Treasure!

I can count on my hand my list of fantasy finds at flea markets.  Today, one of them came true... well, half true.  $5 for a Blythe head?  Yes, please!  :)


I don't know much about Kenners, so I'm not saying she's a Kenner until I'm 100%, completely positive.  For now, I'll just be happy to have found a Blythe head in working order.  She'll be going to a spa (most likely) and getting a body.  I'm excited.  Like, REALLY EXCITED!  Thanks, Erin, for finding her.  She's a treasure.  :)  xo Katie

    Oh how wonderful! I wish I could find such great treasures. :] I want a Blythe so desperately! I wish they weren't so much money.

    Love and Turtledoves,

    holy freaking hell, congrats.
    thats one of my dreams too haha and the price is even perfect (normally their price is a little crazy)
    It gives hope those those who hope to someday find a kenner at the op shop, i know ive been searching for a few years now myself :)

    I bet she will be gorgeous when she is all fixed up a little.
    you have a beautiful little brunette kenner head there! :)

    (you can also modify a takara or licca body to fit her so she is "whole" again! :)

    I stayed up until 4 am working on her (for fun, of course!), and she is looking great!

    My flea market pal and I always talk about one day dreaming of finding one! I can't believe it happened. I'll post pictures for everyone to see once she's all fixed. :))))))))

    That is such a great find! I always check the thrift stores for Blythes & Blythe parts, just in case. :) Haven't found anything yet but now I know I shouldn't give up! Congrats, she's gorgeous!
