This is the only picture I have (I sold this set awhile back). Not the best, but it shows the ramilletes stick and sprigs. Maybe you can find a silver coaster that is similar to the tray.

Celebrate Easter with treats for your doll! Her bow-tied basket holds two pretend marshmallow chicks, nine pretend candies, and a tiny bunny! Open the two plastic eggs to find a pretty bracelet, a beaded choker, and two barrettes. The basket has a metal frame, but the majority of it is just woven ribbon. The bunny is heavy and is covered in the same fuzz as Josefina's goat. The "peeps" are very cute and are covered in glitter. My set was used and didn't come with the candy, bracelet/necklace or barrettes. Overall this set is very cute and is well worth the retail price. It comes with many pieces and will provided lots of enjoyment. A+

Contains a lunch bag, a slice of pizza in a plastic container, a garden salad, half a banana, a carton of milk, and a peanut butter cookie. Don’t forget the napkin, straw, and “spork”! The set is very cute, but the pieces seem to be a bit on the small side. The food has a rubbery feel and is pretty pliable. All the food fits nicely in the plastic container. The lunch bag has an adjustable shoulder strap and velcro closure. The milk cart is very realistic, but is a little small. The spork is adorable, but small. Overall this set has a lot of pieces and a lot of play factor. I give it an A- for the size being a little small. I didn't think to take any pictures with an actual doll, but I will get some pictures taken in a few days. Pizza shown with the pizza from the Sleepover set.

I was so excited to finally get this set. The satchel is well made and everything stores in it nicely. The acubus isn't flimsy at all and is actually pretty sturdy. The Union reader, like a real text book, has easy lessons in the beginning and more complex stories towards the end. The slate is just painted wood, but is double sided to allow lots of work space.

I love Addy's washtand. It matches her bed perfectly and is very well made and solid. It is 10 1/2" high and 8" wide (at towel bar). The drawer is perfect for storing her sansa, candy tin and her bag of beans from the mancala set. Nice washstand - Grade A+

I recently got this set from ebay and I am pleased with it. I was suprised by the size of the table (14" across). I thought it would be a little smaller. My chairs have American Girl stickers, but are made of wood. Overall all this is a very sturdy set and is well worth the price I paid.

We got Sprocket today and my daughter loves him. He is very cute, but I wish his collar wasn't sewn on. It is a bit akward. His accessories are cute, but I have put them up so they don't get lost. Since there aren't any pictures of his accessories, I took a few.

My dd has been playing with it since it arrived. It comes with a lot of little pieces, but everything stores nicely in the drawer except for the paper pad. My only complaint is that my dd kept knocking off the easel part and I have to snap it back in for her. Overall this is a cute set. I don't think it is wort $34, but at the sales price it is a bargain. Oops, I just realized that I didn't get any pictures of the apron. I will post it later folded down

Mattel
I just got this today and I was really disappointed with the fraying edges. I wish I would have read this review first. I would have definetly passed on this if I had. My daughter does love the "pirate" hat.

This is a beautiful outfit. The color is really pretty and I love the embroidered details on the dress. The ballet slippers took a few minutes to figure out and I am still not sure if I have them on right. There is no way my dd would be able to do the shoes herself. The back of the dress has a tulle bow at the top.
The clips are actually alligator clips as opposed to hair combs. They hold very well.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this today at a local thrift store. The scenes are nice and have a lot of detail. I just wish the bed wasn't include in the bedroom picture. Even though I knew the dimensions, the size is a bit overwhelming when opened up. It is pretty big and takes up a lot of space.

I bought this from a board member and it arrived today. It is adorable. I love the top and the clogs are too cute! Kit (Mattel version) is wearing it right now and the jeans fit her fine. I haven't tried them on any of our PM dolls. My daughter has claimed it for Kit and won't let anyone else wear it. I guess I will have to track down another outfit for the other dolls to share.

I love this desk. It does scratch pretty easily, but it makes the piece seem more authentic. The wood has a nice weight to it and so does the metal used in the bench. I was lucky enough to find 2 desks and I am hoping to find 1 more. All I need now is Addy's satchel and supplies.

