Rescue Doll: Kelly with White Tika Elephant from the Barbie the Island Princess Movie

Kelly Doll with White Tika Elephant from the Barbie the Island Princess Movie


I used to identify "doll rescues" with dolls that are purchased second hand from thrift shops and online stores.

Now I realized that the term is also applicable to old stocks but weren't really played with.

Barbie and the Island Princess was released in 2007. As for this Kelly Doll, she's gone through rough times, I can say. I am pretty sure she's been transferred numerous times to different stores, then sale kiosks, then placed in storage and got forgotten until the stockperson did a cleanup and finally found them.

Priced at P200 (appox $4), this is already a steal since she comes with Tika the elephant. She came with an extremenly dented box and Tika being dirty and stained.

So here's where the rescue came in. I tooked them out of the box. I used a wet tissue used to clean the house, as regular tissues won't be able to take off the stains.

I am glad that they are already part of my collection. I am also happy with the outcome of the cleaning session.

Below are photos of the process:






Used a household wet tissue which was effective in cleaning Tika. The flash from the camera made the tissue seem clean but in reality, 

Kelly and White Tika all happy with their makeover!

Dolly Deliveries!!!

Yay! I'm quite flooded with messages that my orders are being delivered. I thought I have timed them properly so it would not cause confusion as some are CODs. However, the ones coming from overseas arrived earlier than expected and gets delivered together with my local online purchases. I'm overwhelmed!

On the other hand, this makes me extremely excited as these parcels are all dolls.

I am out of town as of this writing and I can't wait to get home! I love opening packages.

Just to give a sneak peek, here are what I am expecting (please note that these are all sellers' photos):
