Thrift Store Wednesdays! 1

So after a bit of a lapse n going, I really want to start going to thrift stores regularly again. So I think Wednesdays might be the best time for me. I know I'm late to posting, but here is the loot from my last Wednesday...
I normally like to take more individual pictures, but what do you think? : )
And no, I did not find the Ever After High Dolls at a thrift store,  but there is a Toys R Us right by the two shops I frequent, so when I learned they were having a deal of doll packs of 2 being on sale for $25, how could I say no to these girls who I have been admiring for awhlie! I need to do a formal review of them, just because they are so detailed and intricate, but anyway...
The actual thrift store finds are the Disney Animator Doll Belle for $4, and the Funko Pop Sally in a big bag with these other dolls for $3.
I have loved the Disney Animator dolls for awhile, and luckily I have been extremely lucky to find so many at my local thrift stores over the past few months. I have gotten a Snow White (in the middle of customization), a Merida, another Merida (which I have sold), Ariel (which I have sold), a Mulan (after my sister bought me a new one from the disney store this past Christmas. They have two very different outfits so I am keeping both), and just a couple days ago I found Belle! I have admired Belle for awhile, and was excited to finally get her. I have always admired her blue and white dress on the doll more than the yellow ballgown, so that was a bit of a disappointment, but I mean she is in really great condition. Her hair was pretty tangled and her dress is dirty, I'll really have to take after pictures. Then I found a Funko Pop Sally for $3, which really surprised me. I have a few funko pops, but I mean I haven't seen The Nighmare Before Christmas yet, but I mean a $3 Funko Pop? I couldn't say no! I'll probably re-donate that weird doll in the hat and the toddler doll, but I mean the polly pocket I may hold on to for sentimental reasons, and the little Strawberry Shortcake friend looks very cute.
So, those are my finds for today. I really hope I can update my new dolly finds at least every week, but I mean life has been pretty busy lately, but I'm very excited to wind down with summer.

4 Blind Bags! Blind Bag 1

So recently I've been really getting into bind bags, and so I decided to get 4 to try them out!
Sorry the Pic is kind of blurry, my boyfriend was in such a rush to open them I had to take these photos outside in my cars trunk! Opening them was really exciting and a lot of fun! First to be opened was the Spongebob erasers.

I got Patrick and a random snail! Both were fairly detailed for erasers, especially the random snail. Just letting you guys know, I really, really love Spongebob, so I was excited to find this little blind bag for just $4. I am likely to get more.
Next were the little DC Forever Evil figures.
They are so cute! I am casually into superheros, and to be honest I was only familiar with the evil Green Lantern (Power Ring) but I was happy to get the other little guys too, if a bit perplexed as to why I got the two with bows and arrows (Red Arrow and Merlyn). Personally I really like this set best because of their little evil features, even if its as simple as down turned eyebrows. I forgot the exact price, but I believe it is $3, and for 3 chibis I feel like its a great deal.
And then the Adventure Time keyring plushie...
And I got Fiona! To be honest I haven't really been into Adventure Time lately, Steven Universe has been my favorite show by a mile, but I think it's a little too new for toy merchandise yet :'( However, when I saw these little plushies, my heart melted a little, and I just had to get one! And I must say these are so cute, I think even someone who has never watched the show will think these are super cute. This one was on the higher end of blind bags, at $7, but still I think I will (slowly) work at getting more.
And onto the last package, the Avengers magnets.
I got one of the whole crew, 2 featuring Vision, and a Captain America one. For a bunch of marvel merchandise costing about $3 it's a pretty great deal. There are little holes on each of the top sides, which bugs me a bit, but not enough to take off my fridge. I think the concept of a magentic key ring is a bit dumb, but I love this set, but I don't know how many more I can get, since I don't really know what I can do beyond putting them on my tiny fridge
