Doing a Trunk or Treat on Friday where I'm doing an American Girl Club and I just carved my pumpkin! Well, my mom did most of the work, she's good with the carving.

Fallout doll update!

Amelia's undercover Milk Maiden outfit with her favorite companion, Red Vines!

I still have to sand and paint all those pieces I posted earlier, but, when these two commissions came in (the outfit and the brahmin), I had to share this as well.

Outfit is designed by me and made by lovefromlola on Etsy. It includes a light under dress, green over skirt, a striped dirdle, a mustard dirdle, a yellow flower apron, and a green cloak inspired by a nun's attire.

Boots that aren't seen are from Queen's Treasures

Brahmin was designed by me and made by apothecarytoothfairy on Etsy

*Disclaimer: the Brahmin is made from two discontinued Garnet, Caroline's pet calf, plushies. I ensured that there was plenty of Garents to go around before pursuing this commission, as I didn't want to take an ultra rare item from collectors.

This past Saturday when I was going to AG place chicago, I asked one of the employees who worked there about what happened to the GOTY display and they said they don't have it anymore, they were not entirely sure what happened to it. But I'm pretty sure if you have an AG store in your home state, they may still have the display.

I was so happy to take Courtney to see the Fraggles live! Courtney wore her new shirt and had her Fraggles with her.

I love her so much. She’s a pleasant company Molly who had an unfortunate haircut… I wasn’t feeling the baby bangs so I bought her a new wig which is actually Rebecca’s. I love her curls. I think I’m going to call her Jeanie as Molly’s middle name is Jean… but open to suggestions ❤️

Ellowyne Wilde getting her Wednesday on with the American Girl cello.

She’s 16” as compared to AG’s 18”, and has a slighter build all around. But I kept thinking that the cello seemed to be scaled a little bit small for the AG girls, and of course their arms are less posable, so I gave it a shot with Ellowyne. Voila! (But not viola.) (Even if half the listings I saw online were showing the violin when I was looking for the cello. Learn your instruments, people.)

Found Felicity my first day of vacation! 🥳

The girls are ready for Halloween!

Josefina wears the Cinderella outfit from Emily Rose (Amazon). Very nice quality; very full skirt with satin lining and even a white tulle sewn-in petticoat. Bodice is lined as well. Silver shoes with a blue jewel on toe. My only complaint is that the bodice is too long for my AG dolls. Josefina is very slightly taller/ longer torso than the others, and it still seems too long to fit correctly.

Samantha wears a non-AG poodle skirt and pink cardigan I bought many years ago,that also came with a sheer pink scarf (tied around her ponytail). The saddle shoes and socks are also off-brand and I use them with other outfits at times.

Claudie is in the AG Jack o’lantern costume from a few years ago. No notes, it works and fits well. My only complaint is that I don’t think it would fit my PC Samantha.

Charlotte (TM 33) wears Maryellen’s cowgirl outfit. The skirt waistband is pretty tight. My doll was bought new in (I think) 2021, so she’s not one of the older, chunkier dolls. That’s my only complaint with this outfit. The shirt buttons with real buttons.

Nanea wears a Wonder Woman costume from Amazon. This one was a bit disappointing (it’s not Emily Rose). It came without shoes/ boots, there’s no finishing to the single thickness metallic knit fabric that makes up the arm cuffs and headband. Still, it’s a costume, not intended to be worn by a child all day. Also after buying it, I regretted buying a costume that could only be worn in warm weather (yes I’m weird that way!). It’s often warm here for Halloween, but can be cold and rainy. Of course, Nanea trick-or-treating in Hawaii shouldn’t have to worry about getting cold!

Melody of course is in the Emily Rose Jasmine costume. This is another high-quality outfit from Emily Rose.

Jack-o-lantern treat containers came from Big Lots or the Dollar Store.

