The Garage Sale Haul to End All
Hey guys! It was just garage sale weekend in my area. I've never found anything AG in a garage sale before, but this time, a family friend tipped me off about where I could find some AG stuff. Did I need it? No. But could I resist? Also no. I thought I'd do a haul for you guys today!
So, first thing I got was Julie's Groovy Bathroom! I never really thought I'd get this set, but I do remember that when it came out, I ogled over it for months. I should have mentioned that all these sets are in perfect condition, and I think the bathroom is only missing one piece!
I had to take the old pieces out of my doll bathroom, so I'm a little sad the bathtub doesn't fit anymore, but it's fine. It's something new, and I can change it again, if I feel like it! I'm excited to take pictures in this bathroom!
I was also totally not ever planning to get this, but I got the AG kitchen! It's the purple version, which I briefly considered at the benefit sale, and although I took my old doll kitchen down almost 2 years ago, I paid $25 for this set. Y'all. It's only missing 4 pieces. Everything in it still works.
I didn't even know that this set had anything cool about it? But the fridge lights up when you open the door? And it makes noises? And the ice maker dispenses plastic ice? And it's not even full plastic--- the base is mostly WOOD. I just. I'm sorry guys, this kitchen is over-hated. Me and my tiny working kitchen stand mixer will be over here, making a tiny cake while the rest of the AG community complains about the cabinets being purple.
The only thing I think wasn't done well was the backsplash, because it's some kind of sticker, and I really loved that backsplash when this set first came out! I digress. It actually even had enough space to store most of my doll kitchen stuff, which I'm overjoyed about. The fridge holds next to nothing, but there's enough space in the island that I condensed basically 4 gallon-sized bags of food and accessories into just 1.
Unfortunately, I had to give up my doll living room, but ultimately, it was time for a change. The dollhouse has been stressing me the heck out, and the living room was so neglected. I truthfully think I'll get more use out of the kitchen on the blog than I was getting out of the living room.
And finally, I got the AG pool! The way I wanted this set so badly when the original version first came out. I'm not taking a picture of it because it's awkward and my room is trashed, but hopefully I'll get some fun summer photoshoots out of it!
(Imagine the pool here.)
And that was my garage sale haul! I have some short photoshoots that need to get posted, so I may end up doing triple posts this week, just because they're not full photoshoots and if I don't post them now, y'all may never get to see them. Anyway, look out for those on Wednesday and Friday! Until then, have a great week and remember to eat your veggies! Bye! <3
OH MY GOODNESS WHAT AN INCREDIBLE HAUL!!! I always have this hope deep down that I'll find AG stuff when I go to garage sales, but alas, I've only found doll stuff of any sort just once LOLLL 'XD I will say I did get my doll Malorie at a yard sale though, she's not AG but she still holds a special place in my heart and is my favorite yard sale find to this day :)
ReplyDelete-Katie :)
Right?? It's been a dream of mine for ages, and there are a lot of families around me that have kids, so you'd think it wouldn't be impossible to find something!
DeleteSounds like that makes Malorie extra special! :)
So. Promise I'm not a stalker, but I've learned that your posts pop up at 10 PM my time, so I just casually got a bowl of ice cream and sat down to read. So happy for you!! I am so obsessed with my diner, so I hope you have as much fun doing kitchen shots with your gourmet kitchen as I do!! Also the bathroom is SO cute!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that makes you observant, not a stalker. I schedule my posts for 12 AM CT. But I love that for you, you're really making me sad I don't have any ice cream right now.
DeleteYour diner photos are always gorgeous! I think you've honestly inspired me, because I never had much of a desire for doll food/kitchen/baking photos until I saw yours! <3
The bathroom is such an eyesore, but I love it!
Woah, those are some really cool finds! And a triple post week? We're getting spoiled!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the fun posts you make with your new AG finds!
I mean, I had to make up for all the Mondays I didn't post. 😉
DeleteWowwww those are like holy grail sets! I remember longing for that kitchen, and being dazzled by the pool when it came out! That is so exciting and nice job on those finds!
ReplyDeleteRight?? I pined over that pool so hard. It was really exciting, thank you. :)
