Some Cute Walmart Finds

Hello, everyone!

Mama came back from Walmart a couple of days ago and had some wonderful surprises for Luciana and me!

Let me show you:

The first surprise was this absolutely adorable Care Bear. Mama said its name is Cheer Bear. Isn't it gorgeous? Look at those beautiful bright colors, the happy and sweet face, and it's also so soft and cuddly. We love it!

Mama told us that Care Bears became very popular in the 1980s, and that even now, almost 40 years later, they're still popular with adults and children of all ages. She thought since we have a lot of Courtney's 80s outfits now, we also need a Care Bear, so she brought this one home to us.

Here you can see how big it is. So fun!

The next surprise were recorders; or flutes, like they are also called sometimes, even though they're different than regular flutes. We got them in mint green, purple, orange, and green. Mama said they came in a package of 8....two per color....and she found them in the Halloween section.

Luciana is holding one of the purple ones in this picture. Aren't they awesome? They are absolutely perfect for us!

We have decided that we want to learn how to play the recorder, so we can make music together. Mama said she will look for children's songs to print out for us. I'm really looking forward to this!

Needless to say, we are very grateful for our new Care Bear companion and our new recorders 😊

I'll see you again soon!

American Girl Mini Lea

Mini Lea is manufactured by Mattel for American Girl.

She is a beautiful little doll, stands 6 inches tall, and her body is entirely made out of sturdy vinyl. For a small doll her size, she is surprisingly heavy.

She is able to move her head, arms and legs, and is therefore very easy to pose.

Her eyes, skin, and hair color are the same as that of big Lea. She also has the two front teeth showing.

She is dressed identical to her 18-inch counterpart, with the only differences being that she does not have the compass necklace or the messenger bag. However, her dress and shoes are the exact replicas of the bigger doll. All of her clothes are removable.

She comes in a miniature doll box, together with an abridged version of Lea's book "Lea Dives In".

I believe she is a wonderful addition to the collections of American Girl doll fans. Many people use the mini dolls as dolls for their 18-inch dolls, while others collect the mini dolls separately, and give them entire dollhouses and collections of their own.

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.
