The date is Saturday, May 5. Let me know if you'd like more information via an invitation in the mail for your daughter, niece, granddaughter, or friend. Send mailing information to arvg@comcast.net.<br /><br />There will be sweet treats, a photo station, little gifts, a drawing for a special summer outfit. You can also shop for doll clothes to fit American Girl and other 18-inch dolls! Hope to see you there!<br /><br />Collared tea dress $22<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YVGd2vnVnaM/T1TLVWbYK6I/AAAAAAAAA5k/PVqD-KDfP4U/s1600/P1000017.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YVGd2vnVnaM/T1TLVWbYK6I/AAAAAAAAA5k/PVqD-KDfP4U/s400/P1000017.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716417394698103714" /></a><br /><br />Ruffled dress (from Liberty Jane Pattern) $22<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wkLYpQNJFnk/T1I5p716NiI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/kBh1GEWbaPQ/s1600/P1080429.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wkLYpQNJFnk/T1I5p716NiI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/kBh1GEWbaPQ/s400/P1080429.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715694269687805474" /></a><br /><br />Polka dot tea dress ($18)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AMdBMz7kQQA/T0uRdcgBv8I/AAAAAAAAA5M/uTTopLL9MhU/s1600/P1080418.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AMdBMz7kQQA/T0uRdcgBv8I/AAAAAAAAA5M/uTTopLL9MhU/s400/P1080418.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713820487302365122" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6176636346983281799-3192556023962174438?l=bobbinalong.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16340974485115963551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176636346983281799.post-44374310780283812232012-02-20T11:19:00.003-08:002012-02-27T16:54:50.786-08:00It's been a busy winter, but I'm looking forward to sewing more spring and summer outfits for 18-inch dolls.<br /><br />Wrap front tea dress with matching headband $22<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bdzCLYEE-9Y/T0KdLodqNnI/AAAAAAAAA4k/H5aTbNKKUnE/s1600/P1080405.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bdzCLYEE-9Y/T0KdLodqNnI/AAAAAAAAA4k/H5aTbNKKUnE/s400/P1080405.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711300100625151602" /></a><br /><br />Summer ruffled top with white leggings (Top from Liberty Jane pattern) $22 for both<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-houCriRDV9E/T0KdLZ1uiSI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/cuqhaeqxFLw/s1600/P1080406.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-houCriRDV9E/T0KdLZ1uiSI/AAAAAAAAA4Y/cuqhaeqxFLw/s400/P1080406.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711300096699566370" /></a><br /><br />I am also happy to do special orders.

Our family has six birthdays to celebrate between now and the end of February. Throw Valentines' Day into the mix, and we should see at least one new American Girl doll join the family!<br /><br />Does someone you know have a new 18-inch doll they received for Christmas? Are there birthday celebrations for a niece, granddaughter, or daughter on the horizon? How about a gift for Valentines' Day?<br /><br />Here are a few suggestions for the girl on your gift list:<br /><br />Pink leggings, shirt, and gray ruffled skirt (Set $30) Shoes not included*<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2JHFb8HLKtE/TxrewFqUTMI/AAAAAAAAA2s/_zRJ5wk3JbQ/s1600/P1080356.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2JHFb8HLKtE/TxrewFqUTMI/AAAAAAAAA2s/_zRJ5wk3JbQ/s400/P1080356.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700113196125539522" /></a><br />For stepping out on the town--six layer ruffled skirt, white knit shirt, and crop jacket (Set $40)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJnPbNtIj9I/Txrext_7eOI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/IOLzU0vzsWk/s1600/P1080352.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJnPbNtIj9I/Txrext_7eOI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/IOLzU0vzsWk/s400/P1080352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700113224133474530" /></a><br />Who doesn't love polka dots?
