Happy Valentines Day with Phoebes Phasions

I met a young lady on the Amino groups for American Girl. One of these talented young ladies on the Amino group shared her work with me. I was so excited I told her to throw me together a box of different Valentines themed items. I wanted to share her talent with my visitors to my blog. . I will be giving away a code on 10% off your next order (exclusions are custom orders). So comment about how your dolls spend Valentines Day and what you like on Phoebe's Phashions Etsy page  for a chance at 10% off.

Everything came beautifully and professionally wrapped in a nice box with fairly fast shipping. My husband didn't even want me to unwrap the items...

The dum dum suckers look authentic, there is a little box of starburst and a couple of fruity drinks for the girls... Also a cute little handmade pendant for Sheeran :) Isn't it cute?

I can't wait to order more for my St Patty's Display! Everything is so well made I will be going back to Phoebe's Phashions

We did a photoshoot with our collection. Skylar wanted to pose them by era... So we did a lot of individuals.. Plus I like a group shot just to brag about our collection ;)

Doll update and yard sale finds-- show off thread

I need two more shelves one to put my other collectable dolls (Play Wonder and Magic attic) and for my Girl of the Year and Customs...

The main collection. I put my Truly Me dolls (formerly Just Like You) on the shelf since they won't be played with a whole lot... So on the top shelf is my Samantha, Lily (24), Marianna (28), Emma who is a Play Wonder doll, Felicity- she's in delicate condition :(, Charlie (13), Matilda (17), Taylor (22) and Isabella as Avril Lavigne. Then Ivy, McKenna, Gwen (she's new to us!) Molly, Emily, Ruthie, Kit, Kaya on the back row. Lindsey, Saige, with Marie- Grace behind her, Addy, Caroline, Cecile, Nellie and Samantha again.

my customs Lil Will, Mack, Carlo, and Jeanette.

my messy shelf with my other dolls and Bitty Twins..

This is just a picture where I keep their clothes organized and stuff. I am going to redo it soon probably with my wicker set and get rid of the wooden chair we will see. 

Now for the past couple of weeks I think I have found some great yard sale deals. I think the weekend before last I went to a yard sale and found a few TLC beds for a really irresistible price. My daughter won't play with the beds I don't think and I have already unassembled the doll house so I have no where to put them but to fix them up and keep them as collectors or give them to another girl to enjoy? We will have to see. 

Samantha's bed

a non AG dining set its missing a spoke but its not noticable if there is a doll using it :) Great for my Thanksgiving display don't you think?

Felicity's sampler I was told this was the best find like almost ever ;)

Moon and Stars trundle oops they had it with Samantha's bedding but SCORE :)

and Kit's bed.

Then after that last Thursday I found a Craigslist ad for another yard sale. I emailed my husband would we dare after the last one? YES we dared! I actually sold my Our Generation Camper and Kitchen to save money to go to Nashville for the grand opening this week of the new American Girl store but I asked ahead and they didn't have the retiring Caroline items I wanted... so I opted for this instead.... Kirsten's kittens, Molly's tap outfit, Nutmeg Julie's bunny, a birthday cake, Chrissa's picnic table and bench and beautiful Gwen! I so wanted to get more but I was restraining myself. I was pouting that Julie had a little more TLC than what I wanted for a collectors doll and Kirsten which was absolutely almost flawless but she was a newer version and I so want to get the Pleasant Company version where its truly from when I grew up and dreamed of owning her and Samantha. 

The doll beds may all need a little TLC, bedding or mattress which is okay by me since I know on our budget we couldn't hope for something nicer... So check your yard sale sites, check your bookoo, check your Craigslist and Freecycle once , twice and you will find dolls and other items within your budget like me!

Molly's Playground

Over the years being involved in the Facebook American Girl community I have met people and have networked with them or became friends with them. One of them a  talented lady named Tammara who is an awesome designer. I have quite a few pieces from her AG collection but you should see what she makes for her whole family! She is very creative! Check out her Etsy page here https://www.etsy.com/shop/mollysplayground
Her Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/groups/mollysplayground/
She when time allows it is willing to try and do customs and she has costumes like many Disney designs,  Star Wars or Harry Potter...

So I decided to do this month's display with some of her creations I have bought.

Cecile is wearing a beautiful colorful My Little Pony shirt, I have Isabelle dressed up to look like Avril Lavigne, Little Will my son's doll has a Minecraft shirt on because my son loves Minecraft, Kit is wearing a cute kitty cat top and Carlo is sporting a skully long sleeve tee. They all look so cute!

I asked her to make this Planes top to also match my son that was one of his birthday gifts.

Tammara was great at helping me recreate Avril's looks so my Isabelle doll could look like her. She made her t-shirt and socks I collected the other pieces from groups, Etsy, and Ebay.

and the Minecraft tee looks like this.. Simple but fantastic. The stitching and detail on each of her pieces is awesome and professional. She has an attention to detail. The fit of the clothing is great the fabrics are heavy and of good quality. 

Take a look at her shop.. I wish I could buy more!
