it, but hey, it's mine.

This stuff was taped to it in a bag and the only things that actually go with the house are the juice and milk and maybe the bowl of fruit.

This was inside it too, but I know it doesn't go with the set and it's missing a keyboard. Still love it though.

Compared to my $4.95 Victorian house, it's much taller, but has less depth. Unlike the Victorian, its elevator works and once I replaced the batteries, so did all the sound components. The timer dings, door bell rings, fire place lights up and crackles, toilet flushes and Barbie "sings" in the shower.

They both are missing their front doors, but once inside the Townhouse, there seems to be about a half or three quarter inch more headroom.

Since I really don't have anyplace I can hide this monster, I'm situating both houses under my breakfast bar as I don't eat here anyway. I taped up some Bulletin Board paper behind them to make it more dioramic instead of looking like I just have crap sitting in the living room for no reason.

TUESDAY

Liv Nutmeg $2.95

The horse is missing its blanket and one hind leg has a crack in it. Other than that, absolutely awesome!

Barbie Cali Girl Chevy with CD Player $7.95

OMG, either a cat or a family of hamsters was living in this thing because it took me forever to clean the fur and glitter out of it. It was killing my sinuses, but it's all clean now. The audio cord/speaker works so I can hook my phone up to it and it will play out of the speaker at the bottom of the car.

WEDNESDAY

It's senior day on Wednesdays and they get everything 50% off. Do not go that day if you are in a rush because the line is looooooong.

As I was in checkout I saw someone had purchased this so I just missed out on it. Oh well, not like I need two Victorians... but I know I would have bought it if I saw it first, lol, just because its balcony is larger than mine. Anyway, here is what I did get:

90210 Brenda $7.95

Even though I was in my mid 20's when 90210 came out, I never missed an episode, so of course I had to get this. I also like Shannen Doherty and never missed Charmed when she was on it either. The doll kinda, sorta, but barely resembles her.

Barbie Jam 'n Glam Tour Bus $9.95

This thing too is a beast and it's dang heavy! It was completely taped up when I saw it so I couldn't open it. I could see the disco ball and light grid through the window and decided to get it just on that alone. It's missing a small speaker set and all the furniture that came with it, but it's cool regardless. I don't have the right audio cord to get it to work properly, but I know that the large speaker's light array will pulse as music is played.

This side of it is a little weird to me, but I've never been on a tour bus, so what do I know? The mirrors light up, but it's not worth 3 C batteries.

I keep my other cars underneath my craft table, but there is no way this behemoth is getting under there.

For now it's sitting on top of my accessories towers. I will probably have it do double duty by storing any music related accessories inside of it.

THURSDAY

Uh... an old Skipper(?), Stacey Dash and a BFC Ink(?)

These were in two different bags but each bag was $3.95. They are face molds I don't have so I snapped them up.

Janay Doll! (In same bag with Stacey Dash)

She's so photogenic! I cant believe it. My first and only Integrity doll and I found her at the Thrift Store. *twirl*

I'm sure rich people aren't trolling the Thrift Store, but if I had an unlimited supply of money, I would go every day!