The queens treasures Im considering getting a couple of their cats

I believe I've already done one of these, but I just love my 80! ❤️I think she looks fantastic in light pink. I really need to get her some more outfits 🤔

I’m not sure if anybody else has had similar issues with the American girl dolls that you buy at Sam’s Club the ones with the chair and the long hair looks I got one of them finally because this is the closest one to me as I don’t live near an American girl doll store and first things first is that I love the chair it sticks to the table. We all love that in the chair goes backwards so that you can wash their hair in like a sink. That’s what we like.

But the doll itself was a little disappointing. Mine didn’t have the long hair in fact, hers went down to her back, but it wasn’t like the long hair looks that we see online. I’m OK with the wig not being centered. I mean it bothered me a little bit because it was centered in the box in the photo but I can live with that but what I don’t like is that the refs were falling out and I just took her out of the box. I didn’t even cut any string. I was able to like wiggle her out.

I’m not sure if anybody else has had issues with this, but I don’t understand why the quality slipped. I’m not gonna return it because I don’t have a membership and this is like one of the best salon chairs I’ve ever received. I’m just gonna change the dolls wig, but I’m just so surprised that they would let this be sold, especially since this is a doll that is meant for kids to play in their hair.

this is my custom addy (her wig isnt glued down so she’s usually my wig model) idk what to do with this wig. i’ve had it for awhile and forgot why i got it lol. does it remind you of any people or characters?

I remember asking my mom why I couldn't get more AG dolls. "SARA (Stephenswodadancer) has over 20!" "Well Sara has more money than us" 😭

Last year someone gave me their childhood doll, a white bodied Samantha. At the time I cleaned her up, tightened her limbs etc. I wanted to keep her original wig but I was also so scared of ruining it so it took me a while to get around to curling her hair. It’s not exactly like Samantha’s factory curls, but I’m happy with how she turned out!

I've wanted JLY 21 since I was a little kid and I'm so excited to have her, however, she's a bit more TLC than I expected from the listing—it mentioned "frizzy hair" which I was fine with because she's an early 2000s doll (she has the PC stamp + the early 2000s box) and the pin curls were my main priority, but there's a dryness problem on her ends + two of the pin curls are much rougher than the other side. So, I'd love some hair restoration advice. I've read a couple articles but maybe people on here have tips I haven't seen yet.

Also, she was advertised as having "shine marks" and what was actually on her face was some kind of spilled shiny stuff (maybe makeup?) that came off with water and scrubbing but left behind a little shine. I'm not really worried about working on those further, I'm happy with the results, but she has two HUGE scuffs on the side of her face. Since the scuffs aren't near her cheek blush, is it safe to try to buff them with a magic eraser?

NEW limited edition flannel Mommy and me PJs, exclusively for Hanna Rewards members! But unfortunately no doll sized PJs of these!

Thoughts?

Not much special here, just wanted to share a photo BC I thought she looked cute today.​

Fellow AG fans, please help cure my work boredom. What historical or GOTY has your favorite books? Could be that you relate to the character in some way, the writing itself, the time period, the background of the characters, etc.

My mini me project is finally finished. She was so fun to restore! Limbs tightened, stains removed, and rewigged! It was a fun first-time restoration project. :)

I’ve decided to cut the hair on one of my dolls and I’m looking for inspo pics. If you’ve got a doll with their hair cut shorter than their usual factory style can you please post a pic? Especially dolls with short hair and bangs!

Pic of Wren included just for attention. Her hair is shorter than I’m aiming for but I want to see all the dolls! ☺️

I'm thinking about getting her but im curious as to peoples thoughts on her now she's been out for some time and probably a lot of the newness has passes.

I got this Pleasant Company JLY 9 second hand, and she’s in great condition other than her haircut, which was cut and is too thin to style.

I’ve never re-wigged a doll before and would be a bit nervous to (esp since she’s pleasant company), but it would be nice for her to have thicker hair.

Or is the mullet sorta look she’s got going on a slay? Thoughts? :)

My little kid heart is exploding rn :))
