Jessica T's Family Surprise!

The other day Jessica T wrote me with some wonderful news. She and her daughters had one Gabriela from a local give away with Chicago Parent. This was much welcome news and a well received addition to their doll family.

Even with all the drama that is happening with American Girl this year I still think this is a beautiful and wonderful doll of the year. My niece Trin and I went and got her January 1st and we just loved her! Hair and her shoes were our favorite and I love her face mold.

Congrats to Jessica T and her family on this lovely surprise and you can learn more about Gabriela by clicking here.

Our Generation Jeep and Misson

Madelon found the Jeep from Our Generation in her local Target, it is the first time she had come across it. The also kindly sent a photo of the tag. I am thrilled that Our Generation has a portion of the sales benefiting the Free The Children's Power of A Girl Initiative, makes one feel that much better about buying Our Generation items.

My niece Trinity in Montreal has this wonderful play piece and she loves it, it is hard not too!

It is roomy and fun to pretend with and has great colors.

It looks like a real jeep and adds hours of fun to her doll play. Keep your eyes out for this and other great play pieces from Our Generation.

Thoughts on the pending new and re-releases?

Today Madelon shares two of her dolls and the rumor that these are going to be re-released shortly. We would love to hear what you think...

"With rumors of Felicity being released to three flagship AG stores and on line, I wanted to share my Mattel/American Girl Elizabeth and Felicity. Both outfits were made by hand and purchased from Ebay years ago"

"These dolls have beautiful striking eye color"

"I hope the new Felicity has vibrant green eyes"
