Exploring a used book store and visiting my storage unit

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month, I went to a local used book store. I also went to my storage unit. I dont know if I’ve ever talked about my storage unit on my blog before, but I’m proud of it, and I’m excited to tell you about it, so let’s get to it!

Used book store 2/18/25 – 2/19/25

I found out that there was a used book store by our local library. I also found out that the prices were all around 1 or 2 dollars. I first went on the 18th. I was so excited when I saw all the American Girl books that they had, including some from when I was a kid ! They were only a dollar each ! I also got a Breyer horse book. I did have to go to work, so I didn’t get to look around as much as I would have liked to, so I went back the next day, and I got a few more books! I’m excited to continue visiting this book store !

My storage unit – 2/17/25

On this day, I went to visit my storage unit because I had some more items I wanted to put in it. I was excited to go there and see my large teddy bear again. It was actually a bucket list item to get her, but since she is a large bear, it was better for her to live in my storage unit than my messy room ! If I ever get my own place, hopefully I will have enough room for all my collections, but for now, I’m proud that I’ve collected so many items that they have to have there own place. I don’t seem to achieve the same milestones that others do, and that’s not on purpose. However, it is what it is, so. I’m going to take my wins where I can get them. I’m happy to say that I’m an expert at collecting, and I’m also a proud maximalist! Having a storage unit was not on my bucket list, but having one makes me feel like I crossed off a bucket list item!

A Barbie Easter basket,Dollar Tree, and Savers!

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m a very happy collector at the moment. In the past few days I’ve managed to add some really great things to my collection. On Thursday I was at the grocery store and I just had to have this Barbie themed Easter basket. I love the puzzle that it comes with. On Friday IĀ  went to the Dollar Tree after work. I got two packages of squishy toys, a container of play-doh that has two colors inside, model magic, canvas and bunny shaped containers. I loved seeing all the Easter items that they had this year. I’m also happy that they are still selling the Jelly Belly sparkling waters. I got one of each flavor. Yesterday, I went to Savers. We went earlier in the day so it was neat and organized. I’m not used to seeing it like that! I was very happy with the items I was able to add to my collection. Some of my favorite finds I got were a Barbie color reveal doll, a Barbie doll book, a TY Beanie Baby bear,two packages of Lisa Frank Easter bubbles, full house books, a Disney mug, and a package of Lisa Frank pencils! I also got this American Girl activity box that comes with lots of cards that have crafts, quizzes and more fun ideas printed on them. I was happy to see that they had more dolls this time. There was not a lot of dolls but there were more then there has been. I hope to find more great items the next time I visit Savers.

My collections!! :)

Hello, my bucket list friends! I know I’ve talked a lot about my collections on this blog. I have been asked to show you some pictures of my collections so here we go! My room is very disorganized however I putĀ  some of my favorite items on my bed to photograph them. First off I’ll start with my Barbie collection.

Barbie – I had a lot of Barbie dolls as a kid that I wish I would have kept. However I’m pretty sure I have more Barbie dolls now then I did then. Below areĀ  pictures of some of my dolls. This isn’t my whole collection but it’s a lot of it.

Beanie babies – This also something I had as a kid. I don’t know if I had more then I do now or not. However I do remember how excited I got when I realized I had 100 beanie babies Anyways here are some of my beautiful TY Beanie babies.

American Girl dolls – I have five American Girl dolls. Two of them were ordered from the American Girl website the others cane from Ebay. I hope to continue expanding this collection.

Thank you so much for reading!
