Angela’s Collection – Influential Dolls – Classics Aurora
So sorry for the long delay between posts! We’ve been in the middle of the move Bay talked about in her interruption to Kate’s message. On that note, here’s part two of my most influential dolls series – Disney Classic Sleeping Beauty Aurora doll circa 1990.

Hello there. I know we’ve only met maybe twice before…my name’s Kate and I’m the one who makes sure all my friends are doing alright mentally. I’m sworn to secrecy about what they tell me in session, but I can tell you things aren’t always as easy as we make them look here on the blog.
(more…)Angela’s Collection – Influential Dolls – Hot Skatin’ Barbie
Hello everyone! Angela here, with another one of my long and somewhat random posts. This time I thought I’d give you another look into my doll collection. But this time, I’m going to do it as a series of posts spotlighting the dolls who have most influenced my collection/me as a collector.
And today, we’re going to start with an old friend from my childhood. I was roughly two years old when Hot Skatin’ barbie came out in 1994 and I don’t remember where or when I got her, but she was my first articulated Barbie.

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.
(more…)Bay’s Field Trip – Girl AGain!!!
Hey all! So, today was an interesting day and since this doesn’t really fit under anyone else’s parts of the blog yet, I’ll do it myself. We went on a dolly road trip today! Two and a half hours in the car each way to visit Girl AGain!
Girl AGain Boutique is an American Girl boutique in White Plains, New York…all of the dolls there are donated, each one hand cleaned and refurbished by the girls of Yes She Can. It’s part of a program that helps girls with autism learn workplace skills and the profit made on the dolls goes back into the program.
