Thrift store doll props


I decided to stop by a couple of thrift stores on my way home Friday. I really haven't had time to go to a thrift store and really don't need to go, but I thought I might find some of those fixer upper dolls I see over on youtube. 
No dolls in our area. Though I did find some odd Christmas decorations that looked like they would fit in a doll diorama or something. I am sort of glad I didn't find much, because I really don't need more stuff. It was relaxing just to browse and walk for a few minutes.
Then I had to get my car checked out, oil change and to my surprise I had slick tires. I replaced them happily. I get so busy I had no idea I had slick tires. I thought something felt strange and I needed to get my car checked.
I stopped by a dollar store on the way home to pick up some treats for my Bichon. I added some of that tiny tinsel to my basket and some copper colored tea lights. I really like copper and red colors so much.
The two little Christmas trees I found were just the right size for Barbie dolls. I didn't really care for the decorations on them, because they were too large for the scale in my opinion.
So I spruced one up and started making little tiny decorations of my own. Here are the results so far.
 Barbie's TV will be out of the room for a while, because there is just no room for the tree. 
 It was really a task to string all those beads to look like ornaments. I used green threads I had from those little repair kits from the dollar store. There's never enough thread on one of those to do a large project, but perfect for small craft ideas. Maybe it needs more tinsel and an angel on top? The tree in front is how it looked with the oversized stuff on it. I am going to reuse the presents for under my other tree.
