Cool Finds!!

Hey guys!! You guys might not have known this, but I LOVE shopping at Thrift Stores and Goodwill and stuff so that I can find things that my dolls will love!! I never find much, but I visited a new Thrift Store, and it is GREAT!!
I found a couple things that I really wanted, and my mom let me get them! I was so happy, and I think the things I found are pretty cool! I'll post some pictures of them right now!

I got this cool little trunk/nightstand that is a perfect little table to use as a nightstand, a toy box, or even a trunk for someone like Kirsten. Guess what?? It was only 99 cents!

It opens up and the hinges on it are in very good condition, they don't squeak while they open, and they are very clean and in good function.

This is Jasmine standing next to it, so that you can see how big it is against my dolls. It is maybe a tiny bit too small, but it is still a perfect piece.

Then, in the baby doll section I found this cute little baby. She is the perfect size for a baby sister for my AG dolls! She is so adorable, and she was only 49 cents!! She does have a couple scratches and some marker markings on the back of her head, but I got it all off as soon as I got home. I used the Magic Eraser Cleaning Sponge.

Look, it is Jasmine with her new baby sister. Since Jasmine's name starts with the letter J, I decided to name the baby with that first letter too! The baby's name is Jade. Isn't it So cute??

The best part is that you can pose her to look like she is playing and rolling around. She can do several cute baby poses, and I am very pleased with her quality!! She was such a great bargain, and she is turning out to be a perfect little sister for Jasmine!

I am hoping to make a weekly trip to the thrift store, and if I find anything good I will post what I get on here!

Jasamine and Kirsten to the Rescue Part 1

One day, Jasmine and Kirsten were walking home from school late. They had both gone to art club, so all their friends were already at American Girl Farms since they didn't go to Art Club.

"Art club sure was fun!" Kirsten said thinking of her awesome craft she was making.

"I know," thought Jasmine. She was making posters for the Recycling Team.

"The thing that got on my nerves was that my friend Hailey was trying to text on her new friend while I was telling her a story, and then...." Kirsten said trying to tell Jasmine about her day.

"Shhh, I hear a dog barking!" Jasmine was a true animal lover and she was always looking for the chance to help dogs, cats, horses, and even rabbits.

The girls set off in the direction of the barking.

A small West Highland White Terrier was standing among the rocky path barking up at the tree and the girls.

A cute little Tuxedo cat was high up in the tree looking up at the sky and silently licking her paw.

She didn't seem to mind being up there, but the girls thought that they should take an effort to save her.

Jasmine climbed higher and higher up the tree, until she could almost reach out and grab the cat!

Soon, Jasmine had reached the cute kitty, and she hesitantly began to grab the kitty into her arms.

By the time that Jasmine was almost to the bottom of the tree, her hat had fallen off and she had almost dropped the kitty twice. It was hard climbing while carrying a cat!

Soon, the kitty was safe in Jasmine and Kirsten's arms. Wait to see what happens next, in Part 2 coming out Tuesday or Wednesday.

Jasamine's Sickness :(

Today, Jasmine wasn't getting up even though it was 9:00 in the morning and she had missed her and Elizabeth's daily morning horse run.

"Wake up Jasmine! You slept so late you missed our morning horse run! I sure did miss you when I had to ride by myself! Are you alright?" Samantha asked as she tried to pull the covers from around Jasmine's body.

"I don't know Samantha, I don't feel so good. My body feels all wobbly. I might have trouble standing up. I have a bad headache and I feel really hot. I think I might be sick," said Jasmine quietly.

"I better go call the doctor! I hope Dr. Rosendale is able to make house calls!" Samantha was trying not to be frantic, but trying not to be just made her seem more worried.

Soon, Dr. Rosendale was checking Jasamine.

"It seems to me that it might be more then a cold, I think she might have come down with a horrible case of the flu," Dr. Rosendale said with a hint of worry.

"Dr. Rosendale, is everything going to be alright, what should I do?" Samantha asked worriedly. 

"Well, make sure that you wash your hands so that you don't get sick, give plenty of cold liquids, make sure she stays in bed for about two days and I should be back to check on her. Give her any foods or things she wants. But I mean for you to follow these instructions very carefully or else it could get worse and turn into pneumonia," Dr. Rosendale said. 

"Thank you doctor," said Samantha quietly. Samantha was worried for her friend, and she couldn't imagine if the flu turned into pneumonia.

Samantha went to go make breakfast with all the other girls that were sitting in the kitchen. Jasmine just tried her best to fall asleep, but she felt so hot and sick. Dr. Rosendale had said her fever was very bad and they should try to bring it down. 

Jasamine's mom did come in and bring her some things, but then she had to leave for a buisness trip.

Licorice was there to keep her company.

"Is there any thing any of us can get you for breakfast, or maybe something to play with. Do you want your Molly doll?"

"No thanks Lissie, but I might take some food or something," Jasmine was losing her voice and she was acting very sick. 

Felicity sat down with a pad of paper and pencil and she began to take Jasmine's orders.

"I think that I'll take a cool strawberry drink that Samantha loves making, and I think I might want to watch a movie, maybe I'll take some popcorn too," Jasmine spoke slowly and then finally she leaned back and waited as Felicity began to get her some things.

Soon, Jasmine had all of her things she had ordered and she was starting her road to recovery. She had her strawberry drink with extra ice to bring the fever down, a bowl of buttery popcorn to help her feel full, and a movie that was playing on Lanie's laptop that was sitting on Kit's desk chair. 

Then, Felicity came to give Jasmine a break, and to deliver some special orders from Dr. Rosendale.

Later in the day, Jasmine was starting to feel a tiny bit better, but she is still very sick.

GET WELL SOON Jasmine!

Elizabeth's Practice!

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and Elizabeth was practicing her violin. Actually, Elizabeth's recital is coming up very soon, so she is all about practice, practice, practice!!

Elizabeth's friends on the farm love listening to her, so she is practicing very often.

Elizabeth practiced her violin very hard. Look, she doesn't even need the music!! She has memorized the whole piece. She is sure she will do great in the recital.

"Hi everyone! In two or three days you will get to see my recital! I hope you are excited!" Elizabeth says. She is very excited too!
