last thrift outing of 2011 = 3 faced doll

i stopped at our local thrift shop on thursday and saw this delightful (very clean and very non smelly) blue train case. it was a wee bit high priced for my liking. so, i decided to chance it and wait til it goes to half price. (i consider this a big ol step in the smart business direction as 1-2 years ago, i would have purchased it right then and there.) since we have a basement full of really good vintage stuff that we haven't listed yet, we have the luxury of not having to jump on every good item within our budget.

i didn't really find much on thursday, i believe it was thanks to the nice chunk of cash left at walmart and back seat full of nothing special groceries.

but look what i was able to score just a day later. that train case was half price! (patting myself on the back for a little patience paying off). also, the three crafty items were half price as well. (all 4 items half price -- a super way to end my 2011 thrifting!) the 2 pieces on the left, sequins and big ol orange vintage beads...were less than a quarter each...they had to be super cheap since they will sit for a bit before being part of a bigger collection of similar vintage craft items. 


oh, and i got rubber doll head that has 3 faces on it.


***screeeeeeech***

you got a what? with what?

yes. an unused doll head with three faces on it. sleeping, awake/happy, and crying.

yes. creepy.
totally 100% creepy. and bizarre too.


apparently there was a stint awhile back (50s and 60s) when these 3 faced babes were commonplace. who knows, maybe they are permissable in the doll world. par for the course for doll makers. being a i-don't-need-a-damned-doll gal, that would have messed me up something fierce.

i'm totally stoked about thrifting in 2012. how about you?

linking up to thrift share monday today.
