Shout-Out Your Doll Site...with Girls of Many Lands Doll Cecile!

~ One of my favorite things to do when I'm not working on my own website, is to look at other girls' doll blogs and websites! I love seeing what fun things other girls are doing with their doll(s)! So, have you done anything fun on your doll site? Share it with us! Shout out your doll site by leaving a link below of your site's name and URL address.~

When I was outside taking pictures of my Cecile American Girl Doll...my other Cecile wanted some attention too! Cecile is a Girls of Many Lands doll that was made by American Girl back in 2002 (and I found her at Goodwill). She usually stands on my bookshelf, but I thought it would be fun to take a few pictures of her!

She's around 9 inches tall, so a tad bigger than the Mini Dolls. Girls of Many Lands were a collection of eight dolls that were 12 years old and lived in a different time period in different places around the world. I wish American Girl still sold these dolls, they are so pretty!

Have you ever read any of the American Girl Girls of Many Lands Books or own any of the dolls? I'd love to know (or see, if you ever want to email doll pictures)!

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!

Girls of Many Lands Book Find!

A new Half-Priced Bookstore was built near where I live, and we got to go! The Half-Priced Bookstore, as you can tell by the name, sells books for less! I was very excited, because I love books! :)

Usually at the Half-Priced Bookstore you can find American Girl books, and this time I found--A Girls of Many Lands book!

 

The book was Isabel: Taking Wing. Girls of Many Lands was a line of books and dolls produced by American Girl in 2002. There were 8 dolls, each was a girl 12 years old and lived in a different time period in a different country.

 

Sadly, they were discontinued in 2005. I was into American Girl dolls then, so I wasn't interested in the Girls of Many Lands dolls. I wish they were around now, they seem so neat! :)

I have been reading the Isabel book I found and I love it!

 

I plan on getting the other Girls of Many Lands books at the library, I am so excited to read them! :)

Have you read any of the Girls of Many Lands books? Do you have any of the Girls of Many Lands Dolls? I would love to know! :)
