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?

"It Seams Perfect!" by Our Generation: sewing set

I had to take it easy yesterday, so I wrestled with the Our Generation sewing machine set and got it open. These things are not easy! It takes great skill. This is the set I ordered online as there was FREE shipping over $60. This is a Very Cute Set indeed. I'm so glad I ordered it; it's adorable and very well made. The only odd thing is the dress form; the top part balances but doesn't actually snap together with the bottom part, so if you nudge it, it will fall off! Very odd indeed.

The OG sewing set has the cutest accessories! I think I actually like them better than AG sets I've seen recently. Whoever designs for OG is a genius! There is an actual dress pattern made out of tissue paper, and a bolt of fabric so dolly can cut and sew her own dress!

The OG sewing accessories.

OG is designed by Battat in Montreal, Quebec, Canada!

But of course, made in China. That's why I'm so happy that the OG products are now being sold here in Canada.
