Skooter

Made it thru the Hurricane without losing my electricity! :) 
Yesterday before Hurricane Irene passed thru
I went to an Estate Sales which listed vintage Barbies. 
Got there a few minutes before the sale, but there were
about 25 people all ready waiting in line. 
When I got in I went over to the Barbies. 
They were priced as much as E-Bay prices. 
I only purchased one.

  4. Thanks all! She is a cutie! I had a choice between Skooter, Skipper, or Ricky. Ricky was priced much higher. I have a Skipper.

  7. @ Brini Thanks, I love looking for
    different dolls and posting about them.

    @Vanessa Thanks, it was still clear out when I went to the sale. After I left it started to rain somewhat but not from the hurricane. Also I was already prepared for what may have happened. Thank God that nothing major occurred.
