Fun finds ~ Doll sized tea set.

Hey everyone! My sweet Grandma gave me and my little Sister's 2 tea sets to play with! 

I knew that they would be the perfect size for my dolls once I saw them! So today I'll be showing you all that. Enjoy! 

 This is the first full tea set that I will be showing you! It comes with:
2 Tea cups
2 Saucers
1 Creamer
1 Sugar bowl
1 Tea pot
1 Service tray

Here's my hand compared to the tea cup. Just so you get the idea of how big it is.

It's so cute!

The tea pot in my hand. You get the idea. ;)

Here's a picture of the 2 other pieces. The sugar bowl and the creamer.

Here's a picture of the service tray.

Here is the 2nd tea set. It is bigger than the one before. So I don't think that I will be using it much for the dolls. I think that it's just a little bit too big. It contains the same pieces as the previous set.

Here are all the pieces that come with the set.

Here's the service tray. The flowers are so pretty! Especially with the purple.




I will now be comparing the different pieces of both sets so you can see how big they are side by side.

Here is a picture of both the tea pots. The purple floral one is a lot bigger as you can see!

This picture is with both the creamers. You can definitely tell the difference!

Teacup, and saucer comparison.

Sugar bowl comparison.

Service tray comparison.

So as you can see, the yellow flower tea set is significantly smaller than the floral purple one. 

I personally love the purple one better! But I think I will only be using the yellow tea set.

Which one would you use?

Here are a few photos of Claire with the tea set. :D

As you can see, they are the perfect size for dolls! They have a really cute pattern that I really love. ;)

Thanks for reading! And I also updated the "My Dolls" page. So go check that out! I finally gave the girls middle names and a last name. XD I really love them personally... :3

And the winner for this last weeks poll's question is: Clothes! I'm not really surprised. XD
 Also as always there's a new poll to vote on! The question is: What do you think about custom AG boy dolls?" Make sure to vote! It will be interesting to see your opinion! If you have any ideas on what you all as readers should vote on next, please comment down below! It would be awesome to see your ideas. ^_^

Fun find ~ My pet bed

Hey everybody! I have a fun find for your American Girl doll's pet! I found this really cute basket at my local craft store and I made a circular pillow for it to make a DIY pet bed! My girl's pet is Pepper. They love him tons. Also, keep a look out for an upcoming photo story with him! ;) It's super cute. So anyways, let's get to the pictures!

 Here is Pepper compared to the pet bed. (I know the fabric is pink. I forgot that I was sewing it for him! xD)

 Here he is inside of it.

 And Pepper was one of the biggest dogs from the old pet collection so this should fit any size of dog.

 Here's a close up of the basket.

 You can also just sew a pillow for a simple bed! Plus it doesn't take up as much space as the bed does.

 Above are pictures of the basket alone and without the pillow.

 Here I am comparing Mae to the pet bed. Just so you can see how big the bed is compared to a "18 AG doll.

Thanks for reading! Do you have any pets for your American Girl doll? If so, which ones? I'll see you all Friday! Also, my blog's anniversary is coming up this week! I'll be doing a big post about it. :)

I am back, and a couple Awards!

Hey everyone! I am back! And I am here with the "You're a great photographer award!", and "You are amazing and so is your blog award!" I was nominated by Doll daydreams, and the lovely Leah from ToDOLLY Awesome! Thank you so much both! It means tons to me. ;) So lets get to it!

I will first be doing the "Your a great photographer award!" Doll Daydreams nominated me for this one.

Here are the rules:

1. Nominate 3-7 blogs for this award and make a link to the blog.

2. If you are nominated, give 1 of your photography tips and answer the questions given.

3. Go comment on a post of the person you nominated letting them know they were nominated.

4. Copy the picture above on your post.

5. Link your post back to the original post.

6. Add the picture to your tool bar or page.

7. Copy these rules onto your post.

8. Have fun!

Here is my piece of advice to you all:

Always use natural lighting! It always turns out better. And if you like indoor photography, try taking your pictures by the window! It adds a nice feel to the photo and you get that perfect natural light! 

Her questions to me are:

1. What kind camera do you use? A: I use my Kodak mini share camera. XD I am really embarrassed on how small it is... It's nothing fancy, at all. I am really surprised that I can get pretty decent photos out of it! So yeah... XD I plan to get better camera soon.
2. Where is your favorite place to take photos? A: I really like anywhere that has nature, and natural lighting. I use my backyard frequently but I usually use my front yard. 
3. Do you edit your photos? How often? A: I usually do edit my photos. A lot of the time I just lighten up the pictures, but lately I have been editing them. I have been experimenting with different ways to edit photos and I want to get good at it! Practice makes perfect!  
4. How often do you take photos of your dolls? A: When I have free time I guess! I sometimes just do it for fun! I don't always do it for blog posts. 

Thank you so much! I loved answering those questions. :) Now lets see who I will nominate for this award! 

I nominate:

Adi from AG In The Shire,

Kaitlyn from American Girl Place,

Maddie from Dolls On My Mind,

 Leah from ToDolly awesome.

My questions for you all are:

1. What camera do you use?
2. Which one of your dolls is the most photogenic?
3. Do you like indoor photography better, or outdoor? 
4. Which season is your favorite to take photos of your dolls? (Sorry if that was confusing)

Now I will be doing the "You are amazing and so it your blog" award. I was nominated by Leah for this award. :D 

Here are her questions for me:

1.What's your favorite book series?

    Let's see... I love the Percy Jackson series! I don't know of any else really. Other than the childhood series Magic Tree House... XD I used to read them over and over again.  

2. Is you hair curly, straight, or wavy?

    My goodness... my hair is as straight as a stick. Even more than you can imagine. And it's REALLY long... I love it. :3

3. Are you totally obsessed with Polaroids like I am?

   I have wanted to own a Polaroid camera for a while now... I don't think I am totally obsessed with them, but I love them!  

4. Do you know how to French braid?

    Yup I do! I don't know how to do it on my self though. 

5.What blog that you follow has your favorite design?

    TBH I love Maddie's and Adi's (over on The Halfling Writer). I am really organized and I love everything crisp and clear to read, and I love the color scheme of their blogs! IDK why, but I do. XD 

So since I already did this award I will not be nominating people. Sorry! 

Well, that's the end of that! BTW comment down below what camera you use and if you recommend it. It would help me a lot to know which camera to buy. Thanks! Also, don't forget to enter your vote for the weekly poll! This weeks poll is: What are your favorite things to buy for your dolls? Have fun! 

Anyways, thank you SO much for reading! And I will see you Wednesday! Adios!
