Treasures For Dollars is a new mini-series that does belong in the Blythe On A Budget article series but is completely focused on things that I actually find (and buy) from dollar stores and other similar stores. It will alternate with Blythe On A Budget articles for the next little while until the finale of the mini-series (at Part 10). I hope you enjoy the series!

I’m a sucker for all things cute – which is probably why I have a half-dozen Blythes! I like small things, but haven’t managed to get sucked into buying re-ment by the crate (yet). I’m always on the look-out for small cute things that are in the right scale for Blythe as I don’t collect other dolls. One of my favourite recent finds was actually purchased back in August when I went to a local dolly meet.

We met up in the food court of a mall to hang out – we all shopped at the mall, bought mildly overpriced food at the mall and just hung around and had a great time. There’s a store in the mall (Daiso) which is a lot like a dollar store, but most everything in the store is priced at $2 with some exceptions (food is priced below or above $2, some larger items are priced higher/accordingly). And I picked up this little gem there…

Isn’t it cute? I’m really glad that I got it back in August, I went to the store again just on Monday and they did not have it in stock anymore – they did have the same item but in silver instead of black. It’s super cute and a little bit large for Blythe’s hands, but I really just wanted it as a charm for one of my doll’s pullstrings and it’s a good scale in comparison to the size of their rather large heads (ego??). The nice thing is that it already comes on a string so I can easily connect it to my doll’s existing pull string or use the string for another project.

What’s a good inexpensive dolly-find you discovered recently?
