Pleasant Company Yardsale Finds!

This past weekend we went to yardsales that were included in the World's Longest Yardsale, that goes 624 miles from Ohio to Alabama. I am always on the lookout for American Girl Items (and even American Girl dolls!), because I have heard of lots of people finding American Girl stuff for really cheap at yardsales. I went to yardsales in the World's Longest Yardsale last year, and didn't have much luck. (but I did find a few doll-sized things.)

Well...with the help of my mom and my sister Hope, this year we found some Pleasant Company/ American Girl items!!

We found 7 American Girl books: Addy's World, Great Girl Food, Meet Felcity, Puzzle Crazy, Best That I Can Be, A Kaya Mystery: The Silent Stranger, and Molly Takes Flight. The paperback books were $.50 cents and hardbacks were $1.00! Some of these books I have never heard of before!

 

 

Some Felicity Pamphlets were hidden in the Meet Felicity book, and some stickers were hidden in a book too.

 

 

American Girl Buttons (I think they were called Grin Pins), were $.50 cents for two!

 

 

American Girl Doll-sized towel was $.50 cents!

 

 

Cheerleader skirt and 1 pom-pom and Samantha's Hat and Muff were $1.00 each!

 

Samantha's Hat and Muff are from 1989!

 

 

Jacket and Hat from the Pleasant company "First Day" outfit, was $1.00!

 

 

The Jacket and Hat are from 1996!

 

 

 Doll Hair cape, was .50 cents!

 

 

 

 

There isn't a Pleasant Company tag on this one, so I think that it is a Non-American Girl outfit. It was 1.00, and I think it is cute! :)

 

 

Bitty Bear was .50 cents! I almost passed her up thinking that it was just a ordinary bear but...

 

 

...the tag said Pleasant Company! :)

 

Now this was the biggest surprise of all that we found...

 

A Mini Kit, Mini Felcity, and Mini Samantha which were 1.50 for all 3! I was looking through a bag of Webkinz they had and then I saw blond hair and picked up Mini Kit! I showed Hope and we quickly searched some more, and out came Mini Felcity and Mini Samantha! I was so surprised and I still am! Mini Kit only came with one shoe, but they were such a great price and are so cute! :D

 

 

Hope's dolls and my dolls are so happy to have some new things! :)

Have you ever found anything American Girl or doll-sized at a yardsale/garage sale, flea market, or thrift store? I would love to know! :D

 

 

Flea Market Doll-sized Finds!!!

Yesterday my family and I went to a Flea Market in Ohio that we had never been to before. It was really nice, and it was even nicer when I found...

...a wooden desk and a wooden rocking chair both doll-sized!!! The desk was $5.00 and the Rocking chair was $3.50. I paid $8.50 total! They are made of real wood and are in great condition.

 

They fit American Girl Dolls perfectly!

 

 

The girls are so excited to be able to play school! :D

I am excited too, about finding these two doll-sized items! Have you ever found anything doll-sized at a flea market (or yard-sale)?

 

A Surprise Find from Target!

Well, Sunday night my family went to Target, because my mom wanted to get some new curtains. While I was walking in to Target I would have Never guessed what I would find!

It all started when I asked my mom if we could go to the toys aisle in the store. (I had known that Target had some nice 18 in doll clothes). My mom said ok and we headed to the aisle. When we got there I saw a few cute outfits, but then...my sister pointed out... A New Generation brand 18 in sized Doll Table and Chairs!!! It was SO Neat! (I had been wanting a table and chairs for my dolls, and thought I could get one this year for Christmas.) It was only 31.99 and my sister and I really wanted it. :)

My parents said that we could get it some other time, and I thought that it was ok if I didn't get it, though it would be nice to have it. So, we went to the cashier and bought my mom's curtains. DON'T STOP here though, it get's better. :)

While we waiting in line to buy the curtains my sister and I starting talking about putting both of our 20 dollars together, to get 40. (I didn't want to have to do that though, since I am saving up for a doll outifit I want.) Then I said that we could take some out of my bank account since I have pretty much money in there. And we did! We went to the bank next to Target, and got 40 dollars! We went back in target and bought it! My sister and I were SO happy!!! Here are some pictures of it:

 

Here it is in the box.

 

It out of the box and put together. :) It also came with 2 tea cups and saucers, and a tea pot. :)

Here is Kit on her chair. (Doesn't it fit the dolls well!)

 

Here is Elizabeth compared to the chair.

Sweet Kit. :)

I am SO very happy that my sister and I have the Table and Chairs now! I also got them for a very good price, for only 31.99! American Girl sells there's for about 75 dollars or more! I Think the American Girl brand Table and Chairs are nice, but these will do just fine! :)
