My Life As Egg Chair

This cute egg chair is sold exclusively at Walmart for the My Life As doll line.

The egg chair is made entirely out of plastic. It has a teal-colored base, as well as a teal rim around the actual egg-shaped chair. The chair itself is clear. Along with the chair you will receive a soft pillow, which is made out of purple plush material, as well as a diamond-shaped sticker sheet for decoration purposes, containing 22 colorful stickers.

I believe this egg chair is a wonderful addition to any 18-inch doll collections and dollhouses, and of course for pretend play and photo shoots.

Family Dollar Haul

 

Mama found some really nice things at the Family Dollar over the summer, and I wanted to share them with you.

Our first item is a wooden sign that is shaped like a surfboard and features palm leaves, flamingos and the word "Aloha" written in pink, glittery letters. This will most likely go into our bathroom, since we want to keep the theme of the bathroom in a flamingo/ocean/mermaid design.

This is a little clear plastic dresser, that will be perfect for a night table in the bedroom.

I never thought I would say this about a trash can, but this one is super cool! It looks just like the big one we have outside for all our trash. It even has working wheels! Of course this one is not meant to be put on the curb for the trash truck to come by and empty it, but instead it will look so cute in our kitchen.

Next we have a globe. We really love this one because it's so big, so we can see all the countries of the world a lot better. Another thing we really like is that the land masses are kept in a silver color, while all the oceans are shown in black.

These are some adorable little plates, shaped like conversation bubbles.

They each have a saying on them, such as "choose joy", "choose love", and "choose happy".

Here are more of these cute plates, but these are star-shaped, and Luciana especially loves these because they are fashion inspired.

One of them has a little heart and the saying "Glamour never takes a day off", while another one has a pair of sunglasses, and the third features a high heel shoe.

Mama also found these amazing battery operated lights for us! There are ten spheres made out of wire; two each in red, green, blue, purple, and gold. I'm not sure yet where we will put them, but I'm sure we'll find a great place for them when the time comes.

The last thing we got in this haul is a light-up sign. It comes with several sheets of letters, numbers, and symbols, which we can stick to the front of the sign. Then all that's left to do is insert batteries, and switch the sign on. I really like this!

Thank you for joining me! We will see each other again real soon 😊

Dollar Tree Haul

 

During a recent visit to the Dollar Tree, Mama found a few really neat things she brought home to us. Let me show you what they are!

These are foam rollers that we can use to curl our hair. They're really soft, so we can even leave them in while we're sleeping.

Here we have some little tubs that are perfect for the laundry room, the play room, the craft room, or anywhere else where some extra storage is needed. They came in a pack of five.

Mama found these milky white crates and got two of them. We're thinking of transforming them into a shelf unit.

This is a small caddy; very similar to the big ones many people use to store cleaning supplies in. I think we will use it in the craft room.

Here we have a small two-drawer unit. Mama bought five of them. They came in different colors, but she got them all in pink, since this is a color we love. We will most likely use them all through the house.

Mama also found this awesome cookware! It came with a round pan, spatula, butcher knife, and two food items. This is perfect for making a big meal!

Here is another cooking set; this time with a square griddle pan. I'm modeling with both sets, so you can see the size comparison.

I hope you enjoyed this haul, and hopefully we will see each other again soon 😊

Our Generation Gourmet Kitchen

 

The Gourmet Kitchen was manufactured by the Battat Company for the Our Generation doll line, and sold at Target.

This beautiful kitchen comes in a bright pink color with a glitter effect. The accent wall behind the stove, the burners, as well as the pretend kitchen clock are light pink in color. It also features a white trim, window, and white heat regulation knobs. The stove top and ice cream maker are colored black, and the hardware is chrome in color. It is made entirely out of sturdy plastic, with the burners being made out of metal.

The kitchen is completely playable, and all doors open. The shelf inside the oven can be completely removed, and so can the shelves inside the dishwasher. There are several shelves and storage compartments, including a little "secret" compartment behind the kitchen clock. The drawer underneath the oven can also be removed, and is able to hold items, such as cookware.

 

The refrigerator is also completely playable. The two big doors open and feature little shelving units on each side. The two upper shelves on the left have lids that can be opened to add items. The shelves inside the main part of the fridge can be completely removed and rearranged. The bins as well as the freezer compartment on the bottom are also removable for easy access.

