Oh yeah, I love NCIS too!  I have a doll here that I think would make a good Ziva too.  Would be fun to make the whole team, but where would you find a Jethro??

Hi Twang!

I like those Kens!  They are just natural looking troublemakers

So, Twang, about the growing up skipper question I asked???

Thank you Twang.  I never had an interest in picking her up for my collection, but when i read that about her, I changed my mind  Then I saw you had one and wanted to know how the world she 'works'.  I like to add Barbies that have 'gimmicks'. But, since i have parting with quite a few dolls, I have also parted with some of the more modern dolls that also had some gimmick about them.  Just can't keep them all

Enjoy away, Twanger!  I still have a few more boxed Barbies that I want to part with.  Trying to get down to a 'reasonable' number of dolls; whatever 'reasonable' is  I just decided that I had too many. Period.  I look at completed listings to check for values because I figure that sales here gives a good ballpark figure.  I generally take an average price of all that have sold for a particular doll.  What I hate, is finding that one high sale price and then saying to myself, "Nope, can't sell that one!"  I just checked CL again tonite for Tangerine Twist and Sound of Music Barbies.  I figure now that I can safely part with those 2 as obviously they aren't that hot of a doll to keep around.  It is kind of funny that at the time you buy them, you think they are so neat and then after you have them a while, it's like, why did I ever buy that??  Always entertain the idea of deboxing; keeping the doll or the outfit.  Already have lots of loose dolls and tons of clothes.  In the last 2 years I have sold (not here)well over 200 loose dolls and around 35-40 boxed.  Still have 240 loose dolls and 127 boxed!!  I always wonder how many dolls other people have and will ask(like my friend) and never get an answer, ha!  I figure then, they must think they have too many as well

same here.  i keep one bin for extras that i will use to redress and try to do at least one thing each day and focus on whittling down my round-TUITS.

clothes or dolls that i don't want to use i put in a separate bin "someday" i'll list or thrift in batches.

and i purposely avoid bidding on LOT auctions, there's just too much in those, and unused stuff would end up becoming unneeded clutter.

i'd much rather play than fix up.

am really liking the vintage calico i've accumulated

Midge came wearing only a bathing suit

now she's wearing a very well-made vintage no-tag

hi Carolyn, awww very cute

luv your bride and her dress

you did a marvelous job on Ken's scottish outfit

i am LOL looking at the fuzzy soporran

giving my three red-haired lasses a look see

i wonder what they would think of Ken in his finery~

I love those Midge wedding photos.  Just wanted to share mine too.

Carolyn--Love your Midge and Ken!  I always knew Ken had feelings for Midge.  When i was a kid and played with my dolls, Ken was always seeing Midge on the sly  I too, like the Scottish outfit you made for your Ken!  Right now on display I have a blonde vintage Midge in Senior Prom and vintage Ken in his tux, as a couple.

touchdowns--Midge makes a beautiful Bride and Alan looks pretty cool in the tux.  I note that he has straight-forward looking eyes and not the side eye.  You have a pretty Midge.  Some Midges looked pretty wonky. Barbie looks beautiful too!  Sometimes I have a hard time discerning a #3 vs #4.

Hi Twang--You are welcome.  Midge looks good in her dress.

Yay for all Midges

Twang--I was in such a hurry posting the last time I was in here that I forgot to mention the miniatures you have(in pic with Midge & blue dress)  The tiny white table and chairs are awesome!
