Felicity's Town Fair outfit!

Hello, all! Josefina thanks you all for the good vibes you sent her way in LMPT. She had a photo session the other day and got two rounds out of the way. She's feeling (more or less) positive about it! =)

Anyways, I'm happy to report to you all that a package came today, and in it was a present for Felicity! I'm NOT a big dress fan, but her's are very pretty anyways. Miss Lissie squealed when she saw that inside the package was her Town Fair gown!




Well, it's a replica of the gown sewn especially for Bre to give to Felicity. She commissioned it from the amazingly talented Terrie of All Dolled Up. (If you haven't checked out her beautiful and affordable work, you're missing out!) This dress is just gorgeous. Lissie is so happy to have something new to wear, and also happy to have a pretty new mob cap (since she only has two and they don't coordinate well with everything).



For fun, Lissie went out with Addy and they modeled their straw hats. =)



And in other (me related) news, I'm in The Doll Wardrobe's photo contest! It'd really help me out if you'd consider voting for me! I'm photo 11, and the information on how to vote is on the link above. Thanks!

A bit of news!

Hello, all! I'm back, loves, and I've got a bit of news! =)


I probably hadn't mentioned this on this blog (what with my 85 year absence...), but Josefina lives here now! And she is... so... BEAUTIFUL! She's really nice, too, so I don't even feel right being jealous.





Anyways, to make her feel accepted and special, Bre has allowed her to enter the Little Miss Playthings contest this year! Believe it or nor, this is Bre's first time entering, and she and Josefina are both really excited. Considering the fact that she had planned to enter me, I should be upset... but c'mon... a beauty contest is hardly my scene. (Even if I am a little stunner... LOL, I kid, I assure you.)

And just in case you all miss seeing me, I'll share a recent pic of me!



I had a little adventure in baking. =) It looks more like I had an adventure in mess making though!

In other news, I'm out of school for the summer, so I'll try to update this blog more frequently. And as many of you know, my friend Nicki lives here in California with her grandma and spends the summers with her family in Colorado... she's leaving next week. We're throwing her a little going away party soon... I'll let you all know what happens!

Anyways, I guess that's about it for now...
Love, Wendy

100th post! Can you believe it?

Hello, dear blog friends! It is I, Wendy, your faithful blogger! I have to apologize right away for my lack of posts. Knowing that this was going to be my 100th, I wanted to do something special for it... I wanted to wait until I had a sensational idea, big news, or both. But the truth is, as time wore on and I concentrated more, I decided that I should do something sort of introspective and commemorative. (And I'll try not to hurt my arm patting myself on the back, lol.)

My first post ever was written on January 2, 2009. If you weren't reading my blog way back then, or you don't really remember what I said (and I'll be honest here... I didn't really remember myself!), you can read that post here.

When I made that post, I was much younger, and very different. I didn't really have any friends, so it was always hard for me to talk to people. Talking to you all on this blog made me feel wanted and accepted. Suddenly, there were people who thought I was cool too, and interesting enough to read about! I became more confident almost immediately. Soon after opening this blog, I met Quinn... and she's still my very best friend. We have very little in common besides the fact that we value each other and our friendship above anything else.

Since this blog began, I've met many, many dolls. Bre's collection has more than TRIPLED -- from 6 dolls in January of 2009 to her current collection of 16 AG dolls, a bitty baby, 2 Gotz dolls, 2 Journey Girls, an Our Generation doll, a Magic Attic Club doll, and a Karito Kid doll, not to mention an Ellowyne, so many Barbies and friends that it's best not to count, and miscellaneous other "shelf" dolls. I've made friends through this blog who are just as dear to me as the dolls who live here, and I've met two of them in person... maybe I'll meet more soon!

I'm a more adventurous person than I used to be... specifically where fashion is concerned! I've grown to appreciate the talent it takes to create quality handmade AG clothes... and I've also grown to appreciate the beauty of historical clothes.

This blog has helped me learn and grow. I'm a bigger and better person because of it. I know more about fashion, style, photography, all of you, and most of all, myself. For this, the experience has been priceless.

I plan to update this blog much more regularly now. I want this blog to rise from it's own ashes... like a phoenix of prose and art. My goal is to continue growing and learning, and to entertain as much as possible. Thank you all for being a part of this with me!

Love Always,
Wendy M. Stein and Bre, AKA BuckinghamAlice

Big news: me at Innerstar U!

Hey everyone! It's officially February, and I've got news. As some of you may know from facebook, I'm now a student at Innerstar U! I'm only going part time, and the rest of the time is at my old school. I'm trying to decide if transferring would be good for me. So far I really love it. I've got a dorm that I stay in while I'm at Innerstar, and there are a ton of nice people. I've already been invited to several parties!

It felt weird at first, splitting time between two schools... leaving my friends. But my teachers are supportive of my splitting time idea... in fact, they recommended the same thing for Ashley.

Hope to see some of you around campus!

I'm on Facebook!

So, up until now, Bre has said that I'm not allowed on Facebook or any site like that. She said I wasn't old enough and, knowing me, would get us all into trouble. =P But since I had a birthday last month, and I've been pretty much behaving myself, she let me make a facebook page!

You can find me here.

Any of you that have pages should totally add me! I've found a few people through Bre's page, but if you have facebook and I didn't add you, go ahead and add me!

Talk to you all soon!

Love, Wendy

Christmas pics and Felicity pics!

Sorry these are so late. I posted the album some days back, but I'm just now getting around to posting the link here. Oh well. Please enjoy!

Album is here. Comments, as always, are appreciated! Thanks!

By the way... Happy New Year!!

Meet Claudia, Stacey, and Mary Anne: 3/4 of the BSC!

As promised, I'm here to introduce you to Bre's pet project: the Baby-Sitters Club! We all adore the books (Bre grew up on them as much as AG) and she had been on a mad spell of re-reading the books. At a certain point, she decided she wanted BSC dolls. They actually made real BSC dolls in the 90s (which Bre wanted so badly at the time) but although they're 18 inches, they aren't proportioned like AG. So, that began the project we're going to show you today. I had planned to wait until I have Kristy (and probably Dawn) as well to show them, but due to finances, that will probably not be for a LOOOONG while.
