I went in the Atlanta store when we were on vacation once and it's amazing. There was a doll treehouse for sale! But I still think there's something lovely about waiting for a doll to be delivered to your house. Oh, how I dreamed over that catalog...<br /><br />I loved these back in the days when it was just Felicity, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha and Molly. I still have Felicity, Kirsten, and Samantha and one of the dolls of "today" I named Julie after my mom. I guess I was spoiled because these days I realize that was a lot of $82 dolls. Where are Kirsten and Samantha on the site??? I guess they are retired?

We never made it to the Chicago one when we lived in St. Louis, but I hope to make it to the NYC one day. <br /><br />I own one of the original Kirstens. Back in the day when there were a total of 4 dolls to choose from and they had just introduced Felicity (she was #4). Every year for my birthday and Christmas, until I was about 12, my mom sewed one new outfit, and my grandmother bought one new outfit. She has quite the wardrobe now.<br /><br />She's all packed away now, but someday soon I was to take my nieces up to NYC, and of course Kirsten too!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12820458410625838584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-80641041950869746242010-05-23T16:17:45.265-07:002010-05-23T16:17:45.265-07:00From one May 22nd girl to another - Happy Birthday...From one May 22nd girl to another - Happy Birthday Halley! Believe me, you will have oodles more fun with your new BFF Kitt than you would ever have with the silly sparkle shoes that come with some ugly scented makeup.<br /><br />Note to Mom - I've seen the Lelli Kelly shoes at Marshalls sometimes for around $25. Just FYI. Never saw the stupid makeup phone with them though. Bonus! lol<br /><br />There's also a cute movie that was made a couple years ago based on the Kitt Kittridge doll, with Abigail Breslin. Yes, I'm a childless adult who has watched the movie . . . umm, I have no excuse for that so I won't make one. It's pretty well done though and has a lot of good messages in the storyline about helping others so i wanted to mention it. :-)BlackCatMimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064821442982123565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-86041318640449869472010-05-23T13:34:14.441-07:002010-05-23T13:34:14.441-07:00Oh my.

I still remember when Santa brought me the Samantha doll (now, discontinued, I think). BIG DEAL. I still have her. (and all of her outfits!)<br /><br />Hey, I'm still hoping to go to an actual American Girl store someday. <br /><br />p.s. Halley texting & sending pics?

My cupcake turned 6 last Saturday and Grandma promised to take her for lunch with Kit and Ruthie for her birthday. She's been circling Kit's treehouse in the catalogues since she was three, so the Grandparents, Great-Grands and Parental Units pooled together their birthday funds to get it for her today. Definitely the highlight of her young life. :)Sokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264249999751178513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008426604560109471.post-80016051119538168332010-05-22T21:26:13.200-07:002010-05-22T21:26:13.200-07:00What a fantastic day!
