Build & Imagine Malia's Beach House Review

I was so very lucky to receive Build & Imagine's Malia's Beach House to review and oh my gosh this is an amazing and fun set!

I love the sturdy and reusable box that this magnetic building set comes with and all the pieces that work together. Joining me for the review are my nieces Thea aged 5 and Laura age 7. These girls and I had a blast with all of the different rooms and pieces.

I love the attention to detail in this set and the fact that the little door opens is very cool.

The pieces are magnetic and easily go together to form a really cool house. You can chance your house each time and you can make up to three stories with this play set.  The girls had a blast flipping the pieces to reveal more "rooms"

I love that you can change Malia's and her friend's outfits. The little magnetic clothing not only attaches to the wooden dolls but you can hang it in the dolls closet too!

My nieces and I had a great time playing with Malia's Beach House and we think it is a wonderful play set. My niece even said "maybe I can get this for Christmas!" 

I know this set is going to be very popular and that it will see lots of play time at our future tea parties!

Madelon's Maryellen In An Our Generation Dress!

Madelon added Maryellen to her doll family a few weeks ago and she is having fun trying on different outfits from her doll play collection on Maryellen. She is such a beautiful doll that so much would look great on her!

 "I feel like some of my Our Generation outfits have a 50's feel to them, so I tried this dress on her and I could not be happier!"

It does look like it was made for her and the colors work well with her current collection!

Amazing Custom Dolls By YelenaBoutique

I stumbled on an amazing Etsy shop for Custom Dolls this morning and wanted to share. The above doll caught my eye first and then the remainder of the shop was as intriguing so I had to share! Yelena Boutique offers doll collectors some truly amazing customs.

Part of what makes these dolls so amazing is that their hair is not done with wigs but are hair weaves!

These dolls are stunning and I can only imagine the work that has gone into each of them.
