Girly yard sale!

I normally don't go to yard sales on Friday but I saw a nice sale on Craig's List so I thought that I would see if I could find some treasures.  I did.....

I found this cute Madame Alexander doll for $5.00!!!!!  She is Goldilocks and her prices on ebay go from $19.99-$55.00.  She is in perfect shape but she doesn't have a box so I'll just display her with some other dolls.

This little Madame Alexander beauty is Lady Lee and she, too, was $5.00.  Her ebay prices range from $19.99-$90.00.  She is perfect but without a box so she will be displayed as well.

Finally I found this vintage Disney Cinderella wind-up music jewelry box for $1.00.  It is so cute and it plays Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo from the movie.  The little Cinderella inside the box twirls as the music is played.  My granddaughter should really like this.

                  I checked ebay and I finally found the same box listed for $12.95!  

Maybe I should go to Friday sales more often!

Pink Saturday in muggy AZ

I'm joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday.  I haven't participated in eons but I found some "pinks" that I wanted to share.   My "pinks" for today sort of follow a doll theme so here we go...............

My first pink is of my granddaughter, Lillian, after her dance recital.  She loves pink so she received a dozen pink roses for her Tiny Tots performance.  She had pink tights and a lot of pink material mixed in with the green on her tutu.

 Another doll......    A Madame Alexander with unbuttoned shoes!  I think that her dress is adorable.

This little doll has a darling pinafore over a pink dress.  She has a very pretty face.

Some pinks in a spare bedroom.  The cupcake was a gift.

Adorable doll stroller with pink lining and a pink Sunbonnet Sue doll quilt.  I had the Gerber baby doll and found everything else at a sale from Craig's List!!!!!

These flowers are so pretty and delicate-looking.  I found this today at an early morning yard sale.  Not bad for a $1.00

Visit Beverly's blog for more eye-popping pinks.  Enjoy your weekend.

"Easter Parade" of sales

Once again I ventured into the glorious world of yard/estate sales and I'm glad that I did.

This first photo is of a pretty red rose in bloom in my backyard.  It has nothing to do with yard/estate sales, but I thought it was nice to look at anyway!

I found these three darling, puffy "Bunnies by the Bay" at a yard sale of a mother and daughter.  I struck up a conversation with them and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.  I was taken with their friendly smiles and easy, delightful conversation.  Merlie, the mother, and Amanda, the daughter, were selling a variety of things including Vera Bradley handbags, Coach and Dooney.  They also had so many wonderful books...decorating, doll, and cooking...as well as some furniture and wonderful home decor items.  Merlie has a real eye for decorating and I wish I could have bought the vignette in her living room (the sale was both inside the house and outside in the yard and garage).  I even went back the next day to visit and buy stuff!!!  It was so nice to meet such gracious people.

 The red bunny in the middle was $2.00 and the white ones were $1.00 each...all from Hallmark.


This three-tiered serving stand was crooked and stuffed into a plastic bag.  For some reason I liked it and instantly came up with a proper use for it.  So I straightened it out and............

 put some of my miniature dolls on it along with an old tea set.  I'm still not finished with it but at least I now have a purpose for buying the serving stand.

 The two little Victorian dolls on the top tier and the two dolls in front (pink and blue) are from an estate sale. You really should click on the photo to enlarge it so you can really see the detail. They are Maud Humphrey Bogart pieces and I spent a whopping $8.00 on all four!

The mini frames below are from Merlie and Amanda's sale.  I don't think that I've seen frames quite as tiny as some of these.  I like the rose pictures in the frames, however, I think I'll switch some out for photos of my grandchildren.
