Update on my mannequin girl. To tell this story in a fast way, the mannequin I was watching had a
buyitnow and I was just waiting to get paid so I could purchase her. Her bidding price was $10.00 lower, of course she all of a sudden got a bid before I could make the purchase. Then I realized I would have a fight on my hands. *
hahah* I just HATE having bidding wars against people so I had sort of gave up hope. Until I had a thought.. Check the sellers store again. AMAZINGLY ENOUGH he had listed the same mannequin girl 3 hrs earlier again with a
buyitnow. I had to act fast!! There was no time to waste.. I bought that chick faster than you can say HOT SALSA! Good thing too.. cause I suppose the seller now realized his fiberglass people were priced pretty darn well because now he charges 10 more dollars than he had previously. I checked the tracking today and she made it through customs and was in Ontario. So I assume she should be here within 2-3 days. *
Whhoohoo*
Other than that here is a few items I found whilst
thrifting.
Cute leopard beret hat $0.99
Makeup bag with mirror $1.99
This amazing blue coat with purple buttons and purple silk lining in the inside. It is too big for me sadly. The store I was in was having a sale and so darn busy. I just wanted to pay for my stuff and get out of there. It is 100% pure wool. Since it does not fit me properly, I think it would be excellent for a flasher.
lol
Congrats on the buy, I think the waitting is half the fun when you know it's your's. It will be just as Christmas should have been when it arrives.
ReplyDeleteKeep us updated on the mannequin- she sounds great! And I LOVE that coat- would it be worth getting it altered? Its very pretty!

ReplyDeleteIt is very exciting!! I have been wanting a mannequin lady for years so it's as if a small dream is finally coming true. lol
@Alyssa Bee I will do a unboxing post the day she arrives. (Hopefully tomorrow) *fingers crossed*
Since the coat would probably need quite alot of altering I think I will find a new home for it. After all this store has this 1.00 tag sale weekly and I am sure by next fall I will have found a better suited and fitting vintage wool coat again for the 1.00 price tag.
