Bay’s Field Trip – Girl AGain Pt 2!!!

As promised, I’m back with the second part of our Girl AGain visit – Who came home with us from the pretty little American Girl boutique in White Plains, New York!

We had three new friends join us this trip. Two will be staying with us and the third will be going to live with a friend of ours when we fly out toward Washington State in a couple of weeks to spend some time with her.

Our first new friend is this Mini Emily doll, she stands six inches tall and she came with her original little blue and red dress. Her headband is just a red ribbon added after the fact since I don’t have her headband and she is missing a pair of shoes but that’s nothing we can’t fix with a Lori or mini-OG fashion pack from Target, if need be.

Emily came home with us as a companion for our mini Molly (and because finding a mini Emily in any condition for purchase online can be a right pain in the rear end…she finishes our set of Molly and Emily since we do have both full size dolls and now both minis).

Our second new friend is Kirsten. Our Pleasant Company Kirsten was one of two on display at Girl AGain and aside from dry hair as dolls from the early years of American Girl are frequently known to have (and nothing we can’t handle with a little clever styling) She’s in beautiful shape, complete with her meet dress, apron, underthings, socks and her little leather shoes. The only thing missing was her hair ribbons for her braids and I happened to have a scrap of blue ribbon the same shade as her dress to replace those with!

Kirsten joined us for a couple of reasons – We already had the Pleasant Company edition Molly and Samantha, followed up by Felicity, Josefina and an early edition Kit – We’re only missing Addy in our set of the “original” Historical girls. And the second reason goes with some friends – You haven’t met Tasha yet, but Kit is her doll and Kirsten belonged to her mother. In her world, the two are fast friends despite being from different centuries.

Our third new friend is Girl of the Year 2012, McKenna. She’s in her full Meet outfit down to the bow in her hair and her pretty little purple strapped flats. Aside from some dry ends in her hair, miss McKenna is in beautiful condition. And she will be joining our friend in Washington State when we fly over to visit her at the end of this week.

She fits into the story with Dusty and Maddie’s little girl. Meaghan owns McKenna and Caroline both, but we could only bring one of them home and we chose McKenna this time. Isn’t she sweet? Our friend will just love her!

So – Those are our new friends from Girl AGain! And we do wish we had time for another trip out to White Plains to have another look around and perhaps bring home another friend or two for our collection of American Girls.
