A Canadian Visit In Store With Linda P!

Great news from one of our readers! Linda P wrote in this week to share the following news and photos! 

"The price of the AG dolls has dropped on Indigo's website..$139.00 now rather than $154.00, except Lea which I think is at $149.00 and Addy is clearing at $95.00 but in store so far. All of Addy's stuff is clearing for a considerable amount of $$ off in the actual store.
The website shows some of the new prices for the dolls....but they haven't changed the beforever title page but if you go to each doll the new price is there. The truly me dolls are also at 139.00 on the website.

"There are also random outfits on clearance, Rebecca's PJ's for 19 and Julie's patchwork outfit for 29.50 and Julie's hair style stuff."

"The new releases are there as well except Wellie wishers. Thought your readers might be interested in the price reductions because the stuff on the website could be ordered from kiosks, the shoes are so cute!"

Thank you Linda for sharing your photos and info with all of us today!

American Girl Canada. What We Know So far...

I am getting excited as I know many of my fellow Canadian doll lovers are that the Vancouver and Toronto American Girl Stores are opening very soon! Barb N kindly reminded me that it is more then time for a progress report.

What we know so far about the American Girl Store in Vancouver is it will be 1800 square feet of American Girl Joy, nestled above the Chapters on Robson in down town Vancouver.

I have been assured that  customers will get the American Girl Experience they have come to love and expect in store. Although there is no cafe, the Hair Styling Salon is one I am so thrilled American Girl decided to out in out local flag ship store!

Other things I am excited about....
The T-Shirts, The one thing I expect to purchase for myself is the Red Shirts I collect. I saw a photo on line (not my own so I am not sharing it here) that clearly says Vancouver!!! So if you are in Toronto and make it to the Flag ship store and want to switch a red shirt with me EMAIL ME!!!

Many people have asked why I do not go get a job at AG here in Vancouver. The answer is simple, I want to continue to write and share all about the doll world with you all here and in my work with Doll Diaries and Daydream Doll Boutique. I love what I do, its a wonderful hobby and I am not quite ready to give all that up on the chance I could work at the store. That may change in time but for now I remain a very loyal and happy customer.

I am thrilled to announce that the store is slated to open in Early May and as an insider I know they will have a "Soft Open" in late April. I will make my way to the store  for sure and hope that if you are there you will seek me out!

American Girl Comes To Canada

So yesterday I got word that the American Girl Stores are coming to Canada. I have heard rumors of this for years but yesterday it became official.

Coming in the Spring of 2014 I understand that about 15 minutes from my house an American Girl Boutique will be opening here in Vancouver.

I am very excited for the opportunity that the in store experience gives to doll lovers  . You can read more about the stores opening by clicking here .

I will bring you updates as soon as I have them on the progress of the opening. I am excited to see what this new venture means for Canadian Doll Lovers.
