After reading Limbe Doll's
Kid Stuff post, I ventured out to a couple of Dollar Tree stores this past weekend in search of
teen-sized fairies. I only needed one fairy to redress in the Bratz school girl fashion I purchased several months ago.
Fairies were in stock at the first store but none were dark skinned. There were, however, several dark skinned fairies at the second Dollar Tree. I examined several boxes before choosing what I thought was the best of the ones examined.
After the purchase, I returned to my car and deboxed and disrobed the fairy. I placed her box, dress, wings, wand, shoes, comb, and purse in the Dollar Tree shopping bag with plans to discard this immediately upon returning home. I did not want the shoes because one shoe would not stay on the doll's deformed left foot.
On the drive home I decided how I would remedy her foot and shoeless issue.

| Dollar Tree fairy has a slender body and extremities; one leg is little longer than the other, but for a dollar she's still cute and useful. |
 |
| The great toe area of the left foot appears "swollen." Plastic protrudes from the inner seam of the other leg. |
|
|
 |
| I used scissors to cut off the feet at the ankles. The fairy's legs now fit perfectly inside the shoes that came with the Bratz school dress. | | |

| De-fairied and dressed, she has become an eager-to-learn school girl. |
