How Can I Help You?
I'm putting together business goals for 2010. I've gone back over my blog to see what was good and what needs improvement and I can see a lot of room for growth. But the biggest question I need to ask is how can I help you? What is it that you would look for from a doll clothing and accessory company? Would you like to see sales? Is there something you would like to see in the product line? How do you like this blog and what would you like to see here?
I'm really interested in your input so please drop me a line!
In the meantime, I'm wishing those who celebrate a wonderful Christmas and to all the Happiest of New Year's!!
Love and Blessings!

Madame Alexander is Coming to Emily Rose!!!
Here are a few that will be available:
They probably won't be here in time for the Holidays which is too bad!
If you can't wait until then, you can get the older versions from Toys R Us, Sears and Costco (Holiday Season only, not available online).
One thing that Emily Rose Doll Clothes does not have is matching outfits for your little girl and American Girl doll or similar 18"dolls. However, there are several companies that do and they are too too cute! Burlington Coat Factory has a line but I don't know the name. Sears and Kohl's just introduced their Dollie & Me line.
Happy Shopping!
Love and Blessings!
Margaret
New Outfits!!!
My favorites are the Jeans and t-shirts basics... what doll doesn't need variety???
The Cherry Cheerleader outfit (mostly because it comes with panties):
And of course the Holiday Plaid Dress and Purse because I love anything Christmassy!:
Of course, you would love to see all of them so check them out here!
Now if you made it this far, I can't let you go without sweetening the deal for you a bit! Emily Rose has kindly offered a FREE Shipping code for any orders over $40!! Woohoo! So you can get all of the outfits you want and pay NO shipping (clothes only and one item must be from New Arrivals, no furniture is included in this sale.)!!! Just enter the code "NEWARR" when you are checking out to get the free shipping! Now hurry over to the store, this offer ends on Wednesday (11/18)!!
Don't forget to sign up for coupons on my side bar so you can get these offers directly to your email!

So what does your child have on their list?

Mimi's Corner - October 24
It's Mimi. I haven't posted in a while because I have been busy with school and piano. And my brother is in a play so my mom has been driving around a lot!
Yesterday, I had a Girl Scout meeting and we decorated pumpkins. Last night, I cut open the pumpkin and found lots of seeds. This morning I put the seeds in the oven and I baked them. After that I put some salt on them and they tasted so good!
A few weeks ago, we went to a Girl Scout event. Only three of us went even though we have eight girls.
First Mr. Ferry from Happily Ever After in Philadelphia told us about owning a toy shop.
Then Ms. Starr told us about fixing and cleaning dolls.
Also, there was a doll museum by my mom's doll club and we also did stations. The first station was making a paper doll. The paper doll could look like you and that's how I made mine. The next station was to make a scrapbook about the doll museum. Next we took a picture with our dolls and all my friends looked beautiful. Then we made Snappy dolls. The Snappy dolls are dolls you can make all by yourself. You can mix and match skin tones like pink and blue and purple, or regular skin tones. Later, we had snack and watched a movie called Bluette goes to Paris. After the snack (but the movie was still on) we colored pictures again. Finally, we did door prizes. Unfortunately, my friend N, forgot to enter the door prizes!!! But my other friend J, won a porcelain doll and I won a wooden doll highchair. It was so fun! Then it was over and we went home!
Have a great day! (and thanks for the pictures Mom!)

Emily Rose Store Problem
Thanks for your patience!
This Week Around the Doll World 10/20
A lot of people are asking about less expensive alternatives to the American Girl Doll, dolls that can still fit our Emily Rose Doll Clothes. Here is a list of some dolls that we found that can fit our clothes:
Our Generation at Target
Madame Alexander at Toys R Us and Costco (but they are not online right now)
B-Girlz at Sam's Club
Newly Discovered Doll Artist - Wendy Frank - My friend Nay let me know about a doll artist from Australia. She makes the most unique dolls! Here is a picture of the one that Nay got:
Isn't she sweet? You can read more about her and how she was made here!
Did you know that Disney has a new princess on the block??? Tiana from Disney's The Princess and the Frog is now on toy store shelves and she is a beauty! There are several versions but here are my favorites:
Just One Kiss
The "regular Princess Tiana
And the Toddler Princess Tiana
She is just too sweet for words!
My daughter and I are excited to see the movie when it comes out later this year!
Jailbreak Toys just released a new doll of the first lady Michelle Obama. I don't like it at all, it's too cartoonish! Anyway if you would like to read one of the articles about the doll, here is a link to the New York Times. I like the one at Danbury Mint much better!

