Introducing Periwinkle! American Girl 91 Joins The Doll House!

 

Hi Doll Friends!

I hadn't expected to buy a new American Girl Doll...

Then, on one of my many Doll Groups on Facebook, someone mentioned that American Girl 91 Girly Graffiti, was on sale. Not just on sale but on a really great sale. Like half off the regular price! How, I ask you, could I pass that up? I think it's great that she is called #91 because 1991 is the year I graduated from High School! I love that she has purple hair because that is my daughter's favorite color. So I ordered her and excitedly waited for her to arrive. In just a couple of days, she was at my house. I love Amazon, how did we ever shop online before them? Haha. 

As you can imagine, I love, love, love her. I've decided to call her Periwinkle because that is a very pretty purple flower. I love flower names because both mine (Heather) and my daughter's (Lilly) names are. Below are the photos of her in her box... Then I naturally had to take her out for a few photos. I took Prism out to take photos with her because she was one of my very first American Girl Dolls and certainly my first with rainbow-colored hair! They made fast friends!

So, I am so happy I got her and at such a fantastic price! 

Gotta run! 

Have a great weekend Doll Friends!

Recent Antique Mall Doll Sightings!

 

Hi Doll Friends!

I started this draft over a month ago but just haven't gotten back to finish it until now. We went to a local 'antique mall' and I wanted to show you the dolls and doll-related items I saw there. These first three photos are of porcelain dolls, not normally my thing, but they were too pretty not to snap a photo of. 

Then I found an entire doll room! It was so much fun to look at. Mostly there were 'reborn' baby dolls. Again, not my thing but I can admire the artistry involved in creating them. 

A couple more porcelain dolls I saw and thought were pretty. 

This was fun to see, a Daisy Kingdom doll. I had one once in my collection once upon a time but she got re-homed in a doll purge at some point or other. 

This doll couch was very tempting but ultimately I left it there for another lucky doll collector to find. 

Not dolls but I loved this rabbit and bear (above).

I love love loved this Pac-Man arcade game! If I had endless money and space I'd have certainly brought that home!

Then there was another booth that had mostly dolls... I'd never seen the Hello Kitty Doll before, so cute!

A pretty Belle Disney ily Doll. I've resisted the urge to buy one of these several times. I love them but I just have so many dolls already!

Love Kit!

Then I saw Kaya and was so tempted to get her because I don't have one but... I resisted. I have so many dolls and they just sit and collect dust nowadays so I left her for someone else to find. 

Loved seeing the cute jeans on this one (above). My daughter got that pair of jeans for her 18-inch dolls back when she played with them so it was fun to see. I still own them... Not sure which doll they are on right now or if they are in the 'pants bin' but I love them. 

That's it for now... Gotta run!
