Friday's Inspiration

This week I thought this was the appropriate day to share inspiration. In the face of trial, in times of challenge, in the midst of our sorrow, it serves well to remember...

Our God reigns over the heavens
Over the earth, Our God reigns
Praise His name, All still standing
All that was, all that remains
Our God reigns

From the song Our God Reigns by Brandon Heath

Outfit of the week 9/7 - Pink Camo PJ's

Hi everyone,

The reason this is late is because I had a very hard time waking up my sleepy-head Addy!! But here she is in her Camo Pink PJ's. Her favorite PJ set also includes a sweet Teddy Bear!



Pink Camo is not your thing? How about Pink Leopard PJ's! Your doll will feel like she's sleeping in luxury with these great PJ's!



These Satiny PJ's have the most adorable matching robe!



If you are looking for a sweet sleep, how about the Tank Heart PJ's covered in tiny hearts!



Of course there are many more beautiful PJ outfits at our website store!

Tuesday Around the Doll World - 9/8

Okay I know this is a day late but I'm trying to get back on track!

When you are a doll collector, I think it is important to understand a history of dolls. That is one of the main reasons I joined a local doll club, I wanted to find out more about the types of dolls I collect as well as other historically important facts about dolls in general. That's why I was so excited when I found Elizabeth Almeida. Her in depth articles are so wonderfully written and full of information. Set aside some time and read some of her articles. You won't be disappointed:

NY Doll Collecting Examiner

Another examiner writer highlighted the Pottery Barn 50th Anniversary barbies. They are so cute!

That's all the collecting news I have for this week, I hope you enjoyed!

Thursday Inspiration (a day late)

I was doing some reading this morning and I came across this quote:

" How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all those."
George Washington Carver

Definitely words to consider!!

No Story today!

My daughter and I just didn't find the time with school starting this week. We will be back next week!

The Barbie® Official Music Video 2009 (thanks to Vanessa for the head's up!)

Very interesting video for sure. The dolls are kind of cute, check out the Chicago Toy Examiner for detailed info!

You know with school starting, our 18 inch girls need to look their best. Check out the Doll*Clothes Patterns for simple instructions on making your girls the most adorable headbands!! I think even I can make these! LOL!

Monday Outfit of the Week - Sports Time

Hi all,

Aggie is back with the outfit of the week. This time she has her soccer bag and ball as well. This is a cute fleece outfit that will stand up to rugged play. It fits 18" inch dolls like the American Girl Doll, Madamae Alexander, and also some 21 inch dolls like the Karito Kids. This particular outfit will also fit the American Girl Bitty baby and similar sized dolls.



Does your doll like to exercise rather than play soccer? She will look adorable in this Yoga Outfit that is available at our Emily Rose Store:



Or maybe she's the martial arts kind of girl. She'll be right at home in our Karate Kicks outfit!



Whatever her sport make sure she's dressed in the best!
