WERID DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 335

Low rent Ariel. BFF gave me this Dollar Tree Ariel knock off. She has a pet fish and a hair brush.
Her tail moves and so does her waist. But she has some sad assed arms and hands. Looks a tad drugged, too.

I LIVE IN A JUNGLE, HERE'S PROOF                                                                                                                                                             
 I rescued this half dead house plant from the side of the road about 10 years ago.
 Now it's taken over.
This bottlebrush tree was brought home across the back seat of the car. Cost $15.

SPRING BREAK SPRING BREAK SPRING BREAK                                                                                                                               Working at a university I can take off Spring Break week if I want, so I did. Went to visit a couple of friends who live in The Carolinas, one North and one South. My BFF live in South, we stayed with her and what do me and my friends do? Go thrifting, of course.                                                                                  
          
 Never seen these Fiesta ware plates before, so I had to add them to my dish collection. It would have been rude to leave them there. Seeing as the peacock is my spirit animal, had to get the purse, too. Hey the booth was having a 50% off sale!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 I got a senior discount at Tender Hearts. Yes, senior discount at a thrift store. Both books were 99cents.  Without the discount, $3                                                                                                                                                        
 2 vintage shirt and a purple, not blue cardigan for $5. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the color right on the sweater.
Why did this German grocery store open a branch in Rock Hill South Carliona? The sock were gifts and so were the Jaggermiester shot glasses. The magic wand of bubbles was $1 at a craft store. My other friend is in grad school in North. We had a nice lunch at the Asian/vegan restaurant, then got a tour of the new costume building. A movie theater was turned into the costume zone. Lots of work room and storage space, but I'm not sure if a maze of rooms is a good idea. To many places for students to hide on in .

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 333                                                                                                                                                  The season 8 Game of Thrones trailer premiered yesterday (yeah, I watched it 4 times). 40 days, just like Lent, until the premier.                                                                                                                                                                                                           Here's one of the most mysterious characters from the books/show. This is Leaf. Leaf is one of the Children of the Forest. They are one of the original people of Westros. Although calling them "people" isn't right, as they are more like Elves or Fairies.  They have magic. I won't go into the whole history, I'll just say that they are very important to the whole story line.                                                                                                                    
 This is a show photo of the actor that plays Leaf on the show. The costumes are amazing.                                                                                                                                                  
The costumes were designed by Michele Chapman and the embroidery/embellishment was done by Michele Carragher.
