Barbie Bonanza!

To thrift, or not to thrift?  Wait, is that even a question?  Thrift!  Thrift always!  Thrift often!

I had a number of errands to run today, but was able to squeeze in a trip to a Goodwill between getting groceries and running to the bank.

I am so glad I stopped.  Someone donated a huge collection of Barbie dolls ranging from the 70's to late 80's.  I am not a Barbie expert.  I dug my way through the dolls and bought the ones that were in good condition, had near complete outfits, or looked interesting.  I also found a few clones!  Oh, and let's not forget 11" Bandai Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars!  Animated Storyteller Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Sweetie also found their way into my shopping basket.

Goodwill Finds from 5/16/2015

Identifying these dolls took nearly all of my dolly detective skills.  Thanks to Google and eBay, I was able to ID nearly every doll!
