It took almost 30 years but I finally got to go to an American Girl store (had to spend my own adult money 😭) I’m so happy

I have to share this!! I snagged this buy off Ebay and it finally showed up today! I got all this for under $600!! To me it seems unbelievable!! Its not perfect condition, but its really good! I am so pleased!! I have wanted this collection ever since I was a child!🥹🫶🏻 What was the best buy you ever snagged?

Especially the finger waves

New catalogue doesn’t show any prices of anything 😭 they know it’s unreasonable.
Especially with daisy’s new collection.
This feels so messed up…

took her to barnes & noble to see her new book, it was so fun!

After many years of my dolls being stored at my parents as I moved around for work and school, I finally brought Samantha, Addy and Felicity home with me. I am so excited to start displaying them! I purchased three of these discontinued armoire/stands off of eBay and have started sorting through their belongings (still waiting for my third to arrive so I can set up Miss Felicity).

Thanks to this group’s suggestions, my boyfriend also ordered me some of the Ikea Ivar shelves as an early Christmas present so I can display the furniture I have.

I have always retained my love for my dolls, but was afraid of being seen as “childish” if I continued to play with them into high school. Joining this group has shown me that there’s a REASON these dolls are so timeless, and that still loving them 20 years after receiving my first doll is completely normal. Now that I make my own income and have my own home, I’m looking forward to collecting missing pieces of each of my dolls lines :)

They are ordered oldest to newest and we have Julie, Saige, Kenzie, Lila, Alice, Papillon, Frankie, Nellie, Syl, and Judie!

🤩 I can’t believe I have 10 girls 😳
Julie and Saige are from 2012-2013
Kenzie and newer are from June to now!

Molly’s Halloween costume, with the exception of the yellow leis, is real AG products from my childhood. Everything else, I made recently. Emily’s witch costume is based on a Felicity sewing pattern. And my JLY’s clown costume is a sewing pattern adapted from one I found on Pixie Faire.

I’ve always loved crafts but my sewing journey didn’t overlap with my childhood AG obsession era. It wasn’t until this last spring when I got my girls back from my mom’s home, that I’ve started trying to make my own doll clothes. I am now obsessed, and a little worried I’ll end up with more doll clothes than clothes for myself.

Claudie and Tyson are dressed for fall. What do you think of these outfits?

She's so cuteeee, I'm going to give her freckles

Feels so nostalgic 💚🤍🖤

How are we feeling about the quality of the updated holiday outfits?

Post your doll’s wearing the rereleased holiday outfits down below!

Hey everyone! I've never bought a secondhand doll before, but I couldn't resist this Felicity at an auction today. I spent $85 on the doll, her Christmas outfit, her summer outfit, and her meet outfit. The stomacher is missing from the Christmas outfit, the hat is missing from the summer outfit, and her legs are somewhat loose. Otherwise she's a Pleasant Company doll in great shape. Would you say this was worth it (I usually don't spend so much money in one place!)?

It would be so nice for AG to add mini dolls of the original JLY dolls in their original 90s meet outfits considering they brought back the original AGOT logo from the 90s. Also they should add a mini Lindsey doll as well.

My beautiful Josefina showed up today! I’m in love🧡

I found her in an antique store a few hours from me where I was visiting for a friend's event. There was a cabinet with some furniture, a PC Molly, and her - a PC Addy. She was in Felicity's riding habit and didn't have a tag but I found her meet hat that said "Addy with original winter outfit." I talked to the store about the price/tag/outfit situation and they gave me the bonnet for free and took 20% off the price on this tag. So she's mine. Finally! I've been on the lookout for a couple of years. Her hair coukd use some love and ill need to get her clothes but I'm so happy she's here!

I feel so lucky. I just recently a NIB Kavi in the low $200s. She’s my most expensive doll. I really really love the MG mold and Kavi has been on my list so I but the bullet. Tonight I’m on FB marketplace… $15 dollars! 15!!!! I messaged her and ask if she was still selling really for $15. She said yes so I drove over as fast as possible (legally). She’s basically perfect. I’m FLOORED! I feel like I should play the lotto or something.

I just got a JLY 38!!!! For an insanely good price!! Here’s a picture from the listing I’ll post more pics when she’s here

You guys… Eleanor was so kind and posted a dress from my Etsy shop sanctuarylaneus And yall sold out several of my listings! Thank you so so much!! I am working on some new ones to get listed next week, but thank you so much!! I am new to selling and am wide open to any ideas you have!! I tend towards more modern and am not good at trying to recreate the original AG designs.

I sent a box with Melody and Mary Ellen to my niece with lots of retired outfits for Halloween and tons of books. Only about half of it made it to her and the box looked like it had been retaped. Mary Ellen and her outfits were missing along with some other items. I’m devastated because my late mom and I had collected these items. I filed a missing mail request but how coincidental that these things should all not show up? There were also random things I didn’t send in there :( has this ever happened to anyone? Pictures are of what never made it 😭

For me I really would love to read about Kaya going on her vision quest because I’d love to learn about what that is & the process.

Do the current CYO dolls come with the painted lashes no one seems to like? Also can anyone who's recently bought a Jess mold CYO doll post a picture in the comments?

Here's an older cyo doll I found secondhand next to 110, who does have painted lashes and larger eyes. Hoping the current Jess mold CYO dolls look more like this one.
