American Girl Doll Suitcase Dollhouses!

I just have to share this with all of you!! It's an amazing idea by a lady named Marsha Clements. Ms. Clements makes Doll Cases for American Girl dolls out of an ordinary item...Suitcases! They are absolutely beautiful! Ms. Clements is an artist, and hand-paints each Doll Case. She makes all kinds of Doll Cases, but I really like her Historical ones. Here are a few pictures of her Historical Doll Cases...

This one is for Josefina, and it's the front of the Suitcase. Isn't it beautiful?! :D

When you open the suitcase, it becomes a room for an American Girl doll! I love the little mirror on the other side of the suitcase. The suitcase can act as a carrying case, a closet to store clothes, and a bedroom!

The front of the suitcase can be a place for an American Girl Doll to play outdoors too! :)

 

Here's another one of her Doll Cases, a Victorian one for Samantha!

I love the inside of this one! The painted base and pitcher are so pretty! It's the perfect bedroom for Samantha! :)

 

These are just a few pictures of the doll cases she makes. You can see even more pictures of them at her Flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgclgc/

You can also find out more on how to buy one her doll cases at her website here: http://marshaclementsart.com/category/doll-cases/

I hope you enjoyed seeing Ms. Clements' American Girl Doll cases as much as I did! :)

The Site of the New American Girl Place in Kansas City!

Lately, American Girl has been trying to put new American Girl Place stores in a lot of different states. The next destination to have an American Girl Place is going to be...Kansas City!

My friend Sadie was able to take pictures of the American Girl Place construction site at Oak Park Mall! It's where they are building the new American Girl Place in Kansas city! She posted the pictures on Her Blog, and she was happy to share them with us too! Thank you SO much Sadie, you are awesome! :)

Here are a few of the pictures that she took:

Here's the front of the store already built! They still need to build the inside though, which is the best part of American Girl Place! :)

Inside of the Mall is a Coming Soon sign where the American Girl Place will be! It says the American Girl Place will be done in the Fall! :D

You can see more pictures of the site on Sadie's Blog! You can go to it by clicking this link: http://rue18.livejournal.com/4828.html. Her blog is awesome, be sure to go check it out!

Isn't this exciting?! Going to an American Girl Place is so much fun! What American Girl Place(s) have you been too? What's your favorite part of going to an American Girl Place?

Ps~ I wanted to make it clear that the Kansas City American Girl Place is going to be in Kansas, not the Kansas City in Missouri. I got confused about this, and didn't want you all to be confused either!  :)
