Vancouver Store Gabriela Launch



My niece and I braved the Vancouver Ice and snow on January 1st for the release of the Girl of the year.
We brought home Gabriela and my niece and I think she is fantastic. We love her hair so much!
This was such an exciting thing to do with her as she was visiting from Montreal and the store was not busy at all! We had a nice visit wit a few familiar faces but we missed Miss Nikki, now that she is not in the store I felt like a bit of the magic was gone. This doll though and her line is wonderful and we are thrilled.

I love the store exclusives and was surprised to see what was on sale!
Great outfits and colors!

First time for me seeing the fun camper too!
The store was not busy but there Gabriela was flying of the shelf!
Great job AG with this years doll of the year!

Happy New Year, Gabriela and Congrats To Our Tea Time Panel Winner!


Wishing you a very Happy New Year from my new house to yours! I have missed you all so much. I have had a very tough last few weeks with a move that I thought would do me in and lack of internet access that made me feel completely cut off from the world. I am happy to say I am able to write again, thanks to my brother in law who seems to have found me a temporary fix until I can buy a new computer.

On too dolly news! What are you all look forward to most from Gabriela's line? The new GOTY is my second most favorite since they began! My niece and I are supposed to stop by the store and pick her up today. I am so excited to see her in person. I am thrilled American Girl has come up with such a great story and a beautiful doll to get excited about.

I am not a huge fan though of the new boxes....if you have not seen them yet there is a clear plastic front that reminds me of the Cabbage Patch Boxes I got when I was little... I would love to hear your thoughts.
Congrats to Theresa Norris who is the winner of the Tea Time Fabric Panels Prize! Your panel will be sent to you from Tea Time Fabric Panels soon! We can not wait to see how it turns out!
Thank you and best wishes for 2017 to you and your family! With love and appreciation for your patience with me while I moved and got back up and running. Take care!
