First doll of 2019!

I succumbed and purchased a new doll!

I couldn't resist because she was on sale.

Also I don't like the new faces of these dolls so she came home with me yesterday.

She is a 14" Glitter Girls doll named Keltie.

Isn't she cute? 

Now I have two of these dolls and one Wellie Wisher.

She was only $15.00 Cdn at my local Chapters/Indigo book store at Metrotown.

I made up a collage for her as I don't have room to keep the boxes so I put them in the recycle box. 

"A twinkle in our eyes and a sparkle in our shoes!"

Now that's a cute motto.

Her name.

The doll brand even has a website!

Glitter Girls Dolls

Here is my new 14" Glitter Girls doll!

Her name is Bluebell.

I couldn't resist her melancholy face, and her sale price!

I found her in the toy department at Hudson's Bay downtown Vancouver BC.

The Glitter Girls are made by Battat Doll Company, the same one which makes Our Generation dolls. They are quite cute, except their eyes don't open and shut, just like American Girl Wellies dolls. Bluebell's hair is very pretty and soft. She is really cute in person.

This is the back of the box. I always take a new doll out of the box immediately, and I recycle them. They don't have a cover, so why keep them?

Some of the accessories for the Glitter Girls were also on sale. I bought the travel one called "Sight for Bright Eyes".

Isn't it adorable?

Ruby's day out!

I took Ruby downtown with me today.
She is my 14" Wellie Wisher doll by American Girl.

She is the only WW doll I have. Her brand name is Emerson, but I don't care for that for a girl's name!

There were two large cruise ships in harbour today. All of the ships were heading to Alaska at 4:30 pm or 6:00 pm today. Wouldn't that be fun! No one in this household has ever been on a cruise yet.

Here is a view of another cruise ship. They are gigantic! You can see the North Shore mountains in the back ground, and Stanley Park, and a big pile of yellow sulfur. It's been there for a very long time, even when Mummy was a little girl. It comes from Alberta and is shipped to Asian countries to be used as fertilizer. It's 25 meters high and weighs 160,000 tonnes! Yikes!

This is a neat walkway you can take to see the other big cruise ship, and to take a ride on "Fly over Canada". Maybe we can come back for that one day!
