American Girl Girl of the Year: Grace Thomas

If you've been an avid reader of my blog for some time now, you'd know our love for American Girl dolls by reading this, this, this, and this. I've been on board the AG train since I was 8 years old. I pawned over Kirsten for a year before Santa finally brought her to me.

And now I get to share that love with my mini me. Adrienne is just starting to really love playing with American Girl dolls. She will dress them in different clothes, style their hair, and then make up magical adventures that they all go on together. She also loves it when her dolls look like her. So when American Girl debuted their newest Girl of the Year, Grace Thomas, Adrienne squealed. Grace Thomas looks almost identical to Adrienne.

Grace has gorgeous long brown hair with side swiped bang. She has big blue eyes and tiny freckles adorning her face. She comes dressed in an Eiffel Tower shirt, a pink skirt with a black bow on the front, and grey boots with bows on the sides. She even comes with a tiny charm bracelet that she can wear! Adorable.

Thank you American Girl for creating so many wonderful childhood memories.

American Girl Grace Thomas c/o American Girl.

Hey my loves. I know it's been pretty quiet around these parts this past week. Whelp, I'm back. We are officially moved in to our new place. Well, I still have mounds and mounds and did I mention MOUNDS of boxes to unpack. Send me as many good vibes for that as you can.

Twiice Loved Giveaway [OVER]

Congrats Jesse! You have won a beautiful doll from Twiice Loved! I will be contacting you soon! Thank you to everyone who entered this giveaway!

It's almost Halloween! Eeek. I'm so excited. I'm ready to dress Adrienne up in her little bumblebee tutu. I totally gave her a high-five for being so darn cute in it. We also have a birthday party to go to this week, plus I'm having a huge moving sale to get rid of all my excessive junk. So, busy bees? Always. See what I just did there?

Anyhoney, I'm also excited to give all you beautiful readers of mine another amazing giveaway. I'm teaming up with Twiice Loved this week! Twiice Loved creates some of the most exquisite rag dolls in all of the land. Not only are these dolls pretty big (they measure 23" each!), their details are breathtaking. From removable fur coats to gold party dresses, these dolls have the glam. It seems only fitting that their level of fancy is so high, since they are handmade in London. I don't know what it is, but everything seems more glittery over in the U.K.

Each doll is hand-crafted from recycled and vintage materials. No two are alike! Compared to other rag dolls in the same field costing close to $200, cough Jess Brown cough, the prices of these dolls are pretty grand. Some Twiice Loved dolls sell for only $25 doll hairs. Twiice Loved even makes custom rag dolls!

These dolls are the perfect decor for any little princess's room, having that shabby chic, vintage feel. They also make great companions for that same little princess. I know Adrienne loves having tea parties with hers. Crumpets, anyone?

Now it's time for the giveaway! One lucky reader will win a doll from Twiice Loved.

For your chance to win, just log into the Rafflecopter below (or make a new Rafflecopter account), and follow the directions for each entry. Please make sure to actually do what's required for each entry. If you just click enter and not do what it's asking, I'll know. If you are unsure how to do one, skip it and contact me.

Go Hey Judy GIVEAWAY [OVER]

This giveaway is now over! Congrats Manda O.! You have won a Daisy Doll from Go Hey Judy! Thanks to everyone who entered this great giveaway! 

Is it the weekend yet? 'Cause I'm ready for a breakity break. Since we still have another whole day before we can clock out, here is a brand new giveaway to help with the wait.

If you have been reading my blog for a long time now, or heck, even a week, you'd know we adore dolls at this house. Okay, William could care less. So, let me clarify; Adrienne and I love dolls. Especially handmade, one-of-a-kind dolls.

Go Hey Judy, another fabulous Etsy shop full of gifts, sent us my little mama a Daisy Doll with a hand-embroidered face. These Daisy dolls are made from organically dyed muslin making them durable and cuddly. They also make great gifts for both young and old.

There are several Daisy Dolls to choose from, each wearing a different colored dress. The doll we received is wearing a dress made from the most perfect shabby chic fabric in all the land. She matches Adrienne's bed perfectly. My child loves her Daisy. And I love how elegant and unique she looks. 

Now for the giveaway! I've teamed up with Go Hey Judy to offer one lucky Coffee and Cashmere reader a chance to win a Daisy Doll* of choice!

For your chance to win, just log into the Rafflecopter below (or make a new Rafflecopter account), and follow the directions for each entry.
