Teddy Bear Connection At Westroads Mall Has 18Inch Doll Clothes!!

Hello Doll Friends!!

Happy Saturday!! 

The other day Frann Doll and Heather Doll visited the Mall to see the Love Can Store, grab a snack and perhaps do a bit of people watching. Heather Doll also wanted to check out the Teddy Bear Connection  to see what cute t-shirts they might have. Much like Build-A-Bear it's a store that you go pick a plush friend to 'stuff' and then dress in outfits. Oftentimes those clothes will fit 18inch dolls if you modify them a little bit. 

As we approached the store Heather Doll noticed something very exciting... There were 18inch Doll in the window!!! Oh my goodness!!

At first we thought they were just capitalizing on the fact that bear clothes sometimes fit dolls... But on closer look, not at all, they were actual doll clothes! Also, look closely at the photo above. The blonde doll in the green Tinker Bell costume is Heather Doll's twin! Awesomeness!

It was like finding a hidden treasure! It's not a common thing to see a store front with 18inch dolls! I was so stoked! Heather Doll was so stoked!

Beautifully dressed 18inch Dolls were all over the store and it turns out that they sell dolls as well...!! How exciting!

They have a whole section of the cutest doll clothes and accessories!! They also happened to be 25% off right now too! Great news for most people but for me, oh the pain! I have already blown my entire Doll budget (plus a few dollars!!) and so buying anything at all wasn't something I could do. Ouch! However just knowing they are there is fun and can always go back next month when I get a re-fill on my Doll Allowance. Right?

So. Many. Cute. Things! Just look at that swimsuit! 

Oh my goodness, they have cow print tall boots. I want!!

I am pretty sure the first thing I'll be back for is that Harry Potter costume! It's got a velcro adhered 'house emblem' and so you can make it for any house in Howarts you want your doll to be in! How cool is that! They also had a Princess Leia costume and so many others as you can see... Heather Doll just walked around in awe of the vast selection of items just her size! 

It was so much fun to see the Fashionista dolls! I don't have one.... Yet...!

Look at the ginormous bear stuffing machine!! So much fluff!

This doll sweet face just made me smile... I meant to ask the brand of doll and then forgot. Isn't she pretty!? Love the cap and gown!

As you can see, they even have dolls on the counter behind the register. So totally cool.

**So after going around and admiring everything I finally decided to take some photos of Heather Doll in the store. I was sort of silly... I had Frann Doll with me too but at first I was just thinking "Oh, I will just take a photo or two since I just spent so much time taking photos at the Love Can Store" because my friend Beth was with me and I didn't want to make her wait again. However she and the sweet employee at the store encouraged me to go for it! So then I thought I'd just take a few and just of Heather Doll because the more dolls you have in a scene the longer it takes because you have to get them both to stand up and pose etc.

But the more I saw the more I wanted to photograph...

Just look at all those cute dresses!

Check out the bear stuffing machine that is more Doll Sized!

Heather Doll was having so much fun that she finally insisted I take Frann Doll out and let her look around too!

Here they are by what I think might be the biggest teddy bear in the entire world! Look how huge he is!!

So stay tuned in the future when I go back next month to buy a thing or two from this fabulous store! They are super friendly and so you should stop in sometime soon too and get a treat for your Dolly!!

Better run!

Till Next Time!

Birthday Slumber Party At The Doll House!!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!!

Since it was Heather Doll's Birthday and a huge windfall of Birthday clothes had recently arrived at the doll house, including PJs, the dolls decided a Birthday Slumber Party was in order...

Here are Heather Doll, Jen Doll, Myfanwy Doll, Patricia Doll and Susannah Doll at the party eating cake... Heather is about to open a gift from Josh Doll. He obviously couldn't come to the party because it's a slumber party of girls! 

"Hmmm... What is this? Such pretty colors..."

"How cute!! Thanks Josh Doll!!"

"How does it look?"

Heather Doll knew not everyone liked the same sort of cake and so she served a variety of cup cakes for the party... They were a big hit!

As you may have noticed, Frann Doll hadn't been able to make it to the party because of other plans that had come up.... But then her plans changed again to later in the evening and she was able to drop by the party!! She even changed into PJs so she'd match the other girls even though she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep over this time. 

Heather Doll was so glad to see her!! "I'm so glad you're here!!" 

I gotta give you as squeeze!!

