Our Generation Aisha On Sale At Target... How Could I Not?

 

Doll Friends!

I am weak!! I'll admit it!

I went into Target to grab, you know, like laundry soap and toothpaste...

However I went by the Our Generation area of the Toy Department...
You know... Just to research... 
*winks*

However, then I saw that Our Generation Aisha was on sale for $21.00...

What?!

She'd been on my with list for a while now... 

So...

Well I think you can guess what happened. 

Teehee.

Before I knew what I was doing, she was in my shopping buggy and I was buying a smaller size laundry soap to off set the cost.

Teehee.

I can always buy more SOAP some other time. 
Right?

I was so excited to get her that I took her out of the box before I even thought to take her photos. 

But you know what Our Generation Dolls look like in their boxes afterall so, I suppose you'll probably forgive me. 

I think she is so totally adorable!

Her meet outfit is fabulous as well...
Especially the tights with the cat faces on them!! 

She comes with a bunch of stickers to use as 'tatoos' but I am 99% certain they won't be attached to my Aisha. Just not something I am interested in doing. 

The little glow in the dark hair extenstions are kind of cute though.

I'm sure they will make their way into her hair and other dolls hair at some point. 

Here she is after her hair was taken out of the pony tails she comes in.

She has this cute little pink stripe in her hair in the back.

Isn't she fantastic?

So I am so glad to have gotten her! 

Better run!

Our Generation Deluxe Farmers Market Set

Hi Doll Friends!!

As you may know if you read this blog regularly, the last six months of 2019 were, well, no fun at all for the most part. I guess there are just years like that and I'll hope that was the worst of mine going foward. However, during that time, I had a birthday (in November)...And with some birthday money I got, I bought this adorable Our Generation Deluxe Farmers Market Set. I sort of bought it and then let it sit, in it's box, for when I felt I'd actually get enjoyment from opening it. I finally got it unboxed this last weekend and had some of my newer Our Generation dolls model with it to show you how adorable it is. By the way, about the doll models above, they've yet to be named... I am leaning towards Sookie for the one on the right who is named Ivory from Our Generation. Sookie after Sookie Stackhouse from the book series and show. I loved the books more than the show but I loved Sookie in any case and have wanted to find a doppelganger doll for her. I think I decided as I am typing this that is going to be her name. Heehee.

 Also, when I posted this photo on Instagram, more than one person asked me about the outfit that Sookie is wearing. I am planning a blog post about that soon (got the photos taken, just need to get it done) but... The outfit is a 'one of a kind' outfit I bought from a local lady in my town. I'll try to remember to come back to this post to give you a linky to that story but if you're reading this six months from now and it's not there, I am sure that post will be of the next few. 

I really think Our Generation has stepped up their game in the last few years and their accessories are absolutely on par with American Girl Doll, which is so often considered the industry standard in this doll size. The lovely thing about Our Generation is that you don't have to mortgage your house to buy them. Teehee... Or maybe that's just me and my own doll hoard collection. 

I think this set is going to be perfect for Charlsea's Farmer's Market's  in the future. I love the tomatoes and peppers! They all are singles and come out of the boxes they are in. I think the bundled carrots and turnips are adorable too! I love that it came with a blueberry pie because I can use that in other scenes as well. Oh, what can I say, I love the whole set! The apples don't come out of the basket but I am good with that because that would be a mess and I have lots of 'single' apples anyway. So, I'll look forward to incorporating this set into my Farmer's Market Youtube Video and to use the veggies and pie in other scenes as well. Great set! 

Well done Our Generation!

Better run!

My Life As Doll Brand Desk & Chair Set and Wheelchair Find At Goodwill!

Ya'll!

How can I not? 

Nevermind I am going to need a bigger house...

and probably end up on the doll-sized hoarding show...

But when you can get all this ^^^ for like $13.00, how can you not buy it? Right?

I've actually wanted but refrained from buying the My Life As Doll desk... I just knew I'd eventually find one second hand and I finally did. I found the little chair that goes with it on a totally different shelf in a totally different aisle of the store but was so stoked to find it! The other accessories that come with the set when it's new are things I have quite a few of so...

 Awesomeness!

The little babies are the newer kind they sell at Target I think...? They are the same size as my other baby sibling dolls and I've looked at them new and also refrained from buying them. I have so many baby sibling dolls by now and I still not sure what I think of their painted on faces? But for 59c each I couldn't help but just grab them and bring them home. 

I also found this baby sibling car seat... I need to make some manner of  padded insert I think but for $1.25, I had to get it. 

I made a little 'progressive photography' story of my newest Starpath Doll showing you the new items...

Here she is checking out all the cabinets and drawers.

Demonstrating how the wheelchair breaks down so you can fit it the trunk of your car. :)

Then I had Dallas and Layla come by to help her clean them up...

Then of course I had to set up a scene with the new furniture items!

I did leave some doll items at the store, hard though it may have been... 

Only so much space...

I really really wanted this swing... The price was ok, like $8.00! But it was ginormous... As I see it now I am kicking myself... Who cares!! It's so cool! 

Maybe it'll be there next time but... I doubt it. 

*sigh*

A cute doll sized dresser... I have so many...! But am always tempted to buy more when I see them anyway. Haha.

This cute doll bench was probably scaled a bit too large for 18inch dolls but would be a cute place to store them I think. 

Another dresser cabinet... 

Had I not found the other doll items that day, this little bench probably would've come home with me. I have three chairs much like it and am actually annoyed at myself for talking myself into taking it out of the shopping buggy. Oh well... You can't have all the doll furniture, right?

This little My Life As Doll couch might've come home with me too should I not have found the other items... My husband was with me, waiting out in his truck making a phone call while I shopped or I might've. As it was I already carried a pretty sizable bag to the truck. 

It unfolds into a little bed! So cute!

I won't lie, this little beauty went in my cart for a few minutes. Her dress is adorable! Not really the style I've been dressing my dolls in for the last few years though. (I have started dressing my dolls mostly like, well, ME. Hahaha! Or the person they are styled after in real life... I digress) She is a Robins Woods Doll and I actually used to have one like her. I purged all my 'non-American Girl type' dolls a while ago because of space issues and so it would've been silly to buy her.

 But she's cute!

These little tea pots were cute too but...

Nope. 

I better run!
