American Girl Find: Girls of Many Lands Doll!

Last weekend my family went to a huge Goodwill Thrift Store, and I found a very big surprise! Once we were getting ready to leave the store I went over to the display case area, and there was a Girls of Many Lands Doll!!
Girls of Many Lands was a line of books produced by American Girl for older girls in 2002, but discontinued in 2005. There were 8 dolls, each was a girl 12 years old and lived in a different time period in a different country. I've found and read some of their books before.

I found the one named Cécile and bought her for $5! Here are some pictures...

Isn't she beautiful? She's 9 inches tall, and I was so surprised to see how pretty she was. Her time period is 1711 in France.

Her head is able to move and be tilted, I love how she looks like she's thinking. :)

The back of her dress is gorgeous!

The American Girl tag is in the inside of her dress too. :)

She is very posable and fun to take pictures of.

And, here are the two Cécile's! Girls of Many Lands Cécile is a little tiny compared to American Girl Cécile. hehe :)

I hope you enjoyed the pictures!! Do you have any of the Girls of Many Lands Dolls or found anything at thrift stores lately? I would love to know!

A Fun Surprise...Kit's Care and Share Basket!

This week my awesome friend Lacey sent me and Hope such a nice surprise in the mail! It is just too cool that I have to share about it with all of you...

Lacey sent Kit's Care and Share Basket that she found in the giftshop at the Cincinnati Union Terminal (which now is a Children's Museum), that she went to this Summer. It is so cute!!

When I opened up the items, I was super excited to see it was a doll craft on how to make paper flowers!

Inside the pamphlet, is some information about how Kit used crepe paper (paper like party streamers) to make the simplest things look special!

The instructions on how to make the paper flowers looked fun! (You can click on the picture to make it bigger to read on how make the paper flowers too!)

When I flipped the pamphlet over and saw that the set was made in 2000 and for Kit's Care and Share Party Event, I decided to do some research. I found out that Kit's Care and Share Party was to promote Kit's release when she first came out in 2000! They had the event in Cincinnati at the Union Terminal and other states too! This article about the party event is really neat: http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2000/08/22/loc_american_girls_books.html

 

Kit really loves her basket and beautiful paper flowers! Thank you so much Lacey!!

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures! :)
