A Great Find.....

Tim and I went out today to visit a man who visited the church last week, however we didn't find him home. We decided that since I kinda messed up our thrift store shopping on Thursday (remember our rather lengthy trip to Petersburg, VA for lunch.....yeah, that trip!) that we would hit a few today on our way back home from visitation. And our last stop was the new Goodwill that opened last summer. And look what I found for the girls (and boys) to play with when they come to visit! A Barbie Doll Hotel! Go ahead and guess how much it cost me! I have recently seen smaller houses in the thrift stores for $30 and $40! YIKES! There is NO way I would pay that much for it! NOT used! So, have you made your guess? Go ahead and think about it before I tell you........that I only paid $6! That is correct! $6! Now, granted it is not in perfect shape, there are a couple little breaks, but it still folds together nicely and has plenty of furniture to start out with! And as you can see in the second picture, I have plenty of dolls for both girls and boys to play with! I only have one of the 4 Barbies sitting on the bed and I was fortunate enough to find a Ken the last time. And also a super hero, Spiderman! Who happens to be sitting on the roof in the 2nd picture, lol! Yes, Ken is in the tub! I can't wait for the kids to get to play with me......I mean with the house and the dolls! :) If you click on the pictures you will get a bigger and better view of the toy! I set Spiderman up to look like he was talking to Barbie. I think she is trying to get him to come down off of the roof! :) What?!! I still have an imagination! :)
