Had to post this before my daily postings since I will probably
forget later on.
Kudos toThe Selling Sisters
for posting about a website called
Fat Fingers is a search site that finds typos and spelling mistakes on E-Bay.
It's a great tool for finding a hidden treasure on E-Bay.
I tried it searching for Barbie. Either a pop-up window comes up or below the search window you can click a link which comes up with the results on E-Bay. You then have to find the doll category on the left side of the E-Bay listings.
Barbie (in dolls) produced 187 results with mistakes or typos in the E-Bay postings.
I found one Barbie doll to put in my watch list.
Happy doll hunting!

Very Special Project
Ken and Barbie Fashionistas
Mattel 2009
Made in China
My older daughter KT is getting married in February, so I thought I would find a bride and groom
doll to surprise her at her bridal shower. At first I thought I would buy an all ready made couple from E-Bay. But then had the idea of getting a Barbie and Ken doll and dress them up with a complete wardrobe.
They had to be the right dolls. Chris has blond hair and KT is a brunette. I knew I wanted the Fashionistas
Ken was easier to find then the brunette Barbie.
Now I am on the hunt for the wardrobe and a pair of glasses for Barbie. I don't sew (I probably could, but there is a story behind why I don't) Will save that story for another day. KT's future mother-in-law has told me that KT said to her that I would probably do some crazy thing like this. KT does not share my passion for dolls. (Neither does my younger daughter).
Any ideas on what to include with the Bride and Groom would greatly be appreciated.

Even though I already had a mint in box doll, I couldn't pass up a bargain.
Bought from the same seller as the Sheer Illusion Barbie.
Was lucky to find her listing. Not a word in the posting that she was a silkstone.