Around the Doll World Part II
This is the first time I had to sit down and finish my News Around the Doll World. There's a lot to talk about this week.
I mentioned the Avon Dolls last week, then I found out Sears is also coming out with a line of 18" dolls. Yaay! More dolls to dress. Here is a link to the cuties! This one is my favorite!
I'm pretty sure these are Madame Alexander dolls but I'll have to check when I go to the store. I wonder if Kmart will have them as well since they are essentially Sears?
Great news on the Emily Rose at Home NJ front. We will soon be offering paper doll parties!! I think paper dolls are so fun for the attendees and they will get to cut and color their own dolls. More details will be coming soon!!
Hope you enjoyed News Around the Doll World!

Tuesday Around the Doll World - 10/6
You know how something catches your attention and you know it's special but you are not quite sure why? Well that's how I felt when I first came across Faith's dolls. I saw this little cutie in a red hat, her name is Lisa:
Here is what Faith Shared with me:
"One of the things I do with my dolls that isn't really heard of is make inner child dolls for African-American children in therapy. Therapy includes physical and emotional therapy. I've made several, some are posted in my doll gallery but others are not. If the person chooses not to have their therapy doll posted I don't. I respect their privacy. The other thing is this, each doll is hand sewn not machine sewn. The faces are hand painted, the hair chosen carefully to fit the desired look and the outfit is chosen carefully. I actually have a wardrobe for future dolls. The amount of thought that goes into each doll is extensive. I thoroughly enjoy making them. The doll you asked about is doll number 16. She's got big brown eyes with a tad bit of gold above them. Her hair is in three pony tails which is a standard black hair style for little girls. She's got little black shoes and a sweet dress. I think the addition that makes her stand out is the red beret. She's currently sitting on my shelf with my personal doll collection (I'm a collector myself) as she waits for a new home. "
I don't know if these are therapy dolls but here are more of her beautiful dolls:
What a wonderful service to these young children that need a physical source of comfort. And please please please take a stroll through her gallery! She is obviously a multitalented artist! There are several of her paintings that I have to get prints of!! If you read Faith's About Me page you'll know as I have learned what a extraordinary giving person she is. I don't know her at all... but I do. I know that she has taken her own hurts and pains and poured herself into helping others heal. God Bless you Faith and thank you for allowing me to write about you and your dolls!
**** Pictures used are with the permission of the artist!****
Outfit of the Week 10/5 (or thereabouts)
I wanted to make sure I shared with you the outfit of the week. This one is just SO SO cute!! I don't know about where you are but the cold weather just came in so fast for us. Jasmine was thrilled because it was cool enough to wear her new Varsity Star Outfit (link):
The jacket is made in traditional fashion with white "leather" sleeves. My tomboy Jazzy just loves it, especially since her varsity letter is sewn on the back:
Doesn't she look cute?!? The outfit also comes with her jeans and a short sleeved white top to wear underneath the jacket. Her "kicks" are also available in our Emily Rose Store.
Enjoy and be blessed!

Monday Outfit of the Week!
Now for the outfit of the week. I have to say I fell in love with this dress the minute I saw it. It's a beautiful pink satin gown with a lace overlay. The overlay has such gorgeous flowers embroidered into it! Anyway, they say a picture is worth a thousand words so here is Ginger modeling the embroidered bow dress
Isn't it gorgeous. Ginger looks like she's going to a party or a prom! Here's a close up of the beautiful detail!
And the back view with the gorgeous sash!
I matched this dress up with these adorable pink bow shoes!
I know you will love this dress as much as I do! Oh and it washes really easy, we had an incident with red juice. I washed it in cold water with a touch of dish detergent, rinsed it really well and laid it flat to dry. No sign of the juice!!
Have a blessed day!

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

Tuesday Around the Doll World - 9/8
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!
ALL PHOTO RIGHTS BELONG TO POTTERY BARN KIDS AND MATTEL
Check out the article here.
That's all the collecting news I have for this week, I hope you enjoyed!

It was the first day of school today so I'm running a little behind!!
First I have the beautiful Passion, "daughter" of Debbie Garrett. She's modeling the beautiful Butterfly Skirt and Vest which is available in our Emily Rose store.
Isn't she the cutest!!
Next we have the newest on the Barbie Scene. Barbie is introducing what they call the Fashionista line. These funky fresh dolls even have their own video!! Don't you want to learn to do the Barbie???
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!
Last but not least, I came across this ADORABLE book and doll set at Dollmaker's Delight This is a perfect set for a little one just getting introduced to dolls!
That's all for today! Have a blessed week!

Monday Outfit of the Week - Sports Time
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!
