By the power of Greyskull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BY THE POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR OF GREYSKULLLLLLLLL!!!

the doll I have been wanting is finally mine

I have cried and coveted this doll for ages now well almost 3 years but that's long enough.


Ive looked on ebay everyday for hours at a time 3 have came up and I had bids on 2 only to stay up all night and into the morning staring that the computer like a hopeful little zombie baby to lose it in the last second and then spend the rest of the day crying over it..I know im 25 and im crying over toys..but I cant help it..

These dolls rarely come up ..and I only know one person with them my squeaky friend and master Menna ( what else do I call her ) im like her karate kid or something she is training me in the ways of collecting squeakys..if you saw her collection you would scream BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!!! ( I know I wont say it again twice is enough ) its amazing its enough to make your eyes melt with envy and love


So Menna helped me look for this doll and finally 3rd times the charm..it really was

I put down a 40.00 dollar bid and I was willing to go higher I would pay in blood for this doll ..Id probably kill for this doll..
but for once no one came by to stomp on my heart and I won..I got the doll for 10.00 plus shipping what a steal!!!!!!!!!!!


and here she is My Alan Jay little copy cat doll
her mirror was missing so I gave her a Barbie mirror I had and it was perfect
the mirrors are always missing I wonder why?

 Here she is with a couple of new friends Mary Ellen and My woodland bear doll

 A big group shot of some of my squeaky girls ( not all of them though )

 An Old ad I found I wish I had bought it at the time but luckily I saved it.

Thanks for reading :)

Its raining its pouring ..its flea marketing time for me

Its been raining off and on all week here
sunday I had planned on a early morning fishing trip only to wake up to the pouring rain and sounds of thunder so I went back to sleep woke up a few hours later and it was still raining ..staying in the house doing nothing was not the way I wanted to go so I decided it was time to go flea marketing.

Here are my finds and a couple from my last little flea marketing trip with my mom that I hadn't take pictures of..and also some new squeak toys I added to my collection!


So for some reason almost all squeakys seem to have a boy and girl pair and I finally made my first pair
a doctor to go with my nurse :)

 I ordered the doctor on etsy and he also came with the cute little girl bowler they are made by the same company Alan Jay

 I found this cute book ..its one of my favorite childrens book series ...after Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys of course :)

 This caught my eye and made me smile its a bank :)

 The illustrations in this book are similar to Maurice Sendaks

 another addition to my collection it has somebodys name written on it though..still cute

 Some kitsch salt and pepper shakers for my charity shop

 a paperweight that reminds me of carebears or something....
