Introducing...

I was blogging away - still in draft mode, and realised I was calling my girls by their names - clever that, their new names, and I realised I don't think I 've introduced them propertly. (Which will now explain why I call such and such a doll, so and so, etc etc, you know what I mean)

 

So to keep you in the dark no longer, I would like you all to meet:

(from left to right)

Llewellyn, Miriam, Josefina, Emily and Antoinette.

 

Llewellyn July Whitelake

her birthday is the 4th of July

she was Julie Albright Historical American girl from 1974

Her surname comes from the town she came from via Ebay, Whitelake

Her first and middle names just suited her

and she arrived here on the 4th of July, I prefered to use it over Julie's 1st of May.

So far Llewellyn really likes the Julie collection, and I will try to collect it for her. 

 

 

 

Miriam Cassandra Eastpointe

her birthday is the 30th of September

she was My American Girl number 30

Her surname comes from the town she came from via Ebay, Eastpointe

and her first and middle names just suited her (Cassandra may have been influenced by Mama Cass - the singer)

she arrived here on the 7th of July, but I chose to give her birthday as per above, based on this doll being released in September, it was 2008, but 30 - her number , and September just went well.

I found her amongst dolls called Jess - a Girl of the Year, who seemed really cool. I might try to get stuff for Miriam based on that character

 

 

Josefina Maria Montoya Nash

her birthday is the 19th of March

she was Josefina Montoya historical American Girl

and so far she just suits all that is Josefina, so I've kept most of her name the same and her birthday. I believe the pronunciation of her name should be Yosefina - but I prefer the J sound.

 I have started called her Jo though.

Josefina arrived on the 11th of August, from Nashville Tennessee - so Nash became her surname

 

 

Emily Eve Anderson

her birthday is the 20th of January

Emily is My American Girl number 21

this doll first debuted in 2001

she did come from Burlington (via Ebay), the name just didn't suit, and I found the other just rolling off one day and it stuck,

she arrived here on the 14th of August, but 20/01 just seemed a better fit for her birthday

I haven't quite worked her out yet, but is very cheeky and has asked for some shoes that don't mind getting mucky

 

 

Antoinette Marie Greencastle

her birthday is the 14th of August

Antoinette is the Historical American Girl Marie-Grace birthday March 3rd

she arrived here from Greencastle Pennsylvania on the 14th of August

she is definitely a little girl, loves fairy tales and princesses

(note for shopping list, she needs a petticoat)

 So there you are: 5 little girls all in a row, what adventure's next, you soon will know...
