I now have quite a bit to share with you, including some projects I did for my daughter's Christmas gifts. I'll have to go slowly, though, since I still have to photograph some of the items.
I thought I'd start out small by showing you my doll thrifting finds of the past two months.
This has to be one of my favorite finds to date: a rocking horse for the Bitty Twins. I'm holding onto this for a gift at some point, but I managed to sneak this Bitty Twin girl away for a few minutes to take pictures.
I am so happy with this rocking horse! It came from a thrift store near my in-laws. I had seen it a month ago when we stopped by for Thanksgiving, but they wanted $7.99 for it then. That might be a good price if American Girl were selling it, but I wasn't willing to spend that much at a thrift store. (Most Goodwills could learn a few things about secondhand pricing.) To my surprise, it was still there and marked down to $2.99 a few days ago!
In case you think I've lost my mind with this one, let me tell you why I bought a silver hand towel holder for the dolls - I'm going to use it as clothing racks in the boutique playset I'm working on for the dolls. I got the idea from other doll-lovers online, and I've been keeping my eye out for this piece for a few months now. For $2, I was pretty happy.
And ... that's it, with the exception of a mini book ($0.33) to add to the dolls' library. Sometimes you find a lot; sometimes you don't. That's part of the fun (and frustration) of thrift store shopping.

I can honestly say you see potential in things I would look twice at! But then I'm probably not looking at things with the same mind-set as you! Can't wait to see the boutique you make up --- I'm sure it will be genius just like all the other sets you've made!
