We have another batch of mini blind bags today, and this is the “cup model” set which is always my favorite. At right around $2 for the 10 bags it is a wonderful and fun way to fill the dollhouse kitchen.
I ordered these on April 26th with an expected arrival between May 21st and June 27th. They arrived around May 20th so ahead of the expected dates. They cost right around $2. and were purchased on eBay.
If you want to know step by step how I look for the blind bags I have a blog post that contains the steps I usually use complete with screen shots of the steps involved. You can find that post here.
Now onto the goodies we got today.
1- stemmed glass, I normally get at least one of these in every set of these blind bags and I am so glad I do. I am building a nice collection to both display in the cabinets and also in various scenes I might want to stage.
2-blue
mug, I have gotten a few different colors of this mug in the
different sets and at first I felt they were a bit too big but I am
now thinking they are just fine. After all you can get larger real
life mugs in the stores and they are basically the equivalent of
these. I don’t remember getting a blue one before and this color
will be perfect in the
Beachside Bungalow.
3- pink “cut glass”, I know this is supposed to be a drinking glass but to me if looks like the perfect bud vase and I am sure that is how I will use it. Ir really reminds me of a bud vase my grandma had so many years ago.
4-clear mug, this one is a bit bigger that the blue one somewhere between a mug and a stein but I will be useful anyway.
5- huge glass, this one is huge and while there are sometimes glasses in real life this big I will probably use these for flower vases. We have collected several over all the blind bags we have opened.
6- another stemmed glass, this one is identical to #1 and to several I already have so the collection grows.
7- blue “cut glass” I am not sure if we have gotten the blue variety of these before but I know we have had the yellow/amber ones in past sets. I love the color of these for the Beachside Bungalow.
8- empty. Although disappointing to have an empty blind bag its not the end of the world at the price we are paying.
9-another blue “cut glass” just like #7 so we have at least a pair of them
10- embossed mug/stein, again the size is kind in the zone between a large mug and a small stein and I am pretty sure we have gotten the same before so they can be displayed as a set someday.
So
now for my thoughts, I am always actually hoping for duplicates when
I get the cup model blind bags since that will make them more useful
and I am collecting a good size collection of some of the pieces.
Most sets have at least one item we haven’t seen before and this
time it was the pink “cut glass” glass, I love it so much as a
bud vase and really hope more of those show up in future sets of
blind bags. It was disappointing to have an empty bag but things
happen and I will still be buying these many times in the future.
