Disney Animal Kingdom Barbie

Animal Kingdom Barbie 
Disney Exclusive
Mattel/Disney 
1998
Made in China 
Flea Market find

Such a beautiful day today.  Got out of the house at 7:45 this morning
to start my Treasure Hunting.  The first garage sale I wanted to go to
opened at 8:30 and in the newspaper ad it said "Barbie Dolls".
Found three boxed Barbies, two baby dolls, and 
two Hallmark Barbie unusual ornaments. 
The next stop was the Flea Market I usually go to every week. 
Found only one boxed Barbie.  
My biggest finds were at my next stop.
It was at a yearly flea market held by one of the churches in my area. 
There was one lady who was selling Barbies and I almost wiped her out. 
I purchased all her bags of clothes and accessories.
4 small boxes filled with shoes. 
The Animal Kingdom Barbie and another redressed Barbie. 
And two different sets of Barbie Sisters. 
I even met two former co-workers who I haven't seen for awhile.
The next three stops consisted of the Thrift Store, a house sale, 
and another flea market which produced nothing of importance.
All in all it was a good day. 
Just maybe I will go back to the first garage sale tomorrow since the lady
said they had more stuff they hadn't gone through yet. 
More Barbies?

  1. Just found your blog! Love it...I went thru each entry. I tried to blog but wasn't very good at it. May have to give it another try. It would be interesting to know what you paid for each doll. Thanks for sharing your collection.

  2. Thanks Shelly, I am glad you are enjoying it. Any of the new dolls I purchase from the store, I may pay full price or will say if I get it on sale. Thrift Store dolls are priced between 99 cents (nude) to 9.95 boxed (depending on who they are). Flea Market/Garage Sale finds between .25 up to 30.00 (the higher range is for dolls that were originally priced about 70.00) And on E-bay, it depends on how much I want the doll to the rarity of it. (I may go a little overboard).
    Try blogging again, it doesn't have to be everyday. Just write about something you enjoy. Will be glad to help if you have any questions.

    Enjoy and have a great week!

  3. I love this Barbie. I don't think I've ever seen her before. You did clean up. 4 boxes of shoes! Oh my. Oh I can't wait until I am able to go thrifting again.
