When I was little, I had an old (even then) composition doll called Blinky that I liked, but I've always cared much more about stuffed animals. Until now.
So many amazing, old dolls get donated to the store. The sorters usually throw out anything dirty and broken--the best ones! I've started to rescue some.
(The sorters save the non-alive, pristine porcelain ones--scam collectibles--the sort you see advertised in women's magazines:
"Only three payments of $39 each!")
Here are some of the ones who've come home with me.
The Mars explorer is not a reject.
Below are some of the toys and things on my desk at work--all things donated to the store, except the Flying Tiger, who I brought in.
Do I like Captain America?
I admit, I do.

I love those dolls! Some people have the worst taste!
ReplyDeleteI never did like those collectible ones.

Who DOESN'T like Chris Evans?!
ReplyDeleteIt must be a lot of fun to salvage things that would otherwise be trashed. Although I fear I'd wind up with shelves and shelves of stuff that way! LOL
KIRSTEN: Some of the volunteers in Housewares prefer bright and pristine things--whoever put a tarnished sterling silver dish in metal recycling...
ReplyDeleteSTEVE: Right? Chris Evans is beautiful and seems to be a good guy.
I would rather not bring home too much stuff, but I don't want it to be thrown, that's for sure.
