Released in 1987 (with Quilt Kit as part of it), modified in 1998 (when Quilt Kit was removed and added to Friendship Quilt & Quilt Kit set), retired in 2007.
For pioneer children, a day without work was a special day indeed. So on her tenth birthday Kirsten was allowed to leave her chores behind and join her friends for a day of fun. Re-create Kirsten's birthday celebration with a hand-carved wooden salt box brimming with field flowers, lots of plump strawberries, and a heart-shaped cake on a wooden platter, just like Mama made.
Includes: - Salt box - Flowers - Strawberries - Heart shaped cake - Wooden platter
I really love this set. The saltbox has pretty carved details and notched edges. The strawberries are dark red and they're slightly speckled looking (so it looks like sugared strawberries) and the cake is firm and looks spongy. The flowers look exactly like the flowers that comes with Addy's "Flower Picking Outfit"

I got this last night and love it. I just wish the salt box wasn't balsa wood. It looks like it would damage easily.

I like this set, but I do NOT think it's worth the money. The salt box is really nice, but both the flowers and strawberries seem kind of plasticy... I don't know. Still, they are nice. The wooden platter is just what you'd expect -- a wood platter. I really like the cake the most out of the whole set. It's a nice texture.

I just got this set last week, and I LOVE it! The detail is darling, and I love the little saltbox with the flowers. I agree it is definitely overpriced, but I love Kirsten the best and I want her entire collection. Especially with this item being rumored for retirement, I knew I needed to get it now. I really regretted not being able to get Felicity's old party treats and chocolate set before it retired, so I didn't want that to happen again with Kirsten. Now that I have both her pottery set and party treats, she's asking for her table and chairs!

A very specific question, I know, but I would appreciate if someone who knows the original number could help me out! Thanks!

Strange, I counted the number of strawberries in the picture shown with AGPT's Kirsten, where they show all items ever made by AG, and there were 12, BUT I counted mine with the set I have and I have 36, which were new in the bag...... mine are PM, could they have changed the number at some point??

Thank you Breezywindy! And my set has 29, which is used and I believe is AG as opposed to PM, so I don't know, LOL. Hopefully some others will chime in so I can figure this out! Thanks again.

Such a sweet and authentic birthday set. the wooden platter is perfect and I love that the cake is heart shaped. the berries look similar to the della robbia one we have for Christmas only much smaller. The saltbox flower holder is adorable.
