There is a story behind why I posted this doll today. This morning, while driving home from K-Mart I spotted a sign for a yard sale that I had been to before. The last time I was there probably last fall the lady conducting the sale said she would find Barbies she had and would put them away till the next day. I went back, but for some reason she wasn't conducting the yard sale. When I walked up to the sale today, the lady remembered me and said she had the dolls packed away in another part of her garage and didn't take them out. (You wouldn't believe all the stuff she was selling.), So I gave her my name and phone number and told her to call when she got to it since she lived close by. She has been having problems. Her husband hasn't worked for over a year. Having trouble paying her mortgage and needed money to pay a storage unit where she had more things to sell. There are times like this when I wish I was a millionaire so I could just hand out money to people in need. So I started looking around and found a few things I wanted to buy, Looking through containers, I came across these odd looking plastic thigamajigs. (for lack of a better word) There must have been about 10 small packages of different colors. Suddenly an idea came to me, would it be possible to use these as replacement earrings and rings for some of the playline Barbies I had. The problem of missing Barbie rings and earrings has been bothering me for sometime, since I have no talent for crafts, sewing, re-rooting, or painting.
