Willow's Wishlist

Hello everyone.


         The other day Honey and I sat down to make a reaction video to the new American Girl releases. Half an hour later, we were finally done. Needless to say, the video was FAR too long to upload. Why? Because half way through I went to the Maplelea website and pretty much did an entire OTHER reaction video to their new stuff.

Wait, wasn't this supposed to be an AG reaction video???
So, um, yeah. I guess that video isn't going to happen. In any case, I still want to share my opinions on all those new items, so to focus things a bit I'm going to talk solely about my wishlist! And with any luck, Maple, Honey, Sassafras, and maybe even Aspen will post their own wishlists. Without further ado, my top ten wants from American AND Maplelea:

10. Maplelea's Days at Dauphin outfit
      At fifty dollars, this is sooo expensive but it comes with another skirt (not pictured here) and the mix and match possibilities are just about endless. And wouldn't Marie Grace look beyond cute in that sweater? Because it's so expensive, however, it's at the end of my list...

9. The ginormous carriage and horse set from AG


 This is the distant dream on my list ;) I love it, but it's 373$ and I honestly have no idea where we would store it. This one isn't going to happen. I need those four hundred dollars to pay for my trip to Europe in the spring. LOL

8. The Happy Holiday outfit from AG
I never thought I would be attached enough to a MyAG outfit to put it on my list, but here you go. I usually hate asymetrical hemlines, but I love this one. To be honest though, I'd have to see it in person before I made the decision to buy it. Especially since Marie-Grace already owns two Christmas outfits and this one would probably be worn by Aspen's doll Saila.

7. Maple Cabin Lodge Set
I LOVE this, it is so awesome! Plus I have mittens like those myself. Anyways though, this is towards the end of my list because it is 40$ without the shoes and jeans. I would probably buy it in conjunction with the rest of the club. A lot of the time Honey and I split the cost of outfits and then share them. It's a good way to get what you want but with less expense. So yeah, if she offered to split the cost with me I'd say yes!

6. Addy's Winter Coat

This one is just the coat. I love how it matches with her story and the plaid detailing on it! I have a soft spot for this kind of old fashioned winter wear and ideally all of our dolls would have a coat like this. This one would be worn by Addy (clearly) so I'm a little hesitant to purchase it for Sassafras' doll especially since it costs 24$. However, if I found her winter accessories somewhere I'd probably go for it :)

5.  Samantha's Bed

I feel pretty evil for wanting this one so badly. Marie-Grace's current bed is made out of a cardboard box though, and this is so her style. It's also 150$. It would have to be on super sale for me to get it. Or Santa could get it for me, but that wouldn't be the wisest use of my Santa present. (I could ask for a camera or photoshop for example) But still. I love this bed.

4. Samantha's Bedtime Accessories
For a "mere" 40$ this set could be yours. I love it, it harkens me back to the old pleasant company days! The piece I really want from this set is the music box, actually. It is gorgeous and would be a super cool piece for stop motion.

3. Samantha's Outfit
Probably the only thing I'll get from Beforever. This outfit is just Marie-Grace's style and it comes with some bloomers I desperately need for all my PC Samantha outfits! Marie-Grace could just wear this as an everyday outfit. I am such a sucker for Samantha's collection!! (witnessed by my 7 Pre-mattel Samantha outfits, her trunk, accessories, etc.)

2. Snowshoes and Beaver from Maplelea
Of all of Maplelea's newest releases, this was my favorite! The snowshoes resemble the ones from Kirsten's winter pass times and Kirsten's collection was the one I really wanted when I was younger (and still want today). The snowshoes would also work with my many pieces of historical clothing. The beaver is just too cute!!! It's 30 bucks and I'm actually willing to pay that for them!

1. Caroline's Ice Skating Set
I have had my eye on these skates for a while! They are adorable and I love how the shoes are separate. The set is actually really similar to Kirsten's Skating Outfit skates. I own the coat from the outfit and it is one of my favorite items as it is a rare limited edition outfit! These skates would complete the set and my intention is to get them at AG place soon!

Well everyone, thanks for hanging in there with me through all that! What's on your wishlist?
