Yippee! This year Christmas shopping was such a good time. I found Presley some vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls (circa 1970's). Opps, one doll is missing in the photo. I had been bidding on ebay for them but ended up finding them locally for only $4.50 (yes, all 5 with clothes). The ebay thing just drives me so crazy, then the sellers undress them and sell the clothes separately.
I didn't know how I was going to wrap them, I decided to the Antique store and find a small piece of luggage or lunch box to put them in. I'm soo lucky I found this cute little canvas blue mini suitcase. It's in perfect condition and great for all those lil' toys she carries around. We are going to a party this weekend where Santa will come by for a visit. I'm thinking he may give this to her then.
I'm a little concerned that she won't like them. I don't know where she heard about Strawberry Shortcake. So I'm not sure she really knows what she's talking about... I guess they are so cute she'll probably like them regardless.
Disclaimer I have written that I don't buy plastic toys. I have decided buy second hand plastic toys. I feel like I'm not adding to the plastic pile in our land fills. Instead I'm increasing the life of this toy. Plus Presley is getting older and having more of an opinion about things... It's a work in progress! Looking for balance.
