American Doll Clothes Co. Tour

    Hello lovelies! Happy December to you all!

   Remember how I mentioned a couple weeks ago that my dad took me to the doll clothing store I'm always raving about? Well here is a little pictorial tour for your enjoyment!

The cute little sign out front :)

The clothes are all made by the owner and are of lovely quality.

There was a little raffle on the day we went. Isn't that Snow Queen dress just beautiful?!

Look! Elizabeth's Tea Gown!

All the lovely models :)

One wall is covered in historical character outfits (my favourite part).

Bright tops and t-shirts...

Lots of tiny socks and tights.

Cute skirts and pants :)

The shoes are from Sophia's and are adorable! Check out those boots!

All kinds of sweet hats...

Purses, glasses and other sweet treats for your doll to play with!

There is a wide variety of dresses similar to those of your favourite princess!

Don't forget about Bitty Baby! Tons of cute things for the Bitties to where!

Oh, and take a look at her lovely Christmas tree!

The ornaments are the American Girl Dolls!

Pretty neat, hm?

  It's always such a neat shop to visit because there is always something new to check out! If you ever get the chance, you should definitely take a look.  Or you could visit Mrs. Hagstrom's Facebook page and website.

  One last thing, since I love all you girls so much, I got something special for you while I was there. You could call it a Christmas present ;) I plan on posting it tomorrow, so make sure you come check it out!

Remembering L. M. Montgomery

    Happy birthday to one of my most favourite authors EVER! 

Lucy Maud Montgomery

      She penned the Anne of Green Gables series, Emily of New Moon series, and The Story Girl (just to name few;) I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favourite quotes with you, as I'm sure you've seen them popping up here and there already!   (all photos courtesy of Pinterest)

     Now that I've gotten that out, have you read any of her books?  Which one is your favourite? Seriously, I'd love to know!

All Saints Day 2015

Hello there!  Whew! November? All ready? It sure snuck up on me this year! Happy-Day-After -Thanksgiving! (because that's totally a legitimate holiday :)

Anyways. Here are my dolls' costumes for All Saints Day (which was Nov. 1. don't laugh)

Lily dressed up as St. Bernadette 

                             St. Bernadette was a little French girl from Lourdes, France. When she

                           was fourteen years old, Our Lady appeared to her in a grotto (a niche in 

                           a rock) and gave her a very important message for the whole world.

You can read more about Saint Bernadette here.

Here we have Bridget dressed as St. Elizabeth of Hungary.

Fun Fact: I took her as my Confirmation saint :)

As you can see, St. Elizabeth was a Hungarian princess in the

early part of the 13th century ( High Middle Ages ).

She married the landgrave of Thuringia (Germany) and, after his 

death devoted the rest of her short life to the poor and sick, founding 

many hospitals. Read more here.

And finally, Felicity as St. Genevieve. 

Saint Genevieve lived near Paris in the 5th century.

It is said that when Attila and his Huns threatened to overtake

Paris, she encouraged the people to fast and pray. Thus, Paris was 

saved and she is now known as its patroness. 

More on this brave saint here.

  So, did you have a favourite costume? I think mine is Bridget's, but its hard to decide ;)

  Did all of you American readers have a nice Thanksgiving?  I can't believe its that time of year again! I mean, Christmas was last year, wasn't it? Well, there are lots of fun things to look forward to!
Tomorrow is my family's annual "Wreath Making" party at my grandparents house.  Everyone goes out into the woods and picks greens (pine, spruce, laurel, berries and, if it's a good year, Princess Pine!) So much fun!

  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