Doll Best Friends Forever!! 💓

So the girls had some cake and a great chat but then sadly it was time for Frann to go so she could make it to her other engagement. They all promised to have another slumber party soon so she could sleep over then!

The rest of the girls made their way to the bedroom for more slumber party fun... Here are Myfanwy and Jen discussing makeup and haircare.

Patricia and Susannah decided to play a game... Board games are the best!

I wonder who will win?

The party lasted late into the night as the girls all chatted and told ghost stories!

Heather Doll is pretty sure it's the best Birthday Party she's ever had!  What is your favorite way to celebrate your birthday?

That's it for now doll friends!

Till next time!

My Life As Doll Bathroom Set In The Doll House!

Doll Friends!!

I found one!! I found one!! I found the new My Life As Doll Bathroom Set from Walmart!!!

It's fantastic!!! Really, they did a great job on this. I've long looked Julie's Bathroom from American Girl Doll and pined over having one myself... But really if I am spending $195 on a bathroom it's going to be the one I actually take showers in myself. Haha. I even 'made' a bathroom for my own doll house that's gone through many 'updates' over the years. However I always wanted a 'shower' in my doll bathroom because, let's get real, more people take showers than take baths so... Or at least in my house/world.  

So My Life As Doll releasing one for $39.99...? Well, even if I already had a bathroom in the Doll House, that had to happen. It was the thing I was most excited about of all the things I've seen My Life As Doll come out with this year and I am so stoked to have found it. I suspect it'll be a 'hot toy' and harder and harder to find as we go towards Christmas. Perhaps I'll be wrong and they'll, for once, have enough made to meet demand. I'll hope so!!

Here is Heather Doll reading the back of the box. 

Here is the back of the box so you can see the whole thing. 

Here is the UPC. I have found that some people want the UPC in order to locate the items in the store...? I am not internet savvy enough to know how to do this but in case you are, here you go. 

Here is the front of the box. 

Here are the accessories it comes with; a cute toothbrush, tube of toothpaste, a cup, conditioner and shampoo! All the essential items for your doll to get ready for the day!

The toilet really 'flushes'. If you want to see it in action, there is a great YouTube video of it by Chloe's Playroom! 

The lights work as well! So fun!

It was pretty easy to get out of the box especially compared to some set's I've unboxed before. Just a few zip ties to cut....

There is one here too... and the toilet is held in place by:

a zip tie and...

This little dohickey. I imagine they had to 'bolt' it in so it wouldn't shift around or fall out of package. But just know it's there so your little one doesn't get frustrated when the "toilet won't come out of the shower!!"

There are clear bands at both the tie and the...

curtain rings to keep it from moving around. 

This was weird... The bands were 'stuck' in the wall... Not sure if it just mine or not and naturally I cut them off as close to the wall as I could but... Like I say, weird.

The cabinet is taped shut so it won't open in packaging and get damaged or broken. 

Same with the toilet. The tape comes off very easily though and leaves no sticky residue. 

So here it is, all set up!

As I was taking photos of Heather Doll in the mirror I giggled in mirth because the mirror, being a 'toy' mirror and not actual glass (because: toy!) the effect is a bit like the fun house mirrors in the carnivals I went to as a child. It distorts your image just a bit... So... Naturally I took like five photos to show you what I mean and giggle with me. Heather Doll won't mind you laughing at her, she laughed too. ;) 

Ok... I'll stop. Heeheehee...

Heather Doll is going to brush her teeth in the cute sink!

Good oral hygiene is so important! Teeth, you only get two sets! Take care of them! Eh?

The toothbrush is cool in that it has a handle that lets the doll hold it. Neat!

When she was done, Heather put the items in the little cupboard. She likes her bathroom to be tidy after all. 

She wanted to show you the shower so don't mind her being in there with her clothes on!

The shower curtain closes well and covers everything. Yes, Heather Doll is in there. 

The toilet is cute... Like the review by Chloe's Playroom said, you can't really get the dolls to sit on the toilet like they would if there were actually, well, you know, using the toilet. But I don't think too many doll photos will be taken of my dolls sitting on the loo so for me it's not that big a deal. 

I love that the toilet seat actually goes up and down. Awesomeness! Not just the lid to the toilet but the seat as well! 

Heather Doll says "Don't forget to put the seat down!" 

So... I think this is a great set especially for the price... Snap one up for your dollies and I am sure they'll love it!

Better run!
