Guess Where I'm Going - Retro Diner!

Did you guess where the dolls were going? They are going to....

A Retro Diner!

Wait, could it be? The Seaside Diner has opened in my town? Oh, it's another cute diner called Highway 55! Let's go inside!




Here are the Maryellens! Don't they look cute? :)


Time to order!




Ooh, yum! 


"Yay, my food is here!"


Here's my (American Girl Doll Crafter) food! It came in a 50's truck with a strawberry milkshake.


When the dolls were done, it was time to explore the diner.

"Elvis!" 




"I love retro posters! Don't you, Maryellen?"

"Yes!"


"One of my favorite 50's show is I Love Lucy! What's yours?"



Here are some photos of the decorations in Highway 55.


I love all of the posters! :)


Who doesn't know about Elvis, the king of Rock 'n Roll? I don't listen to Elvis, but my Grandma loves him... :P. There were about 5 giant Elvis posters in Hwy 55.


This is the menu. It's so cute! 


Look! This looks exactly like Maryellen's booth at her Seaside Diner! I had a photo of a blue booth, but I don't know what happened to it.... Sorry!



Hwy 55 also has cute chairs and checker floors! 


This is the pattern on the counter. It looks like the pattern on the table in Maryellen's Living Room Set!


The dolls had so much fun and we did too!

P.S. Stay tuned, Part 3 of The Big Pet Mess will be posted soon!

Guess Where I'm Going!

Hi everyone! Today, the Maryellens are going somewhere with us and you have to guess where that somewhere is! Are you ready? Here's a hint.


This hint is from a 50's song on Maryellen's TV Console App.

"Sit down at the counter,
And you turn yourself around.
Wave to your friends, right and left,
And you drink that cola down. Do the ________ !
Do the _______ !"



Did that help you? I bet it did! :D
So, where is Maryellen going? Tell us in the comments!

GOTY 2016 Lea Clark Fancy Dress!

A dress with the Lea Clark tag is available on eBay! A few people have been bidding on it, and right now, the price is $31.20. The price could change during the time left to bid. Here are some photos!


I'm actually very surprised that this is part of Lea's collection. So far, I don't care for any of her items, but this is nice.


Back of the dress.


The design is unique. I like the embroidery. :)


Lea's tag. 


AG is using some different colors for Lea, especially green.




What do you think? Will you be buying anything from Lea's collection?
I might buy this, but I'm not sure. I would have to see it on Lea first. Kaya would look beautiful in this dress, though! 

Here is the LINK to the eBay listing.

This could just be a prototype; we don't know yet. A few of these dresses have been sold on eBay already. We'll try to keep you updated!

In the Great Outdoors!


"C'mon, girls. We're almost there!", Lanie said excitedly. They were taking a vacation this week in the woods! 


"Ooh, a cabin! How charming!", exclaimed Grace. "Let's go inside."





The girls laughed as they jumped on the bed.

"Yahooooo!"


 Then, Annie sat up and looked at the girls."I'm tired and it's already late. How about we go on to sleep?"

"Good idea!", replied Grace with a yawn.


Annie, Grace, and Lanie were snuggled up in their sleeping bags. 

"Zzzzzzz...."

"Grace, quit snoring!" 

"Zzzz....What, I'm not snor-... Oh, sorry."




The next morning was amazing! The sky was clear and the sun was shining. The girls decided to go to the playground.


"This is fun!", yelled Lanie as they twirled around on the tire swing.


Annie ran to the slide...


Grace sat on a rope climbing thing...


And Lanie was rock climbing!


"Hey, girls. Wanna go to the pool?", asked Grace.

"Sure!"




 Lanie sighed. "It's so beautiful here. I wish we didn't have to leave."


There was a long silence.






"I don't want to leave, either.", said Annie, sitting between Grace and Lanie.


"Well, we did have fun right?", said Grace.

"Yes!", the both said. Everyone laughed. It had been so much fun, and the girls hoped that they could come again!
