Cécile’s Parlor Set is the only piece of doll furniture I own, so I thought I’d actually photograph Marie-Grace and Cécile with it! The desk has its special place on my doll shelf, but it rarely gets used now for props due to my limited doll space.

Went to the American Girl NYC store with Slowpoke after work since AG just re-released the historical dolls Kirsten, Josefina, and Addy in their original Meet outfits and birthday outfits. For a while, I’ve been wanting Kirsten’s Birthday Outfit for Nellie. My Slowpoke thinks she looks great in it!

I was so tempted to buy a Josefina doll but… I can’t think of a way to make more space left in my room to display her.

See the cut below for the new store displays of Kirsten, Josefina, and Addy in their birthday outfits!

Does anyone know why one of my copies of The Stolen Sapphire has the portrait photo of Samantha from The Curse of Ravenscourt? I just got the book and the rest is completely normal.

Regular copy of The Stolen Sapphire is on the left. And The Curse of Ravenscourt is of the right.

I actually think it's cool, but have no clue how something like that could happen while printing.

Doll 1: Henri Arthur

This is my first doll, he was an early edition Felicity (with the soft ginger lashes) but I’d gotten the doll second hand and the original owner had cut the hair when she was a child.

This doll was gifted to me when I was either 13 or 14 and this old friend went everywhere with me. Now, I’ve cut the hair further to a more masculine hairstyle and decided he was a boy.

He looks like me at a glance but mostly cause all redheads are deemed to look alike and I’m obviously related to every redhead on earth, so yeah I look just like him /s

But in all seriousness, being my first doll and looking similar to me, he is a mini me. But he isn’t to be the only one hopefully. He is a reflection of the vintage enthusiast part of me. I collect and restore vintage clothes at times and he wears mini versions of the vintage clothes I own.

He’s the first doll I ever operated on. I had to restring his legs only like 80 times. I had to mend a hole on his torso side opposite of the tag side. I also had to sew one of his leg sockets back in place as it had started to detach from the fabric of the torso.

He’s also the first doll I ever gave a tiny plastic heart. I started this when I first got him, after the first repair. So he’s got a red plastic heart shoved down into the cotton inside his torso that’s been there since I was a child when I first put it there.

This tradition continues and now every doll who passes into my ownership gets a little plastic heart. I thought it to be a cute little idea.

Claudie’s Hair Day!

Today it is time for Claudie to get her hair done! I love her and her adorable pin curls that frame her face, but as far as American Girl and the quality of their curly wigs go, Claudie has had the worst quality curly wig out of any doll I’ve had experience with (Cécile, 58, 26, CYO, and Claudie herself). It’s not so bad that I dislike having to do her hair, but it takes me much longer to get through her hair than Cécile or my CYO, Eloise (below, she got to come up onto the historical doll shelf!) Still, I use the same methods, it’s just more time-consuming on Claudie.

Taking the opportunity to change her into her PJs, I got started! Like with other dolls with similar hair texture, I use a wire brush, a spray bottle with water, and something small I can wrap the hair around (a pen, pencil, straw, or marker work well!)

To start, you take a section of hair, spray it generously with water, and carefully brush it out, starting from the bottom, making your way to the top. Brushed out, it’ll look like the first image below. Then, you take the hair, stretch it gently, and wrap it around the pen in the natural direction of the curl (on my Claudie, her curls curl towards the left!) Gently, you’ll push it off, and you should be left with a curl.

It might take several tries to get a curl you are happy with, the one above took three for me! You can also experiment with different sized curl chunks to see what you like best. I take sections a little smaller than a centimeter wide, usually on a single wig weft.

Here’s the right side of her head, still damp. As her hair dries, it tends to shrink a little, and her curls become bouncier! If they need a little help, try scrunching them gently upwards! Now I’ll continue on to the rest of her head.

Have fun doing your doll’s hair!
