Happy Birthday Felicity!

Today is Felicity's birthday!  Happy birthday Felicity!  Felicity was my fourth doll that I added to my collection.  She and I share a birthday, and we look a lot alike!  I remember reading her birthday story for the first time when I was ten, and I was so excited to learn we have the same birthday.  What's your favorite thing about Felicity and her books? I like the story about her going to the Christmas ball! My favorite outfit of hers is her red gala gown.

Announcement - American Girl Nashville Opens May 30th

Big news everyone!!! Ameircan Girl Nashville's grand opening is May 30th and 31st...and I will be going the first day it opens!!! I'm so excited.  I will be purchasing Grace Thomas while I am there, including a visit to the doll hair salon to get earrings.  It's still a couple of months away, but stayed tuned for lots of pictures and updates when I go.  I might bring Samantha along too, but I'm not quite sure.  I haven't been to Nashville in a few years, so I'm really hyped about going! 

 

 

NEWS Isabelle Items Back in Stock On the Sale Page

A few of the lingering Isabelle items have been marked as in stock on the sale page after American Girl's website reboot.  I have tested this by adding each item to cart and its working!!! A couple of items, such as her warm-up top, are out of stock again, and probably for the last time. Hurry and buy any you want for a GREAT price before they are "gone forever" (in quotes because they might magically appear at the Cyber Monday sale lol)  Items include Isabelle's accessories, dance case, pajamas, makeup case, and a few girl sized clothing items.

 

Also if you want Rebecca's sideboard, its on sale for $60.  Its been on sale awhile, so it may sell out really soon!

One thing I don't like about the new AG website, is that you can easily overlook the small print "no longer available" as opposed to the SOLD OUT we used to get. 

In addition to the website reboot, we have lost all original links to the pages, including items that have sold out recently (Julie's swimsuit, Marie-Grace and Cecile, pre-Beforever items, etc.)  If you come across a link to American Girl's website that doesn't work, don't worry.  I will be fixing that as soon as possible. Thank you Rhonda (for the heads up

Good news is, the mobile version of the site is back in business for phones! It works so much better.

Let me know in the comments below if you bought any of the sale items, and if you like American Girl's newly improved website!

Felcity's Fashion Friday

 "Good morning everyone! It's Friday, which means its time for more fashion picks!"

Last week, Julie showed off her new swimsuit ensemble - 60% of you voted yes for this outfit.  "Phew!  I was hoping most people would like it!" said Julie.

 "Please excuse my mess.  I was finishing my tea lesson!" said Felicity.

 "Oh, look who's here!  It's Kit Kittredge, our guest today."

 "Hi guys!  Im really excited to show everyone the outfit Felicity designed."

"This outfit would be perfect for a 1950s girl!"

The bow is from Samantha's original Christmas dress.

The blouse is from Julie's Christmas outfit, which just recently retired.

The skirt is from Samantha's bathing suit.

And the shoes, of course, are from Kit's original meet outfit.

I hope everyone enjoyed this Fashion Friday post!  Don't forget to vote for the outfit in the poll to your right!

There isn't an about the outfit this week, since the outfit is from several clothing pieces.  There will be one next week!

New Layout!

New layout for springtime!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful spring so far.  Easter is coming up fast!

Target Doll Hunt

Yesterday I went to Target to check out what Our Generation things they had.  Everything is currently 30% at Target from OG, so head on over to your local Target or order online!  Free shipping with $25+

I found this new cowgirl outfit while I was there.

 They also have some cute romper sets.  This is my favorite new one, and I think it will look lovely on Grace.

 What I really love about the OG line is their cute new shoes!  They retail for $6.99 each, and are such great quality.  Some surpass American Girl by how well they are made.  Each one is so unique!

I especially love the two tone boots and the flats.  'Im glad they sell these because not all outfit sets come with material shoes.  A lot of them are plastic, and this gives me an opportunity to make a fancier outfit ensemble.  

These are the accessories sets they had.  Nothing new here, but they are still cute.

I didn't find the laundry set I wanted, so I may check another Target later this week.   

However, I DID find something awesome in the Target dollar section!

FOOD ERASERS!  I've been looking for these all around town, and finally I found some!  I wanted to buy these for Grace, since they are mostly French pastries. They only had two left, but hopefully the other Target will have more.  I'd like to have several of each if possible.

These are perfect for Grace's bakery

This is Samantha holding different ones in her hand.

French pie.

Samantha can hold the donut with her finger!

She can hold the fruits really well.

And here she is with a popsicle.

 The cutest eraser out of the set is the ice cream cone, which fits perfectly in her hand.

Samantha and her friends are going on a picnic today!  She is going to pack all the new food I bought.

I would recommend checking you local Target for these erasers.  You won't want to miss out!!!
