Thrift Store Find

 I found this at the thrift store this week!

It's a Disney doll, maybe Cinderella, wearing the A Girl of Today First Day Outfit shirt.

I actually already have this shirt, but for $2, it came home with me!

I think the crown might fit AG dolls, so that's a bonus.

I'll donate the doll back to the local thrift store that benefits the community.

Anne Love

 There is a rumor that AG is coming out with historical twins from the 90s.

What I have seen of that collection has just made me love Anne more.

Anne is my Girl of Today from 1995. She is Girl of Today # 6.

Have you seen the original Girl of Today clothes? They are so awesome. They are all different colors and they are made of the same fabrics as real clothes. 

Anne had some fun in the snow lately. She gets to do all the things.

Thrift store Surprise!

 I went to the thrift store on my birthday, and I found a great surprise!

I had gone to this thrift store last week, and they had a few American Girl dolls for $75 each, but they were in carrying cases locked in a glass case so that I couldn't see which doll they were or what condition they were in.

I decided that I didn't want to go to the hassle of getting an employee to unlock the case, partly because of COVID and partly because the dolls I want are newer and unlikely to be donated to a thrift store.

This week, I tried going to the thrift store again on my birthday.

In among the porcelain dolls was a naked, sad Girl of Today #1 for only $25.

That was a price point I couldn't resist, so she came home with me.

Since she was naked and sad, I put her in some pajamas and posed her in Melody's bed so that she could get warmed up.

I think I am either going to name her Miranda, or name her after one of the girl characters in Melody's books.

For now I am calling her Miranda.

She has silver eye, and her wig is in bad shape. Her vinyl had some marks that I was mostly able to remove with a Magic eraser.

I think that she was very well loved by her former owner. I think that owner carried her around by her hair. Her elastic is in great shape, but her hair is very thin. It looks okay in a ponytail, but it's too thin to leave it down. It's also shorter than it should be.

The pointer finger on her left hand has a few chew marks.

A line has been drawn on her teeth to give her the look of braces (I assume).

I want to fix her up, but there's only so much I want to spend on fixing her up, given the chewed finger.

I have thought about giving her a fantasy wig, but fixing her silver eye would be my first priority.

Also, changing her wig would take away her cool identity as a #1.

So I am definitely going to think about the best way to help Miranda look her best.
