She's Wonderous!

Welcome Friends!

I'm back with another post for today. 

As I've mentioned in other posts, every time I go to the store (Like Target or Wal-Mart) I always cruise through the dolly aisle. You have to right? 

Well this time it was Target. And I'm SO glad I also checked the clearance section because I found this little gem. 

The most beautiful Way Too Wonderland Lizzie Hearts! I almost couldn't believe my eyes. She was only $7.49! I searched and searched for the others but I must have been too late. Why was she discounted so much? Not sure but I am NOT going to complain! Target also had basic wave dolls (like Bunny Blanc and Faybelle Thorn) for $11.99. What a savings!

But I love this Lizzie. She is so beautiful and so perfect! Not sure what I think of the flamingo on the side of her head though. Might have to change that up and put it on top. It's secured on by hang tags. 

(a word of note. I had a difficult time getting her out of the box. FIVE hang tags on her head. Brutal!)

Her hair is extremely lackluster coming out of the box. Flat as a pancake. I had to brush and brush to get it to look halfway decent. I think she is a candidate for a spiral perm boil-dip.

But she is so pretty! I just love her! Looking at her from afar I kind of like the side flamingo. I might leave it for now. In the webisodes the flamingo is definitely on TOP of her head. 

Her upper dress is a simple aqua and she wears a necklace/shoulder guard combo with hearts.

And the ringlets are super cute with shades of purple and red mixed into her jet black hair. 

And the Queen of Hearts card collar? Stunning!

Lizzie doesn't carry a "purse" but a clock

It opens up to reveal a clock that's perfect for Wonderland. It might take a bit of force to get this to open. Mine appeared to be stuck. After one opening it does release a bit easier now. 

Perfect skirt: hearts and cards and spirals..... And a super cute open in the front design!

The SHOES! 

Could these not be more perfect for her? Hearts on the heel, cards on the back with an overall checkerboard pattern with hearts adorning the toe. 

So cute.

Her earrings are perfect, little queen chess pieces with a heart on top. 

And her ring? It's a hedgehog! So cute!

 
A picture of her hair, post brushing. As you can see it turned into frizz city. Yep, time for a perm. 

So, what do you think of Way Too Wonderland Lizzie Hearts? Planning on adding her or any of the others to the collection? 

I'll have more stuff coming up in the next few weeks! 

Until next time!

A Birthday Surprise

Welcome!

Here I am with a new post for you all! Finally right? :)

First of all I want to say that I do respond to every comment. Sometimes I don't get to them right away but I do get to them! Even if you leave a comment on a post that is a couple of years old, I still get them delivered to my email. Lately my email has not been letting me know when I get a new message so I apoloize if I've missed one along the way. 

I did get this comment a while ago and she would like some help ID'ing this outfit. I know someone who is AWESOME at outfit ID's. Can we help her out?

This is NOT my photo. This picture was a screen grab from Anderson's All-Purpose Flickr album. I hope it is okay if I shared. If not please let me know and I will take it down.

So as the title suggests, I celebrated a birthday last Tuesday and I received a gift from my wonderful hubby and son. I came home to a beautiful potted mum. Bright yellow and orange, perfect for fall! I also received a bag with a gift inside. 

The Moonlight Halloween Barbie! Hubby definitely knows what I like!

I started taking pictures of her in the box but then I realized that the bottom of the box had a tab so I could take her out and get some nice boxed but deboxed pictures!

Much better! She is so pretty and has a pretty face. Super cute cat ears! And I love the asymmetrical necklace.

I LOVE the dress! Cute little cat faces and a pretty purple color. I also like the corset top even if it is only printed on the dress. 

And cute shoes. I do like how Barbie shoes have gotten more fun since the introduction of the Fashionistas. 

There is even a cute little maze on the back where you can help Blissa the cat find the house to trick or treat. Or Trick or tret?

I can't believe that Mattel let that big of a typo slip on the box. Or is it some kind of funny that I'm missing?

I just love her and love that my husband got her for me! She will go perfectly with my other Halloween dolls. However this is not the doll you will want to buy for a body. She is a stiffie so she would be a good candidate for a rebody.

Friends, what do you think of Moonlight Halloween Barbie? Leave me a comment letting me know!

I have pictures taken for my other posts so I'll get those up in the next few weeks. 

Until next time!

New Post Coming!

Greetings!

I know my posts have been scarce. With my collection boxed up and finding absolutely NO loot at garage sales or thrift stores, my posts have been few and far between. 

But I never fear because my dad comes though for me every single time. And this time my hubby too!

I will have a post coming in the next week or so. I just got some awesome items that I can't wait to share with you all. Just got to get some pictures up and ready!

As always, you can subscribe to the blog and it will come right to your inbox so you don't need to check back. Only if you want to.

See you in a bit!

Notice Anything?

Welcome!

Sorry for the delay. Things have been hectic as of late. It's been crazy actually! Also been having fun playing with my little babes. He's 6 months already. Can you believe it? 

So, here is a picture of my doll shelf. Notice anything? (Besides the pile of laundry on the table :)

Not seeing it? Let me zoom in a little closer.

Now do you see it? 

Yep, there HE is!

Among my fabulous Wonderlandians is the newest member of my EAH clan and he is THE ultimate Wonderlandian.

Alistair Wonderland! Son of Alice in Wonderland!

The box says "Son of Alice." I guess "Alice in Wonderland" is kind of redundant. But I walked into my local Target to grab some baby essentials and as always, I cruse through the doll aisle. I saw a Faybelle Thorn doll for $15. Then I looked behind her and I saw Alistair and Bunny Blanc. Choices choices....but there needs to be more men so in the group so I chose him!

