Gracie

This weekend is the local craft show where I live. I love to go and look at all the amazing stuff that people sell. I decided to go yesterday in the hopes of finding a rabbit doll that I could turn into Edward Tulane from the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Surprisingly, there was only one booth that had rabbit dolls. I was looking at them trying to pick out the perfect one to be Edward when I saw an adorable goose doll. As adorable as the rabbits were, the goose was much cuter. And she was the only one so I instantly wanted her. It didn't help that the owner of the booth came up to me and started telling me how lonely the goose was because she wanted a new home so bad. Needless to say, I bought her! She is so adorable and so soft and cuddly that I want to hug her all the time. She is so well made and the detail on her is amazing. I named her Gracie the Goose.

Barnes and Noble

Yesterday we went to Barnes and Noble in the hopes of finding the Caroline display. At first I was really disappointed because we found the American Girl section and they had a display with Caroline books but they didn't have a display for a doll giveaway. But then, as we were leaving, I noticed that on the other side of the kid's section they had another American Girl display with a Caroline doll! Why they had the second display on the other side... I have no idea but I was so excited! Caroline is so pretty!!! We actually had to ask for an entry form because they didn't have any out. Apparently someone stole them all... I'm guessing because they didn't want anyone else to enter the contest. Anyways... I am now entered. I also bought her first book. I'm almost done with it already. Its so good!!!

Lola

Lola represents a lot of first for me. She was the first doll that I ever bought off ebay, she was my first tlc doll, she was the first doll that I ever worked on, and she was the first doll that I ever rescued and restored. Every time I look at her I can still remember how much fun I had working on her and how excited I was when I finally finished her.

I purchased Lola off ebay from a nice lady that found her in a thrift store. The lady was shocked when she got home, took Lola's shoes off, and realized that her feet had been burned. It looked like someone had left Lola standing on a lamp or some other hot object too long. One of her feet was solid black. Her other foot was melted to the point where it was hollow in the middle. Poor Lola couldn't even stand on her own because her feet were damaged too much. The nice lady that bought her didn't know how to fix her so she listed her on ebay. The second I saw her listing I knew I had to have her.

Once Lola arrived at my house I took her apart and cleaned her. I gave her hair a downy dunk and trimmed the ends. It took a while to find Lola a new pair of legs. In the meantime, I purchased her an adorable pair of slippers that I kept on her feet to prevent any further damage. Most of the early pictures of Lola show her either leaning on something or sitting down because she could never stand on her own.

Eventually Lola's new legs arrived. Once I put them on her she was like a whole new doll. Now she can pose for pictures and model outfits just like all the other dolls.

Winnie

Even though I created a page that shows all of my dolls, I'm going to try to give each of them their own post. Not only can I tell more about each doll, but it will also give me an opportunity to show some of the older pictures that I have. Because Winnie is the doll that got me interested in American Girl Dolls again, I'm going to start with her.

Winnie was my second American Girl doll and the first one that I purchased after I became interested in dolls again. She is my go to doll whenever I want to take pictures. She always looks great in any picture.

Welcome!
