This weekend, I had my best thrift store find yet.
The store has three places where I sometimes find AG: a shelf where more expensive items are displayed, a shelf where porcelain dolls are piled, and a shelf where play dolls like Cabbage Patch and Our Generation are piled.
The porcelain doll shelf was really full, so I was pulling dolls out and looking at them just to be thorough.
On the bottom of the pile was this beautiful Addy, and she was marked as $3.99.
I grabbed her and I ran straight to the checkout. I did not breathe until she was stored safely in my trunk.
I think that the collection of an adult doll collector was donated to the Goodwill. Most of them were porcelain. Addy was on a stand like the porcelain dolls and was priced as though she was one of them.
Addy is a Pleasant Company doll. I think from the way that her wig is made that she is a first edition. I think she has been sitting on a shelf untouched for all these years. The elastic in her pantaloons gave out, but that's normal with age.
A Tale of Two Addys
One of my friends found a Pleasant Company Addy for $25 earlier this year. She lives further south than I do, so when we found out that it was snowing here today, she suggested that we take pictures of our Addys enjoying different weather on the same day.
Here is my Addy:
Here is hers:
I think hers looks like she has sunburn across her nose!
I am really in love with my Addy and so happy. Now I have two Addys, Beforever Addy and Pleasant Company Addy!
