Madelon Makes Wonderful Up Cycled Hair Band for her Dolls

Madelon sent in these photos and such a great idea for an Up Cycled Hair Band.
Made from the strap of a gift bag!

Madelon Slipped the bag handles out of the bag and twisted the ends as shown in the photo above, place the ribbon on your dolls head then twist then ends behind your dolls hair.

What a truly fun way to reduce reuse and recycle! Thanks Madelon!

Auntie Robin Has A Free Shipping Code For My Readers In The USA

 As a lover of the Mini Dolls finding Auntie Robin's Etsy Shop was a true delight!

Auntie Robin is doing for mini dolls what Etsy shop owners have been doing for 18 inch dolls for years but she is doing it in a truly fun way.

 

Auntie Robin is offering her handmade mini doll clothes as custom made to order listings!

I think that is so amazing, not only can you get items for your mini doll but you can get custom items for your mini dolls!!!

Even better you can now order from Auntie Robin and take advantage of her free shipping code for those of you living in the USA!!

 

Robin shared a bit about her self, shop and sewing with me to share with all of you...

"I started selling skirts for little girls on Etsy at the recommendations of a couple of friends. I really love the Etsy community - everyone is so friendly and helpful. Last year I added doll clothes to my shop and those quickly became a customer favorite. As you know, the mini 6" doll clothes are harder to find, so I've had lots of requests for those. I love sewing these little doll clothes and enjoy making just what a little girl asks for. I love custom orders, but also have some ready-made items that can ship right away. My niece inspired me to make the mini AG clothes as her little doll was in need of more outfits to wear! A doll can never have too many outfits! They are a lot of fun and more affordable than the bigger doll clothes. I'm going to be adding some little doll shoes with some of the outfits soon and have lots of plans for new doll clothes. I think it would be fun for a little girl to have a mini AG party and give her guests a little doll dress for a party favor! Please offer your readers free shipping (domestic) with the code FREESHIP."

 

A huge thank you to Auntie Robin for creating items for the mini dolls and for offering my readers this Free Shipping opportunity! You can visit Auntie Robin's Shop by clicking any of the highlighted words in this post.

Great Gatsby Inspired Looks And More From The Edwardian Girl

 

If you get a moment pop over to The Edwardian Girl for some truly fun looks inspired by the recently released movie  The Great Gatsby. 

I love how elegant this outfit looks on shop owner and costume designer, Erin's doll Rebecca don't you?

"This dress is made of lightweight cotton and trimmed with bows made of metallic ribbon, lace, and two gold tone beads. This doll dress will fit 18 inch soft bodied dolls such as American Girl, Gotz, My Twinn, etc."

 

I think the red flapper dress is so enchanting too!

 

"This one of a kind dress is made of lightweight satin and trimmed with sequins, fringe, and a beautiful satin red rose. This doll dress will fit 18 inch soft bodied dolls such as American Girl, Gotz, My Twinn, etc."

 

I have been a customer and I admirer the work Erin does in her shop Edwardian Girl 
Her Pilgrim outfit shown above is one of my most favorite in my collection. 

 

 Erin has also created this Titanic inspired outfit and she is working on so many more timeless pieces!

My Library Visit In Prep For Our Summer Reading Camp

Last Thursday my nieces Laura and Thea and I went to our local library branch, while they enjoyed story time, I enjoyed flipping through a few American Girl Titles.

I loved that the Playway's were Checked in, I was hoping to get Rebecca's but it was already checked out. I highly recommend these playway's and if you can get them at your library do so, it is the entire series on one pre recorded MP3!

I checked out Is This Normal?and I wished I had had this book when I was growing up, if you get a chance to read this as a girl (or mom, aunt or Grandma) it is truly worth the read.

I am currently working my way through Money Makers and even though it is an old one it is a good one! I will do a review on this book for sure.

If you would like to join in our Summer Reading Club, please do, you can join by commenting, or just by reading my blog. If you would like to review any of the American Girl Books you have read or are reading please email me your review (or I can send you a few questions, with your parents permission of course) and I will share your review here this summer on my blog. I am putting together thank you envelopes to mail to the Guest Bloggers who review books this summer on my blog as incentive and  a thank you for your review and time.
