Zoe: (adjusting the manikin) This dress is gorgeous. It won't last long now that it is out here!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Yara: The dress you put on the manikin is so beautiful, but I need something less formal. Can you help me?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: This has the same coloring, but with the lifted hemline it can be worn anytime, and it would look perfect on you!
Yara: Sold...perfect for this work awards dinner I am going to.
 |

Downstairs more customers enter. The shoe rack overflows with summer shoes..perfect for all the dresses flying out the door.
 |

Look at that Mermaid skirt...so fun and shimmery!
 |

Lanise: I can't choose EVERYTHING! DARN!
Vicky: It's nice to meet you, Jaida. I hope you do a open another business in the neighborhood. The more the merrier!
Jaida: We hope to be open by Fall. I will be in touch with you, when we do! We have paperwork turned in for the last shop at the end of the block.

EL: How about this jumpsuit, they are very popular right now?
|
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Lanise: I just can't make up my mind!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Lanise: This is a 'for sure' for Amy's wedding, now to find some shoes that will go with all three dresses!
And it is only 11:00 am on the first day of the sale.
 |
Carly: I'm starving Vickie. We've been here since 7 am, can Zoe and I sneak out and bring back some lunch?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Vickie: Sure, El and I can handle this, maybe no one has read their emails about the sale. Just bring me back a big shake and a salad.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carly: Let's go grab some lunch and bring it back.
Zoe: Sure, it's quiet now that those customers are gone.
Outside the door.....
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: Uh, oh....you go get lunch, I will bring this gaggle of girls into the shop, but hurry back!
Part 3 Sooooooon...
A bit of info on the sources:
Vickies Vintage: Made by my husband and myself. New lighting is LED battery powered and one spotlight for photos.
Fashions are almost all acquired from thrift stores, on thrifted dolls, or door prizes from online groups or from doll club. A few fashions have been purchased new.
Dolls shown today are mostly thrifted:
Carly was the first doll I ever ordered new (2017) was dropped and an arm recently shattered, so I did have to Ebay a used doll to replace her body with a perfect match.
Zoe was long ago thrifted 2017 and re-bodied twice and now with the new articulated body. (She originally had flat feet-why with that gorgeous face it made no sense.)
Yara recently thrifted. I had to redoYara's hair (I think she may have been a trashed Extra doll). She got a new haircut and fluff with refreshed braids as a headband. I should have taken a before photo of this one, lol.
Lanise recently thrifted and given a haircut has the old articulated body(someone may have rebodied her?)
Jaida recently thrifted (possibly a made-to-move) She had a kids ruined strangulated straight hair, I braided her hair into four braids and wound them on top of her head. She may get a bit of makeup down the road.
El was a Mattel Looks doll purchased new when she came first came out in the series.
Have you found any great