Since there isn't a picture of the outfit, I thought I would include one. I have been wanting this outfit for awhile and I am very pleased with it. I love all of the little details in the dress and the shoes are very cute. Overall grade ~ A

We ordered the replacement parts for the pizza and lemonade (2 sets of 2). They arrived today and dd loves them. She is having a pizza party right now with the girls. The lemonade is super cute and the pizza is more realistic looking than I thought it would be. Like rabluv stated, the pizza box doesn't stay closed, but it doesn't bother me too much. We will be ordering another pizza and more lemonade! Great play value. Very durable pieces. ETA ~ Here are some close up pictures. Sorry for not putting the pizza back together correctly.

I just got this set today and it is so cute! I was surprised at how much detail is in each tiny cookie. Each year my daughter and I make salt dough ornanments and she paints them and gives them as gifts. I think this year will we make some tiny ornanments for our AG Christmas tree and maybe some FIMO cookies too!

Cute dress, but I wish it were made of a different material. The satin snags pretty easily and the velcro contributes to the snagging. It would have been nice if this dress had the no snag velcro on it. The moccasins were a lot easier to get on then I thought they would be. Overall - A

I love the bright colors of this outfit. I like the yoke, but I think it is little busy when paired with the scarf. The yoke slips over the head and the braids/hair has to be pulled through. The skirt, shirt and vest all have the no snag velcro which is nice. Great modern outfit that is pretty versaitle set. Overall Grade: A I was too lazy to add the yellow ribbons to her hair.

I love this dress! I actually like it better than Kaya's Meet outfit. It is very well made and I love the beadwork at the top. My only complaint is that the belt is too tight. This dress is a must have for Kaya.
Overall Grade : A+

I recently won this set on ebay and I really like it alot. I am a sucker for the historically accurate accessories and if you are like me, this is a must have. This set seems really durable and is sure to allow a lot of play time.

I love Kaya's doll and cradleboard. Her little dress is so cute and I love all the detail that was put into this doll. She is by far one of my favorite dolls. My only complaint, like many others, is that the lacing is fragile and the doll is hard to get in and out of the cradle.
Overall Grade: A

We got Talto & Travois today and Talto is now asleep in bed with my daughter. I am undecided about the travois. I like the fact that is can be taken apart to make storage easier, but I don't like that is seems a little flimsy when put together.
Talto gets an A from us because he is so cute and authentic looking. I would rate the travois a B- since it seems flimsy.

This is one of the best food sets AG has made. Out of all the lunch/food sets we have I think this set is the most accurate and realistic. My daughter loves the magnetic huckleberies and the finger cakes.
This set seems very durable and has a lot of play value.
Overall Grade: A+

I won this set in a lot on ebay. My daughter loves putting the candles in the cake. Our version is a little different than the one above. Our cake comes on wax paper doily with a scalloped edge instead of the pretty paper doily. My candy cups also have a paper cover on them. We don't collect Molly items, so I probably wouldn't have purchased this set by itself. However, my daughter loves playing with it and I believe most young girls would too. Overall - A

I won this set on ebay and was so happy to finally get it. I was suprised at the size of the pail, it was bigger than I was expecting. The cookies that spell "LOVE" are really cute, but are very small. If you have a younger child, you might want to put them up so they don't get lost. The pie and grapes are heavy and not all that cute. I do love the significance of this set. Overall - A

We got this in today and I was pleasantly surprised with this set. The watermelon is translucant and is very cute. The hamburgers come in 4 pieces, bottom bun, hamburger patty with ketchup & mustard on it, lettuce & pickles and the top bun. The chips are just little bags of air. Overall design & playability - A close up of watermelon close up of hamburger

We got this set today in a lot from ebay. It is all plastic, but the chairs are a lot sturdier than I thought they would be. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get the seat bottoms in so they didn't come out, but they have held up so far. The table seems a little rickety (the top moves at the slightest touch). This set takes up a lot of space when the umbrella is installed (we have been using it without the umbrella).
I got an awesome deal on this, but I don't think it would be worth the original $70 price tag. Overall all I give this a grade B.
ETA - Measurements
The umbrella is about 2 feet in diameter and is about 26.5" tall. The table is 10" high and 14" across. The chairs are 12" high, 7" across and 7" deep.
