Fashion Dolls 101

Michael's (craft store) has the cutest new cardboard storage boxes in, and they are relatively sturdy and perfect for storing dolls and accessories. With several fashion themes to chose from, the boxes come in different sizes, and some even have handles. The two boxes I got were $12.99 for one which will easily hold two or more Gene dolls and $10.99 for a cute case to hold Barbie s. Because I made a small purchase at Michael's the day before Easter of St. Patrick's Day ribbon at 85% off, I had a 50% off coupon which meant I got both boxes for the price of one. Sometimes they have an extra coupon at the register - just ask! The Fashion Du Jour box ($10.99) has a handle, and the other box ($12.99) has two of my Gene dolls inside!
