American Girls Dolls

These girls haven't been out to play for a while. A little friend of mine wanted to see them so I brought them out for her to look at. She's nine. I think Elizabeth was about seven when we got the first doll, Molly. Lizzy had just started wearing glasses and I thought she looked just like Molly. We were soon addicted to these beautiful dolls and their lovely clothes and accessories. I should probably introduce these girls. Left to right are Josephina, Molly, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, Felicity.


I told my little friend that the dolls have lots of their own clothes (here they are all wearing Samantha's pretty clothes) and they also have a Halloween wardrobe. When she asked what the costumes were, I drew a blank. I could remember the Hippie, the Cat and the 50's outfit. But I knew there were at least eight costumes. After she went home, I got the costume box out. Here they all are. Turns out there are nine.


I made the pumpkin, the black witch's dress and the gypsy costume - flowered skirt and pink shawl. I also made three felt poodle skirts. Can't remember why right now, but they are in the costume box. Getting the dolls out and looking at these costumes was fun for me. A little girl still lives inside of me.
