First Thrift Store Find!

So today after visiting the post office, and picking up a lovely cup of Starbucks blonde roast coffee, I decided to visit the local Salvation army. It seems like the last time I've visited any thrift store all the toys are in clean plastic bags. I remember as a kid getting to dig through bins of vintage toys at our Goodwill. This salvation army had shelves upon shelves on Beanie Babies, which I collected as a kid but I will never feel the need to buy any more of those (I'm sure we have at least 100). There were a few Care Bear Plush animals, but after inspecting the tags they were from 2004.

And then I noticed a little green haired doll sitting all alone among the stuffed toys. I didn't think twice before picking her up. She had $.49 written on her foot, and I figured fifty cents isn't bad for any toy! And once she was purchased and slipped into my purse I checked Ghost of the Doll and sure enough she is a 1981 Strawberry Shortcake doll named Lime Chiffon. She may be missing her parrot, socks (poor girl) and shoes, but her hat is still held on her head with a tag and overall I am so happy I rescued her! Not bad for my first thrift store trip!