American Girl Play Sets (Running List)

This will be a running list of American Girl Play Sets that I will add to as I get new sets for my collection. The newest set will always be on the top. Unlike play sets from other brands, I chose to keep the American Girl brand together on the same page(s), since I have a source I can link to for detailed item descriptions.

18-Inch Doll Table And Stools

This adorable doll table with two matching stools was sold by Olivia's Little World on Amazon, as well as on other retail websites.

The set consists of a white round table that has a pink plank-style top, as well as two matching white stools with pink plank-style seats. It does not come assembled, but with all the hardware (minus screwdriver) and instructions required to put it together. The assembly is very easy.

The furniture is made entirely out of sturdy wood, and is perfect for 18-inch dolls.

Per the retailer, the set measures 11.8 inches in length, 11.8 inches in width, and 10.1 inches in height.

It was originally labeled for pretend outdoor play, but it's also a beautiful addition to a doll kitchen. The table is a lot bigger than most other 18-inch doll tables, which allows for more items to be placed or displayed.

I believe the set is no longer available for sale through the regular retail market, but it might be able to be found on resale websites or on social media in BST (buy-sell-trade) groups.

Doll-Sized Pet Bed

Hello again, doll friends!

Mama was busy again and made a doggie bed for Teddy and Stella 😀 At first she wanted to make one for each dog, but once we saw the size of it, we decided that one bed would be plenty for both of them, especially since they love to sleep all cuddled up anyway 😊

Please note that the pet bed was made from a pattern Mama found online, and I will post the link for it, so you can give proper credit if you decide to make one for your doggies or kitties, too.

This pet bed was made from a pattern by ABC Knitting Patterns, and you can find the instructions HERE.

*** Please note: This is a free pattern, so please link back to the creator if you use it! ***

This is the basket.

And here we have the cushion.

Teddy and Stella are curious. 

Teddy: "Hmmm....let's sniff it real good first, and then we'll try to find out what it is."

Stella: "It's a bed! Hurry Teddy! Come up here and check this out!"

It doesn't take long until they're both comfortable and ready for a doggie nap.

Have fun, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and please don't forget to link back to ABC Knitting Patterns if you make the bed. 😉

Doll Closet

Hello again, doll friends!

Today I would like to show you a closet Mama made for our ever growing wardrobe.

She found inspiration to make this closet on Pinterest.

As always, Mama's instructions are below. You do not need to credit us or link back to this page if you choose to make this closet for yourself, since we only borrowed the idea from a wide variety of similar projects on Pinterest ourselves.

Let's go to the supplies and instructions....

Crochet Vanity Puff

Hello, doll friends!

I have another awesome craft for you that Mama made for me. This one is a vanity puff, which is a comfortable, fluffy seat you sit on in front of a vanity table.

Here is a picture of me next to it, so you can see the size of it to me in comparison.

If you would like to make a vanity puff like this for yourself, please feel free to use the following instructions, but also please make sure to link back to this page for credit. Thank you! 😊

A Kitchen Hutch

Hello, doll friends!

Today I would like to show you something really cool: A kitchen hutch!

Mama found this hutch several years ago at a flea market store, and just had to have it. It was one of those impulse buys because it reminded her of a hutch she had as a child. For the next few years it sat in a closet, unused, but when I came along she just knew that it would be absolutely perfect for me.

I already have the pink OG Kitchen, which I will most likely show in a different post, but my hutch will be part of my kitchen when it's all set up.

We believe that it was well loved by its former owner, but it's completely out of wood and hand painted with a beautiful floral motive, which makes it even more special and unique.

The measurements are 14.5 inches high, 9.6 inches wide, and 4.6 inches deep.

I love it, and can't wait until my kitchen is done and this wonderful piece is added to it!

Until next time!

A Floor Pillow

Hello doll friends!

We're busy collecting furniture and accessories for the future apartment, and there are quite a few things that we've already purchased and also made. Mama especially is very creative, and has made some wonderful items, but we also come across really neat stuff on occasion that we just can't pass up.

So with this in mind, I will start a series called "Fun Finds", and show what we have. You can find all the posts in this series in the tab below, so you don't have to search through all the other posts that will be here too.

Let's start with the newest purchase first:
Mama went to the Dollar Tree on Friday, and found this amazing floor pillow!

Of course I had to try it out right away 😄

I love it! It's so soft, and fluffy, and comfortable....and pink! My favorite color!

The pillow is 12 3/4 inches in diameter.

Yay! This was my first post. Until next time.
