American Girl Mini Caroline

Back in 2015, I started my American Girl doll collection.  One of the first mini dolls I bought, was this tiny little Caroline.  I've had these photos of her on my computer for ages and a post sitting in draft form for just as long, so here we go.  Getting things done!  Whoo hoo! :)

This Caroline was from the "older style" mini dolls that came with a rounder face and cloth body. 

Caroline has since been retired, but I always really liked her long, curly blonde hair and striking aqua colored eyes. 

These mini dolls stand at about 6 inches tall, making them tiny compared to their 18-inch counterparts. Despite their small size, I really think American Girl did such a great job in replicating their outfits.  (Look at that embroidery on her dress!)

Here's what her body looks like underneath and she's an exact mini-version of the regular doll. I love miniatures of miniatures, so I really appreciate this detail!

Caroline's hair is a little unruly and "Hermoine"ish, but I'm sure it can be fixed.  To be honest, as these dolls still get routinely played with by my 6 year old, it's still pointless to "fix" her hair up. :)

Here's just a few fun photos I took of her when I was out and about on a walk.
Taking photos of dolls always makes me love them even more!

She's cutie and a keeper for sure.
I know a lot of you collect the 18 inch playscale line, but do you also collect any of the mini-dolls?
There are still a few on my list I hope to add some day such as Rebecca and Addy (old versions), and Nanea, Gabriella, Kirsten, and Molly (new ones.)
Their just so cute and easy to store!

Hoping to catch up on all of your posts as well.  Even though I haven't been quite as active on here, I am still very much into dolls and collecting.  I have so much to share, but sometimes struggle with organizing what I want to do first. :)

Otherwise, hope you're all doing well and "see you" in the next post!

Little Marie-Grace and the Lillies of the Valley (American Girl Mini Doll)

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for your amazing and kind feedback on my "Messy Doll Room" post.  Your support and advice means so much to me!

The only change I've done so far is get rid of the couch, added a white bookshelf, cleaned up the floors and bought some white paint to brighten up the room. 

As the weather warms up (we're having a terribly chilly spring so far!) I hope to get the walls painted before I start setting up shelves. :)

I'll keep you all posted!

A few years ago, I picked up mini Marie-Grace from the American Girl doll line.  She was one of my first mini dolls and I have always loved the 18 inch version of her, but she was retired by the time my AG radar was turned on so I don't currently own her.

I really enjoy these mini dolls because they're so easy to cart along for on-the-go photo shoots.
I love how they are tiny little replicas of their larger doll counterparts.

Her hair is extremely soft and silky.  I love the tiny braids. 

She looks super cute in her forest of lilys-of-the-valley. 

These tiny little flowers smell SO GOOD! 

Do any of you have Marie Grace or any other AG minis?
One of my favorite Instagram accounts that has a lot of AG mini photography is: @pawsonkeys

On another note, after 6 months of winter, I am in love with all of this GREEN. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week. My brother and sister-in-law are visiting from Florida with their 2 month old baby (my first nephew!) this week so I'm excited to get my "baby-fix".  The girls are very excited to meet their new cousin. :)

Until next time!

Little Julie and the Crabapple Tree (American Girl Mini Julie doll)

One spring morning, beautiful little Julie decided to take a stroll through the dandelions to see what new things were growing.   Being at nearly ground level, she found it exceptionally easy to spot new blossums and sprouts.

As she meandered along, lost in her thoughts, she felt a sudden inspiration to see if she could climb up the freshly blossomed crabapple tree across the lawn!

It took her nearly all morning, but she finally made it across the lawn to the tree. 

Without ropes or climbing gear, she surprisingly clawed her way up the bark until she found a nice branch to perch on. Girls from the 70s are tough, you know. :)

As she sat and caught her breath, she was taken aback by what a different and beautiful world it was up here!  The greens, whites and pinks were so vibrant and like nothing she'd seen before on the ground.

The fragrance of the flowers was heavenly.  Little Julie was glad she took the effort to follow her impulses and climb up that big tree as this was a day she would always remember.

I hope you are all enjoying the spring blossoms where ever you are (as I am sure my area is probably one of the last to get them!!)
