Great price on Cain, Brini! I enjoyed this story. It reminds me of going school shopping and getting at least seven different outfits so I wouldn't have to repeat wearing the same thing. The new clothes were mixed in with the clothes from the prior year. Things changed as I got older. In my senior year in high school I wore jeans to school every day, by choice. I had them in all colors. Yellow, cranberry, lime green, royal blue, purple are the colors I remember along with the traditional blue denim.
ReplyDeleteI loved school shopping when we did go. We kinda had to get the basic then maybe something special. With seven kids in the house, something were passed down and other were re-fashioned. Thank goodness my mother had a sewing machine, then we had something unique to wear in rotation.
DeleteNice story to introduce Shar and her dad. Oh the days of school shopping. I don't have any specific memories like Debbie, but I always looked forward to going back to school.
ReplyDeleteI loved hanging out with my mother the most and trying to make sure I had something cool to wear, which meant something practical in her eyes, lol.
DeleteSuch an interesting collection of dolls. At first, I had very strong feelings against action figure dolls. But over time as others have well incorporated them into their collections, I've gotten used to them because they add a touch of realism. Nice to see this character as an arm force's dad.
ReplyDeleteI was like that too in the beginning and then I was tired or looking at the same male dolls for ladies. I like the variety of their features the most and each is unique in their own right.
DeleteSo glad to meet both of you and I'm looking forward to following your stories. I absolutely love the Power Elite Team; I have several of them but none at the sweet price you paid.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I late in adding them to Dotsville and that only because they are rare here in Charlotte. I mostly see the smaller versions. I think I score best when I'm not looking for them.
DeleteIt's nice to see Cain taking his daughter out to shop. It's quality time with dad. I know they're glad to be in Dotsville.
