Dreaming of Dolls

Erin is modelling a new hat!

I was thrilled to find a bag of AG hats at the thrift store. Sadly, I did not find any outfits that went with the hats. But it was a great find!

So Erin got to wear this hat. A friend identified it for me as being from the Glitter Jeans Outfit in 2003.

It's made of this fabric that feels like suede. I miss when American Girl used nice fabrics like that. Sigh.

Lanie was at the thrift store a week ago, and my mom gave me a "don't even think about it " look.

I went again this Saturday. She was still there, so I bought her just because I was mad at Mom.

I bet no one's ever bought a revenge doll before, have you?

My therapist thinks this is very funny...

This is a "before" picture. You can see the price tag is still on her leg. I have since brushed her hair and she looks much better now.

I took three dolls to the lake to get some pictures this weekend.

First up is American Girl Girl of the Year 2020.

Joss is happy to be at the lake, even if she couldn't go surfing.

Next is Ruby Red Fashion Friends Stella. She looks cute as always.

Then there is Ruby Red Create Your Dream Doll Jeanette. I just got her, as the dolls are on sale this month.

I love Jeannette's face. She has less pose-ability than other Ruby Red Fashion Friends, but that is reflected in the lower price point.

Her skin tone is a little odd. She looks very grey when she is next to other Ruby Red dolls.

It doesn't look that bad when she is on her own.

She is a little grey-ish here.

She looks fine in this picture!

Her clothes are all printed on cheap fabric, but again, I expected that from the low price point.

Yep, here are some more pictures of Maya!

This one is my favorite- so sweet!

Here are some Erin appreciation pictures!

Her hair looks more brown than red here, but it's still Erin! No doll swapsies involved.

I got the blonde Little Bitty Baby.

I feel that her head is a slightly different shape from the others that I have. It is rounder. And her eye placement feels different to me.

I kinda like the face of the brown eyed baby better, but they are SO SIMILAR, this makes me feel crazy.

Here's a picture with Erin in the garden as well.

Maya's getting more pictures! Luckily, it was a cloudy day, so it was perfect for doll pictures.

She had to take her coat off as it was too hot outside. I did not realize that she has long sleeves on under her coat.

As I keep saying, I love long sleeves on doll clothes.
