All-Inclusive Designs A Shop You Are Going To Want To Share!

When I started my blog years ago I did so with the hopes of highlighting ways doll lovers, their moms, grandmas and crafty aunties could make doll play more fun and more accessible. Sharing Etsy shops on here has been a delight and a service I strongly believe in. Today I share All-Inclusive Designs and hope you will enjoy what this Etsy shop has to offer. I love the simple and easy designs of these princess inspired outfits and I think you will too!

The above is my personal favorite. I love Snow white likely my favorite princess of all time and I love the simple yet modern look of this $15 dress.

There are several princes inspired dresses for you to choose from and the price stays the same.

Girl sizes are also avalible from size 2-7! There are so many wonderful items in this shop and one I hope you will stop by and share with others. Click here to visit All-Inclusive Designs.

New Doll Excitement! Disney Descendants Dolls!

Having had my nieces with me for the last few weeks has brought to my attention a new series of Dolls that Disney has out to go with the Movie release happening this month an I will have to admit I am going to watch this one closely! I love plot and the idea behind this movie. I am so excited!

I am also equally excited to see the line of dolls that is accompanying this new series. 

These dolls have the trademark Disney Eyes and fashion forward costumes but also are ball jointed and have really fun accessories!

I have to tell you that I think that the Evie and Mal Dolls are my favorite already!

There is so much to love with these new dolls and I can not wait for the Movie!
July 31st is the release date here in Canada I can not wait!
Toys R Us currently has these dolls starting at under $25! These are sure to be a hit with your tween Disney doll lovers!
I would love to know what you think of these dolls and the movie so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com

Madelon's Fun Find And Sweet Treat Party Idea!

Ice cream treats for your and your dolls are today's Madelon's fun find!

Both these types of Ice cream individual sizes were found at Madelon's local grocery store and they are perfect for dolly ice cream parties.

One for every girl at the party and simply wash out and use in doll play after!

I will have to look for these at my grocery store to see if they have them here in Canada but if not I know I will have to find a few to bring home with me from my trip!
I think these would make a wonderful party theme and a great take home gift. Simply have your guest enjoy their ice cream wash and dry them out and add pomp poms in ice cream colors to the empty containers for instant scoops of Dolly Ice Cream!
Thank you Madelon for this wonderful fun find and giving us a great idea for a doll party activity!

Madelon's Teaberry NJ Fun Finds, Wished She Could Have Brought Them All Home!

Have you ever walked by something and thought I should really buy that and then decided not to and regretted it? I think that is what happened to Madelon on a recent trip to Teaberry in New Jersey.

She found this Amish Doll Swing and it is so charming I think we all wished we could have it!

Another fun find is this red pot set that would be perfect for Molly's collection! I would have had a hard time walking away from this.

I love this washboard set as well and we all know a historical doll lover would have fun with this play set!
I love Madelon's fun finds and all the ways she incorporates everyday items into doll play! These would be truly hard to leave behind.
Thank you for sharing this with us today!

Madelon's New Jersey Walmart Visit

Often I hit Walmart here or just over the boarder and find that the store has been largely shopped out of all the 18 inch doll My Life As items but Madelon recently found a store in New Jersey that was stocked with some wonderful dolls and new products!

A truly fun find is the Hair Stylist New York themed 18 inch dolls

Along with the summer themed dolls this store was well stocked!

Clearly they had a lovely selection of a mixture of these dolls!

they also had some of the most sought after play sets!
I love it when you find everything you are looking for in one spot and Madelon clearly hit pay dirt with this location. Keep your eyes out at your local Walmart for this line of fun items and dolls!
