American Girl Accessories & Keepsakes (Running List)

This will be a running list of American Girl accessories and keepsakes that I will add to as I get new ones for my collection. The newest ones will always be on the top. Unlike with accessories and keepsakes 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.

2021 Winter Princess Ornament


She is called the Winter Princess, and is modeled after one of the Winter Princess dolls American Girl brought out as limited editions for the 2021 holiday season. The real doll has Swarovski crystals on her dress, but the ornament has little rhinestones as well as glitter on her dress and shoes instead. She comes in this beautiful display box, and is safely secured with string and foam strips



This is what she looks like out of the box. Isn't she adorable? She has the cutest face



And this is what she looks like from the back

2020 Nutcracker Land of the Sweets Ornament


She has real Swarovski Crystals attached to the ribbon on her waist as well as the ribbon around her head. She comes in this beautiful collector's keepsake box



She is safely secured just like a real American Girl doll with string and foamy material around her limbs to prevent the strings from damaging her



Here she is, out of the box. Isn't she beautiful? They definitely did an amazing job with her. We love everything about her!



We wanted to show her from the back as well, so you can see just how perfect she is all the way around

Fashion Accessories For Dolls


 

This adorable accessories set was manufactured by Mattel for American Girl.

The set consists of:

~ 1 fedora hat

~ 1 beaded necklace

The fedora is made to look like a straw hat. It features a hat band in the colors purple, pink, fuchsia, coral, light green, and light blue, which repeat itself around the entire hat. The same color arrangement is also used in a smaller band around the brim of the hat. A red star, the logo of American Girl, is stamped on the right side of the fedora.

The necklace is made out of flat coral beads, as well as round yellow beads. The beads are strung onto a fuchsia colored string, and a tassel in the same color is added to the middle in the front, separating one half of the coral and yellow beads from the other. The necklace closes with a slide-clasp in the back.




Due to the many colors represented in the bands around the hat, as well as the more neutral tones of the necklace, these accessories can be used with many different outfits. 😊

Cool Backpacks For Many Occasions

Every girl needs at least one backpack. Most girls carry one to school, but there are other occasions when you need a backpack, too....for example sports, dance, cheer, hiking, camping, for the beach, for a trip, or just simply for fun and leisure. We make no exception to that, but at this moment we really don't have many backpacks.

So, with this in mind, this will be another one of my famous running lists, where I will show you the backpacks we have so far, and I will add to this list as we'll get more of these awesome bags.

Here we go:



This beautiful backpack came from the company My Brittany's.

It is made out of a quilted fabric, held in the colors pink, purple, and white. The main pattern is white and pink gingham, with a purple ribbon band horizontally across at the top, and another one toward the bottom of the bag, which ends in a purple mesh pocket. The rim around the bag is also held in purple.

Another vertical short double ribbon holds the smaller accompanying lunch or accessories bag. This little bag also features the white and pink quilted gingham pattern, as well as a horizontal purple ribbon toward the top with a little bow in the middle. The rim on this bag is also held in purple. This smaller bag cannot be detached from the bigger one, but it can be inserted into the mesh pocked of the backpack.

Both bags have a white working zipper, and roomy interiors. The side facing the back of the person carrying the backpack features two purple ribbon carrying straps.



The next two bags are our absolute favorites! They came from Amazon (check for seller American Fashion World).

The first bag, which is mine, is purple with shiny bright purple sequins all over the front. The trim around this backpack is also purple. Four black short double ribbons hold a black elastic band in a zigzag pattern across the bag, which allows the carrier to fasten bigger items to the front. Another short black double ribbon on the top can be used to carry the bag without using the shoulder straps.

In addition, the backpack features two working black zippers....a big one going all across the bag, which reveals a roomy interior, as well as a smaller black zipper on the front top of the bag, which also gives the user more storage space. There is also a small storage pocket on each side of the backpack.

The carrying straps are made from black ribbon and each have a clasp to make it easier to put the bag on or to take it off.

Maria has the exact same bag as I do, but hers is pink with shiny bright pink sequins all over the front.



This is Maria's bag, which is the exact same as mine, other than the body color. Here you can see the front of it very well with the elastic.



And here are the carrying straps as well as the clasps. The length of the straps cannot be adjusted, however.

💜 We decided these elastic bands would be absolutely perfect to carry our dolls along, so that's what we'll do 💜



In this picture you can see a closeup of what it looks like when my doll is securely strapped into the elastic. This is so cool! 😍

Until next time!

Wicker Laundry Basket

Hello everyone!

Mama was looking through some things she had put away, and came across a wicker basket that looks just like one of the old-fashioned laundry baskets women used decades ago before plastic even became a thing.

She said at one time she got it as a gift, and it contained small bottles of shower gel, body lotion, and some other items. She kept the basket because she thought it's cute, and after finding it in the back of the bathroom cabinet she decided that it's perfect for Luciana and me, so now it belongs to us.

Let me show you!



I took this picture, showing the inside of the basket. It even has the carrying holes on each side.



And here is a picture of me holding the basket, so you can see the size of it. It's really nice and very sturdy. I'm not sure if we'll use it as a laundry basket, or if we'll use it to store something in it, but I'm happy that Mama gave it to us 😊

Until next time!
