Antique Store Finds

Hi everyone! Wendy here. Something super cool happened yesterday! Bre went to a couple of antique stores with her mom and came home with doll furniture!

The first store was kind of a motherlode. She found Samantha's desk for like $20! And it's authentic. Samantha is super excited. She also found this really pretty doll crib for Noah. I like that a lot. The store also had two doll sized wicker loveseats but Bre wasn't able to get one.

Here are some pics:

All of us dolls are hoping Bre goes back again soon. =)

Love, Wendy

The Story of Bre's Dolls

Hello again people! This is Wendy... coming to you on this lovely after-holiday morning with a scheduled post. :D Today I thought that I might write a little something about each of us dolls here... something new, just for fun. =)

Addy - The first doll. Bre got her for Christmas when she was 10 -- in 1998 (wow, the year I was born!) Addy is really nice and smart... she helps us all with spelling and she's teaching me to sew.

Nicki - The second girl. Bre bought her in 2007 direct from AG. What she loved about Nicki was that she loves animals. What I love about Nicki is that she's always up for anything and is so fun.

Samantha - Bre's 20th birthday present. Samantha is really adventurous but still such a lady. She's always trying to have teas or play world explorers.

Nellie - Bre bought Nellie at AGPLA after AG announced that she and Sam were being archived. Nellie is very quiet and thoughtful... she never causes trouble.

Wendy - That's me! Be got me last year on ebay after she decided that she wanted a pre-Mattel #12. I showed up soon... it was kinda like destiny.

Quinn - Quinn is formerly a Mia doll and Bre got her for Christmas last year. She's my best friend, and she's amazing! She's sweet and cool... even though we're really different we always have fun together.

Molly - Bre got her on ebay early this year. She had a hard time fitting in for a while, but now everything is nearly perfect. She always has great ideas and is very outspoken. She doesn't like Kirsten very much though, and I think she's a little mean to her...

Taylor - Taylor is a #25 and was purchased from one of Bre's fellow message board members, and she's been here since this past spring. We didn't used to get along too well, but we're really good friends now! She's one of the most generous and caring people I know.

Noah - Noah is a bitty baby who Wendy got on eBay for like $12. She's a really early bitty too, so she has white eye lashes! She's a really quiet baby and she loves to play with blocks and her teddy bear.

Ivy - Ivy was Bre's 21st birthday present this past August. Ivy is so cool! She has the best stories and always gives me cool music suggestions.

Kirsten - Kirsten joined our family this October. Bre had been wanting her for a long while, so when AG announced the archival, she decided she'd better get her soon. Kirsten is really sweet... she likes to take care of Noah and influence Bre to keep cheese in the house at all times. She and Addy are the best of friends since they live so close to one another in time.

Ashley - Ashley is a #26 and the newest doll here... Bre's Christmas present yesterday. She seems nice so far, and she's in Taylor's ballet class. Her full name is Ashley Noel Beaumont... isn't that neat?

My first visit to AG Place!

Firstly, hello again, everyone! Wendy here, and I sure have missed you all! Can you believe we still don't have internet at home? Thank goodness we have friends who let us borrow their's. :)

Secondly, I'm out of school for break. Yay! And guess what! Bre has officially finished college! Her graduation isn't until June though, and she's transferring from her junior college to a university, but still. :p

Thirdly, December 9th was my birthday and now I'm 11! And Bre made me official guardian of Coconut, so now I have a dog!!!

Fourthly, Merry Christmas to all my Christmas celebrating friends!

And lastly, but most importantly, yesterday I went to American Girl Place! It was wonderful. :) For Christmas, Bre's mommy bought her a new dolly! But we aren't technically allowed to play with her until tomorrow. But her name is Ashley and she's really pretty! She seemed super excited to leave the store. Hopefully I'll get to tell you more about her soon... once we meet that is. :)

AGPLA album is here.

Until next time,
Wendy (Angela Moira Darling) Stein

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to wish all you guys a happy Thanksgiving! I still have no internet to post regularly, but I'm still thinking about all of you! I really miss you all!

Love, Wendy

I miss you guys =(

Hi everyone! It's your faithful and forever blogger friend Wendy! Our internet is still off (it's driving us all loopy!) and I miss you guys really bad! I'm at school right now... thank goodness for computer labs! I try to read your blogs when I'm at school, but I don't usually have time to comment (especially since we aren't supposed to use the computers for fun stuff, just school stuff... yadda yadda.)

So, as you all might have read on Bre's post, she's saving up to buy Kirsten. I just noticed that two of the things she wanted are already backordered... she won't be happy about that. As for me, I feel like I'm going crazy at school... it's SO boring. Day in, day out, the same thing. It's too early in the school year to feel burnt out, but I already do.

Nicki had a birthday a while back (September 17th.) She's 11 now. Taylor and I are the only ones who are still 10, and her birthday is later this month. I feel like such a baby. =P

Well, thanks for still thinking about me out here in planet boring. Hope to talk soon!

Bre's Post: Project Kirsten

By now, you’ve all heard about the latest victim of AG’s money makingest scheme – archival. As someone who greatly enjoys collecting these dollies and always has a list of the next few dolls to hope for, I was super bummed when I heard about Kirsten getting the axe… she was on my list, but not for a while yet. Of course this whole thing changes my plan a bit… Kirsten will be next.

We’ve been having a really tough time around my house, and I think I deserve a present. (Trust me XD) I tutor at my school and get paid… my first check will come on October 15th, and I’m hoping to use it to start myself on a little Kirsten collection. I’m hoping to get her, her accessory set, her school dress, and her little doll Sari. That way she’ll have a nice extra outfit (which is, coincidentally my favorite outfit of hers) and her little dolly. Every girl needs a doll, right? =) I’ve already read her books, but I don’t have them. My mom has hinted that she might be willing to get those off of Amazon for me though.

So that’s my current plan. Project Kirsten, or to sound even more mysterious: Project K. Wish me luck?

P.S. Wendy hasn’t been updating regularly because the internet is still off at our house. I’m at school now (shh!).

It's Just Life.

Hi everyone!!!! Guess what? I'm still alive! *thunderous applause*

Would you like to know where I've been? Nowhere. Here. The internet has been off at our house for over a month. =( Bre and I are going insane! We're spending a few days at Bre's friend's house (which, coincidentally, is where my friend Rachel lives), so we're bumming her 'netz.

Sooo... we started school again on August 24th. It takes a lot of time a day out of my doing nothing time, *sigh* but it's okay. I have a few classes with Nicki, so that's nice. I'm in marching band, and in November we're gonna play in the Veteran's Day parade.

And since I last talked to you all, Bre had a birthday (the big 2-1, if you can believe that!) and we got a new sister... Ivy! =) Everyone here is crazy about her... she's so pretty and has the best stories about San Francisco. Bre also got a new kitten... she now has three cats, and none of them are big doll fans. =P

Travelling Sheridan has come and gone. I don't have pictures at the moment, but we did have an awesome time. Bre has also taken back to school pics of all of us dollies which I hope to be able to show you soon.

I'm sorry I haven't been around to talk to all of you, and that I haven't been able to read your bloggings about what's going on with all of you. If I don't comment on any of your blog posts for a while, don't be offended.

I'll try to do as many posts as I can while we're here for these few days.

Your faithful blogger,

Wendy Madelyn Stein
