Barbie Mini Tries to Find.a Date

Image
  It’s hard being small. Barbie mini has discovered it is difficult to find a man her size to go out with. It doesn’t help that so far they haven’t made a Ken mini. She finally found two candidates but isn’t sure if either is dressed appropriately to go home for the big neighborhood bar-b-cue or to go meet the family at church.  She ran into both of them at the park and they both immediately started fighting over her. Apparently Harry and Clark have found it equally difficult to meet tiny women.  Dark Barbie is waiting in the wings by the fountain. She said she would be happy to take whichever hero Barbie doesn’t pick. I think it’s a happy ending in the making   Find all the minis at Dollar Tree. Which hero do you prefer for Mini Barbie?

Patriotic Gnomes at Walgreens

Image
 I almost missed these little cuties, but Walgreens has a selection of 4th of July gnomes, and they have just gone on sale! Regularly $5, they are now on sale for $3.79.  Smaller than the gnomes available at Michael’s and Dollar Tree, these cute little fellows look adorable mixed in with the bigger Summer Gnomes gnomes.  There were only four gnomes left at my local Walgreens and I left with one of them. Grab yours before they are gone.  Related: Michael’s: 4th of July & Pumpkins!  Patriotic Gnomes Celebrate July 4 with Groovy Girls Vanessa   Summer Gnomes Barbie Minis Prepare for the Semiquincentennial Looking Ahead to America’s 250th Birthday 4th of July 2025: Events, Articles, Poems & More

Michael’s: 4th of July & Pumpkins!

Image
~ Because nothing says 4th of July like pumpkins!! ~ I commented recently on Michael’s May ad for the Lemax Halloween Village a few weeks ago, but nothing prepared me for a recent visit to the store where pumpkins sat next to 4th of July merchandise!  Maybe that mischievous patriotic gnome had something to do with it! Or maybe it’s because some of the pumpkins are white… for red, white and blue! In any case, the summer stuff and July 4 decorations are moving on out while pumpkins and fall have moved in at Michael’s.  Related: Michael’s May Halloween Ad Summer Gnomes

Mini BarbieLand Figures at Walmart

Image
 Build your Barbie world with adorable mini Barbie Land figures!  These cute little packages contain a doll and accessories including a miniature vehicle.   I got the red headed mini in the pink swimsuit and sarong that comes with a pink convertible, palm tree and wave, and a pink surf board. So cute!  These minis are substantially smaller than the ones I got at Dollar Tree.  At $5.88, they are also more expensive, probably because of the accessories. I think one of this series will be enough for me… unless they get marked down! Then all beta are off!
