What I got at the Doll Show, Part 3: Libby Littlechap

   For part three of 'What I Got at the Doll Show" we're looking at this Libby Littlechap doll. You may remember that I already have a Libby Littlechap.

 (See her HERE.) I was never really crazy about the Littlechaps, but what I do love is Libby's winter coat and boots, and the little school bag that came with them. 

Why? Because when I was in first grade, I had a very similar coat and schoolbag, and when I was younger than that, I wore red rubber snow boots. So I wanted Libby's coat set.

The main difference is that my coat was made of polyester, and had a hood. The hood was so stiff it didn't move with me when I turned my head, so when I tried to look out the window of the school bus, I was left looking at the inside of my hood!

Her belt looks to be dropping a bit.

  

The outfit also came with a little hat, red mittens, and of course, the school bag.

  I've been after the coat set, and Libby's school clothes,(I think it's called her 'blazer set'.(,  or red velvet dress, for her to wear under it, for a while now. 

But the ones I've seen were always  priced higher than I am willing to go. But at the show I found a Libby, wearing the blouse and skirt to the blazer set, the winter coat, and red boots. 

And she was only $15! I don't need the Libby, so she'll get a spa treatment and go, but I'm stealing her clothes. 

The blazer set also originally came with a blue blazer, blue knee socks, black loafers (shoes), and her school books. I actually have the school books. It took me ages to figure out whose books they were, because they are HUGE. I would never have thought they belonged to a doll this size!

I kind of feel guilty about that, but my Libby has better hair. Maybe after her spa treatment this Libby will be just as good, and I'll just keep her clothes and her. and get rid of old Libby. (Sorry kid.)

  So now all I need are the Blue blazer, blue knee socks, the loafers, the red mittens, the red hat, and the school bag. Okay. That sounds like a lot now that I have listed it all! But other than the school bag, I now have the most important parts. (To me anyway.) I need to replace one of the halves of the top snap on her coat, and it could do with a pressing or something, but I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

  Next time we'll see another doll show purchase. Oh boy. And Saturday is another doll show! It's the last doll show of my summer, if not the summer in general. The next doll show is in October, and then nothing else for me until Spring. Between that and how everything may shut down again soon, I am fitting doll shows in while I can. I am masking and sanitizing, so no fear. See you again soon!
