This past spring, I had purchased our first American Girl doll to add to our collection. She was a previously loved historical Elizabeth that I found for a great price on eBay. Since then, we've been fortunate to add a few more to our collection, and I've been a little behind on getting them up on the blog.
Since then we've added BF Samantha, original historical Julie, BF Caroline and the Truly Me #59 I purchased from Jill's Deals and Steals.
After we received Elizabeth, I had an idea for a custom project I wanted to try (and by custom, I really just mean new wigs, lol) and I wanted to find two more Josefina molds with blue eyes.
This little cutie pie caught my eye on eBay for such a great price (probably because her hair was cut) and I scooped her right up! Her owner was a teenage girl and she was very well taken care of. She's another Historical Elizabeth and I found her little bob absolutely adorable. I plan on changing her wig eventually, but for now she's a great AG doll that I can actually let the girls to play with. Her hair is perfect for the slightly rougher play they give her.
I can't really bring myself to change her wig yet, so Lucy will probably be sticking around for a while.
I hope you all have a great week and thank you all for always taking the time to leave such nice comments on my posts. I know we all read a ton of different blogs and it can be tiring to keep up, but your comments and being able to "chit-chat" about all of our different dolls, toys and every day life here on blog land are part of what makes this experience so fun! I love seeing everyone's collections and projects and it's so inspiring.
See you all soon.
Farrah xoxo

She likes cats and we call her Lucy. :)

Lucy is very cute! Her hair-do is very pretty and gives her a sweet look, I really like it this way. You have a great collection of AG dolls Farrah! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda..yes, it's grown quite a bit since the Spring. Eeeck! I am hoping to get one more before the year is over (the Girl of the Year-Grace) but I must admit, space is becoming an issue! I sort of wish I didn't like SO MANY different doll lines and I think I am getting to the point where I may start selling some of the ones I don't completely love. I want this to be a fun, but not overwhelming hobby so I have to find a good balance! :) xoxo
DeleteHello Farrah Lily,
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely. I also adore the wig. It is such a nice length on her.
Big hug,
Giac
Thank you, Giac...yes, it's such a nice length, I agree!
DeleteBig hug back :)
Lucy is absolutely adorable! I love her hair!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Halo...I do too! :)
DeleteYou're building quite the AG army! :)
ReplyDeleteThat hair cut really suits her - it's adorable on her, and it (at least to me) disguises her Elizabeth-ness almost completely.
An army of AG dolls...I should still them all in the cornfield and take some creepy photos, lol :) I agree with you on the disguise of the actual Elizabeth character. She must've straightened out those side curls and I think it looks so cute!
DeleteShe's pretty, this is my favourite face sculpt of all the AG dolls and I like her hair this length, it's more child-like.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of her are lovely, don't you just love photos of dolls taken in the open air!
Big hugs Sharon x
Hi Sharon, I agree...this is my favorite sculpt for AG as well. Yes, I love taking open air photos! Lighting is so much better. :)
DeleteBig hugs back :)
I think she is very cute with the shorter hair, very trendy! So happy to hear you got a deal on her too, sometimes those dolls can be abused and damaged. I've been pretty fortunate with the ones I've bought off Ebay, Abby only had hair issues and I knew that going in to it, so it wasn't a big deal.
ReplyDeleteI agree! She's so cute with the bob. I was so glad everything else was in great shape. I've noticed you've scored some pretty great dolls on eBay so far!
DeleteHi Farrah, she's absolutely beautiful! I can understand why you don't want to change her hair, she looks perfect
ReplyDeleteThank you, Billa! She is really cute, isn't she :)
DeleteElizabeth is one of my favorites (we have 2 now ha!) I love your Elizabeth's cropped do! so cute!
