The American Girl bug has bitten

I was never going to do it, well so I thought, due to the cost, and that I favoured another brand (or two), but I think I'm hooked.  3 little ladies came to stay this week...

I hope she's not standing on her head

an anonymous white box, who could it be?

Josefina !! isn't she gorgeous

Hello!!! or is it Hola?

 

I'm so happy to be here

um, its a little bit cold though

a blanket ahhh, thats better, hmm, this could make a Serape, hmm did I see some scissors around here?

Josefina is in perfect condition, her hair is still in its original do, the seller had only ever displayed. Welcome to a new phase in your life sweet one. I might keep her original first name, I really like the name. I believe the J is pronounced Y - but I prefer the harder J sound, Yo is just to up and down for me (yoyo joke there). I really like Josefina's dresses/skirts, and confession I started looking at her seriously when I found out she had a pet goat - it reminded me of my childhood. So otherthan maybe a turtleneck t-shirt she may be stuck in the past with her outfits anyway.

 

That was Monday

Happy Snap, Llewellyn (aka Julie), Josefina (new name pending or maybe to keep Josefina), and Miriam (#30)

the flash accentuates the beaver teeth

#21

whilst new in box, she has the charity sale X on her tooshie, so does not come with the Innerstar U codes. Not sure I would have used them anyway.

Whoop, there must have been a breeze in the box, a very Marilyn pose

Hello!!

Isn't she sweet - naughty cheeky thing. I wanted to get one classic mold doll, and after viewing the pics off the actual AG website, number 21 was always the one I came back to. Even after looking at the Girls of the Year and the Historicals.

depending on the light they look like 2 different dolls 

no just me (possibly Emily).

and

same day

 

 

someone in a boot box (hopefully not overcome by foot odour)

 

 

very pale mint shoes and I think it was a nightie

for..

 

Marie-Grace!

 

 

 

Isn't she pretty?

I think the hat is made of felt, and theres a very cute little fan, I so love little things that work

 

Marie-Grace (pending name change) is even wearing a little heart shaped locket that opens. Her hair is still in its original do, the ringlets haven't been messed with so they are behaving themselves. So nice, might give it a debox brush. 

 

 

Quick pic of her in her hat and balancing the fan hanging from her hand.

She's rugged up now in a big pink blanket.

I kind of think she'll be a big Disney princess/fairy tale fan - based on her ballgown and things, rather than following her intended story (I've got the Meet Marie-Grace book, still to read). Not sure if I'll get her collection yet (over time if I did,... a very long time), but I have seen some things on Ebay not necessarily genuine AG that I think would be great on her.

 

Thanks goes to the sellers who kept their dolls really nice, and thanks to my old doll and Barbie collection that is funding my new one.
