Mail Order Item and Some Research

Two things before I cut to the chase in this post. Laundry day for Barbie! Told you all I was going to. :)

Second. Last night I was searching Google images for the 2005 Cali Girl Christie so I could find pics of the shorts she wears with the top I have. I was not getting success so I added the word "aloha" in the search (since her shirt has Hawaiian flowers on it.) Whatever you do, DON'T add aloha to the search. Just. don't. do. it. (Apparently there is a porn star who's name is Aloha Christie. Yeah. No.)

Okay! Onto more friendly matters!

So I mentioned that I ordered a couple things and I got package one of two today. (My friend has the other package so I have to wait for that one.) But this one came to my house.

Remember Working Woman Barbie wearing the Day to Night jacket?

Remember when I found one Day to Night shoe at the thrift store?

Well, here is my purchase!

Ta-da!

It's a little blurry but you get the idea.

Day to Night Barbie accessories! When I found the Day to Night shoe at the thrift store, I had not yet won this auction. I was secretly hoping and wishing and praying that I would win this. And I did! You can't ask for a better selection of pieces than this.

And here she is!

Day

It was a pain to get that briefcase to stay on her hand.

The briefcase is flawless. No scratches or scuffs. Just general marks from storage or light play.

What's in the briefcase? All the essentials needed for work and a night on the town.

Now, Night!

The shoes are the best part.

And her top has very little snags and strings that have come undone. This type of fabric is so notorious for snagging with play.

And the super cute purse.

Oh my goodness, I am in love! She definitely ranks up there with my favourite Barbies of all time. I am so super excited with how this doll fits the 1984 Day to Night Set.

It is by no means complete yet. Still need some day items: the hat, scarf and purse. On eBay I saw a few hats by themselves so I think I'll wait. I mainly wanted the skirt and shoe. How lucky that I had one shoe from the thrift store! But completing outfits is one of my favorite things about buying Barbies!

The seller also threw in some extra goodies. What a nice seller!

Didn't Barbie have some Lee Jeans fashions? This must be where the bag came from.

I also did a little research on Liv dolls and the doll that I left behind at the thrift store was a Liv. Here she is.

She is the Sophie Liv It's My Nature Doll. If she's there I'll pick her up for the articulated body. (She also had a wig.)

Until next time!

Shoe-a-palooza

Well, I dug to the bottom of the toy bin again. Shoes seem to be my going thing right now at the store. But I did manage to walk away with one doll!

Yeah, no clue. Her back says Mattel (Indonesia). Her nose is a little dirty, hehe. She has a ring on her left thumb and black nail polish.

She also has some blue streaks and some sections of the hair appear to be white and crimped. The first pic shows a little bit of the white if you look by her elbow. She also has not the BIG flat feet, but flat feet with a little bit of high heel shape.

Only one piece of clothing today. WNBA shorts.

Time for the accessories!

Cute little ice blocks. I thought I could use them as a prop for one of my ice skating dolls.

Two crowns. Not sure if they are Barbie or not. I'm sure the pink one on the right is.

A little charm with Glitter Hair Barbie on it.

I like turtles and this was so cute. It's marked 06 Mattel. Didn't some of the mermaid dolls come with little ocean friends?

A blue hand mirror

You cannot believe how excited I was when I found this shoe.

Day to Night Barbie! Did she come with a pink calculator? Looked fun for Barbie so I picked it up too. I picked up the Day to Night jacket like 3 weeks ago. How did I not see the shoe?

And the shoes!!! (and a hair curler casing)

It seems that this time I made only one pair (the pink open toes in the front). The big chunky blue shoe I'm pretty sure I got last time. And what is that thing in front? Sock? Mitten?

The Help! Just an ID on the doll up top and the pink calculator. And the red sock/mitten thing above!

I love digging to the depths of the toy bin. Sometimes I think that something is alive in there (seriously, there was the heel of a french bread today, no joke). But look what I find when I dig!

I'm waiting for a package and when I get it, I'll post up what I got. Can't wait!