Hubby gave me the raised eyebrow look when I walked back to the car with him. I told him it was cheaper than I get them on Amazon, I had a 10% off coupon plus a gift card to use. He said they have me hooked. I admit, they do!

Alistair is your typical male EAH doll meaning they all have "Holiday Barbie Hard" hair. Not sure what is up with that so I thought about washing it. But the style holds true to his webisode counterpart so that's good. I like his look!

He wears an overshirt that has swirls on it. The undershirt and overshirt are sewn together with a velcro up the back. 

My husband commented on his little canteen. It's cute and a different twist on the bag or packs that came with the other two male dolls. Alistair is the ultimate explorer so he has a little compass on his canteen to help him get around!

As always, Mattel did a number with these shoes. They are so perfect I just can't even describe. Buckles, buttons up the side and wing tips fit him and look perfect with this outift. 

So much detail!

I like his hair. I really do. But what made me laugh is that his pants are capri length. But it does make it easier for us to put his boots on!

So as I mentioned I'm torn about whether or not to wash his hair since the style does match webisode Alistair. But there is one gal who I wanted to restyle.

Poppy O'Hair.

She also had "Holiday Barbie Hard" hair. Not sure why but this is what it looked like.

Not really liking this "fake" look. So I gave her a fabulous shampoo. 

How do you feel now Poppy?

I am impressed! It is so much shiner without all that goop in it. I also brushed it out and trimmed up some stray ends. I might fix up the front of the purple part, it still looks a little wonky to me. But it's fine for now. 

So pretty!

Poppy with her sister Holly. I think I might give Holly a boil dip to tame those stray ends but that's for another day. 

Well, that's it for today. Do you want to add Alistair to your collection? Let me know in the comments! 

Until next time!

My new acquisitons and something special

Good Afternoon! (or Morning or Evening where ever you may be in the world) :)

Finally I get a free moment to shoot out a post!

As mentioned in the last mini-post, we've been in the process of moving and it's taken me a while to figure out where everything is. Also because I was watching the baby, I had my mother-in-law and niece packing for me so unfortuatnlely it took extra long to figure out what was in which boxes!

FINALLY got it all done. Moving is such hard (and stressful) work!

I love the house we are in now. (Just a rental until our new one is built.) Naturally I had to set up some dollys! Most from my former shelf are carefully packed away but had to set up my newest loves. 

And the guest bedroom is just PERFECT for them!

One thing I like about old houses. They contain details that might not be found in a newer home. Like this built in bookcase. Perfect for my ever-growing EAH collection!

The most beautiful Apple, Briar, Dexter and his love Raven, and Cupid

Cedar, Blondie and my three awesome Wonderlandians: Kitty, Lizzie and Maddie.

The fabulous Cerise, Duchess, Ashlynn and her love Hunter, and the sweet sisters Holly and Poppy.

And on the end my two newest: Ginger and Darling.

On the bottom we have the most beautiful Thronecoming collection. Apple, Raven, Briar

And then we have Blondie and Cupid. As always, Enchanted Evening Barbie is also there because she's my favorite. (My mom had the original but my psycho aunt stole it from my grandmas house and sold it in her garage sale. Will NEVER let that one go.) *rant over* :)

In the middle we have a collection that I have not featured on my blog before. This is my "something special" that I mentioned in the subject. My Lord of the Rings Coronation Gift Pack. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lord of the Rings. It's my favorite books and movies of all time. So when I saw these action figures manufactured by Toy Biz, I wanted them. Because I have the best parents I received them for Christmas quite a few years ago. 

I love the detail however the faces of the girls could be a little less "old" I guess you could say. They didn't make Eowyn and Arwen as youthful as they look in the movies. 

Here we have Faramir (BE STILL MY HEART) and Lady Eowyn.

Next King Aragorn and Queen Arwen.

And Lastly, Eomer, King of the Riddermark (from Rohan.)

I just love the detail on these figures. They are really accurate and that's one of the reasons why I wanted them. 

Alright, on to the newest members of the Barbie family!

This one is easy. :)

This is Viveca from Barbie and the Three Musketeers. Surprisingly she still has her crown/mask. You may recall from a long time ago, I picked up Corinne and Aramina also at the thrift store. Now I have all 3! I have a full outfit Corinne (Barbie) and a partial outfit for Aramina. I may have to buy them on eBay. It's fun to have them all now!

This one is a generic new body doll with a handmade dress. I don't think the entire dress is handmade but I know the lace on the front is. It's kind of haphazardly sewn on. Kind of pretty though!

Next this super sweet girl. And she still smells like strawberries! I just love her! I thought she might be one of the Beach Sweetie dolls but couldn't find one that had this outfit. Anyone know who she is?

Next we have this beautie. Mackie head mold? Yes please!

This is one of the 2004 Zodiac Dolls. This is Aquarius. Her dress seems to be a little faded and her earrings are mostly missing but her emblem on the dress is intact so that's a plus. For $1.00 I couldn't pass it up!

Unfortunately her eye is a little wonky too. Boo. But I love the Mackie molds, they are my favorite. 

I have this girl NIB.

And lastly, I bought this. Also for $1.00 I couldn't pass it up.

It's the Barbie B-Book Computer! Works good and has fun word and math games for a child. 

Well, that's all for today. Have you made any purchases lately? My hubby put the kabosh on my doll spending. Maybe I can talk him into one here soon. There are a ton of EAH dolls I need to catch up on! :) 

Until next time!
