I made a kitty tee for my customized Nellie. Really please how it turned out.  5 by Laura *, on Flickr |

These are just so beautiful and look just like a miniature replica of the real thing. The pitcher and bowl have a sweet floral design and are rimmed in gold. The white towel is very nice and has a lovely lace edge. It makes a pretty display piece on its own.

Kirsten's nightgown is so cute. The flannel is very soft and the blue cross design stitching on the bodice and cuffs and blue ribbon are pretty. It looks sweet and perfectly accurate.

I can only review the stand which I received as a bonus with my Josefina doll. It does look hand carved and the front portions pulls out. It is pure wood. I plan to make a top for it for Josefina to store her Nighttime Necessities on.

My PC set is from 1993 when the blue hair ribbon was added. I like the dress paired with the slippers with blue bows. The outfit looks nice on Felicity, but I would have preferred if it had been done in green to match her eyes.

I had this outfit briefly. The color is pretty and actually love the sheer sleeves. The lace trim at the bottom is also quite beautiful. I love the shoes. It just didn't seem to work well with my Caroline so I returned it.

Nellie is such a sweet doll with the Josefina mold and freckles. Her hair is a pretty strawberry blonde and her meet meet dress is definitely one of my favorites. The pale blue color and double puffed sleeves are lovely.

Felicity's hornbook is wood and has the alphabet and The Lord's Prayer on it. The inkwell is beautifully paint almost in a delft pattern. The sander is silver and has a top that unscrews. the copybook is so cute and contains drawings of Penny and I love the ink splotches. I loved this set so much I bought a second complete one.

Coming back to finally add a photo of my stunning Caroline. I think she is the loveliest doll AG meaning dolls 1998 or beyond has ever created. Her flaxen curls and seafoam eyes give her a darling, angelic look.  z1 by Laura *, on Flickr |

This is such a timeless dress and looks great on many dolls and a number of eras. My daughter received this when it first came out. The taffeta is a beautiful plaid and the waist sash has lovely fringe on the ends which make it quite elegant. I think it looks gorgeous on Felicity.

While I had no intention of buying any of the LSF, I couldn't pass this one up when it was on the last chance page and I had rewards to get it free. I ordered it and the next morning it was gone. It's a super sweet dress and I love the butterfly sleeves and the crochet lace trim as well as the darling bow in the back. I'm using it in my 1930's and 1980's time frames. Now I'm very happy to have it.  Screenshot 2023-06-06 185052 by Laura *, on Flickr  Screenshot 2023-06-06 185026 by Laura *, on Flickr |

The outfit was sweet and well made. My daughter had it when she was young. It looked very fancy with the satin skirt and gold tassel on the hairband. The blouse was well made. Unfortunately, it didn't survive the downsizing cut before I was a collector.

I got this with rewards when it was on sale for $11. The metals are okay, nothing special although they are metal. The jacket is lightweight.
Now the flag is what I really wanted from the set. The stars are all embroidered, and I was very impressed by that.
I ended up giving away all except the flag which I will use in 4th of July display even though the number of stars isn't historical accurate for any of my doll's eras.

I didn't feel the need to have the rest, but I just snagged the shoes alone off of eBay. They look so cute with the little oval cutout on the vamp and the polka-dot bow. I want to make a 4th of July dress to pair them with. Are adorable like Kit's red reporter dress shoes.

Kirsten's carpetbag look completely realistic. The carpet is nice and thick and the leather handles and strap are well made. It is perfect for Kirsten to store her socks in.

The paper dolls are beyond cute. The thaumatrope is fun to play with and the snowshoes are well made of wood.

This is a sweet dress. It's perfect for summer and I love the little oval buttons. The hat is darling with the charries.

Such a realistic an appropriate dress for Kirsten. This was my daughter's set. The kerchief looks darling tied around Kirsten's head.

Recently acquired an additional Rowe pitcher. This set is just darling with the little painted birds.

This outfit screams 1970's. My daughter actually had this prior to having Julie, but sold it later.

This is the only outfit my daughter bought of Julie's collection. the jumpsuit is quite nice, and the print is cute. The turtleneck could pair with other things.

My daughter's Julie is from 2013. Right before BF she decided she wanted her and wanted her original meet. She is her only doll purchased as an adult. Julie has nice silky hair although it is stick straight.

This is my favorite of the table and chairs sets. My daughter received hers as a birthday gift in the mid 1990's The set is solid wood and the little hearts are adorable. Since it is so plain it works in a variety of eras and with different settings.

Even though we collect absolutely nothing else Molly my daughter had to have her school jumper and blouse. The plaid jumper is very soft and well made and the blouse is sweetly trimmed. She loves it as a school outfit for Kit. It also looks darling on Nellie.

I have the phone only from this set, but it is super cute and a doll can really hold it. It can even be used in Samantha's time frame.

I just recently found the golden slippers only from this set. They are so cute with their four straps. I think I'll once again be fitting them into my 1980's girl's wardrobe.

I absolutely love this school set. The Union Reder is so nice and the Satchel looks like something Addy's momma would have made for her. I don't have the double slate. The abacus is my favorite item in this set. The little beads move easily and the frame and handle are beautifully designed. I liked the abacus so much I purchased a second one.

My daughter has the older version and has always liked it. As a child she pretended it was medical bag for her dolls. It does remind me of a smaller version of a purse I had as a child.

The skirt is heavy and really looks woven, The red sash is a nice contrast. I think the blouse is lovely. The edging is fancier than her meet blouse. I wish my daughter hadn't sold this and I'm still hoping to find it for my own doll someday.

This is such a pretty set. The soft pink is perfect for spring. My daughter had this and sadly sold it. I did find the underskirt in my box of doll stuff recently.
