Slowly working on creating a mini AG dollhouse! I have tons of the AG minis from childhood, and no space for so much furniture for the 18 inch dolls

So this is my plan to release the urge to have all their setpieces

Kirsten, Molly, and Felicity's beds are made from fabric and their original boxes

The other furniture is from goodwill

Look at her collar. Is it frilly, high-necked, brightly colored, and/or heavily accessorized? Congratulations! You’ve found the character on whom the writer has projected his or her own fears about femininity and materialism — or as I call her, the Little Fancy Bitch. Above all, Little Fancy Bitch is stylish as hell. From books to films, her fashion sense has remained astonishingly consistent, combining traditional notions of old money with maximalist femininity. Think frilly, over-accessorized pinafores, steam-cleaned pea coats, blindingly white knee socks, and hair that behaves exactly how it’s supposed to.

Fancy Little Bitch is a term of endearment, by the way, because I believe this trope to be woefully misunderstood. The funny thing about the Little Fancy Bitch is that often she isn’t really a villain at all — most of the time, she’s actually a friend or acquaintance of the protagonist, written into the story solely to show how cool and chill said protagonist is. But to me, she just illustrates how overrated being cool and chill is.

But I’ve had a fondness for this sort of character that’s only grown over the years, and I think I know why. In a world of bookworms and tomboys, the Little Fancy Bitch is an unapologetic try-hard who has more important things to take care of than worrying about what everyone else thinks of her. It’s also important to mention, I think, that the Little Fancy Bitch is ultimately a comedic device. She’s there because the things she says are hilarious, and in children’s books, the girls don’t often get to be the ones delivering the jokes. - "In Praise of the Little Fancy Bitch Aesthetic," Rebecca Jennings (x)

#this was so much fun and SUCH a throwback omg #i love my little fancy bitches #and for the record alice is definitely the bitchiest one on this list #but consider this: does madeline qualify?#what about the candy and the dollhouse from papa?!#american girl #samantha parkington #eloise #alice in wonderland #lewis carroll #bookedit #literature #*

Here is my current project: a two-story “house” for modern dolls. The main structure is a table, 36” high, 36” deep, and 60” long. Lots of space for a kitchen and living room, and very accessible height-wise. The lower level is a desk-top, 30” deep and 60” long. It rests on three storage drawers and is also kind of wedged inside the table legs. Still working on the details, but have added some Christmas decorations. Planning to add stick-on lights for the lower level, and maybe some exterior walls. But very happy with results so far! The table and desk-top are both from Wayfair, and the storage drawers are from Home Goods.

i just got this super cute “retro fun” My Life As set off eBay! ever since i saw julie’s lava lamp, i’ve been on the hunt for a more affordable version. this set absolutely took the cake. it even came with a record player, knocking another item off my wishlist! my only gripe is that the lava lamp doesn’t light up, but if I place it on a small light source, it should still “glow”.

been meaning to snap some pics and post about this for a bit - here’s how i display my american girl dolls!

i used a combination of new & retired pieces from AG, small shelves and stands from bullseye’s playground at target, and other misc. bits from thrift stores and etsy to create this setup. i usually keep valerie on my desk b/c i take her out with me the most, so i don’t like having to constantly wrangle her in and out of the setup (and inevitably knock a bunch of stuff over). here’s links to some pieces of note!

and finally, some rambling about places i like to look for AG display stuff! (under the cut and not anything anyone hasn’t said before- i am NOT an authority lmao)

- Dollar tree! Check the craft section, kitchen section, homegoods section, and seasonal section frequently for cool stuff. my favorite recent find are fake plants, mini wood crates, and the fairy lights that are lining the bottom and back of my display! they often have hair accessories that are great for AG too, like cute clips, tiny barrettes, and colorful mini rubber bands- which are great for doll hair AND making your doll hold things, like how my re-wigged saige doll Poppy is holding the coffee carrier!

- Thrift stores! Look outside the toy section for fun stuff to decorate your room. The homewares section will often have random tiny cute things, like the wicker tray I have the cream and sugar on. My rule of thumb is to look for things with different textures other than plastic to add touches of realism to my display. i have a few little crocheted pieces mixed into the display too - one on the couch, one on top of licorice’s cat tower, and one as a rug under my addy doll Maribelle’s feet - that you can often find mixed in with potholders, coasters, and washcloths.

- Bullseye’s Playground at Target! EVERYONE has that one tiny kitchen cart from there and it’s great. All the mini shelving in my AG room came from there, and they frequently have plant stands or little risers that make great tables and accents. five below sometimes has the same type of thing, but not as frequently.

- Our Generation sets! I don’t like the big plastic pieces as much, but some of their tiny accessories like school supplies and food are often on par with contemporary AG quality. And they’re often on sale at Target!

FB groups/marketplace! I got my samantha doll Valerie’s stand AND a doll dressform from FB marketplace for free, picked up maryellen’s couch for $40, and julie’s complete lunchbox for $5! almost all my old pleasant company finds are from FB buy/sell group purges, and i find that this is consistently the cheapest place to find AG treasure. people are also often willing to haggle, so i sometimes ask to make a bundle or see if the seller is willing to take a few dollars less. (but like, don’t lowball people, you know?)

happy hunting!

Since I discovered Gorilla Putty, I feel a lot safer having doll stuff within Spork's 🐱 reach. So I rearranged my dresser tops into a "dollhouse." (Everything that can be pinned down is, either with putty or with duct tape, including the standing dolls' feet, the furniture and accessories, and even the tablecloth!) Anyways, I'm really pleased with the outcome, so I wanted to share with y'all.

1911

Baltimore

[spoken by a child and then a servant in an affluent home]

" '...I don't believe you're eighteen years old. You played with my dollhouse, didn't you?'

I had, actually....I'll admit it: I've never seen anything like that dollhouse. It's four feet tall, with three floors full of perfect miniature furniture: needlepoint carpets, and cunning little chairs upholstered in striped silk...I could never have imagined such an elaborate and expensive toy. If it had been mine - when I was little, I mean - I'd have kept it in apple-pie order....

...well, I guess it was silly, I cut up a tiny section of Malka's Yiddish newspaper so the papa doll could have something to read....After that - well, I allow myself one little change per day. Once I put the baby doll in the bathtub, with the mother kneeling next to him - I rolled up her sleeves to the elbows. Another time, I made the china cat sleep on top of the piano...."

The Hired Girl by Laura Amy Schlitz

I loved and recommend the book I'm quoting from, but for the moment, I wanted to riff a little bit about dollhouses and small miniatures.

Despite the pictures of my AG characters with dollhouse figures here, neither Rebecca (1914) nor Kit (1934) were from wealthy enough families to have had dollhouses. From my googling, it sounds like they didn't become affordable to the middle class until the late 1940s and 1950s.

One thing I wonder about is why I've taken back up doll collecting and miniatures in my middle age. I've enjoyed this hobby in the ways described in the excerpt - looking forward to making a tiny newspaper or putting characters into a storyline.

I might have come to this hobby anyway - my mom also likes dolls and miniatures. Also, an idea I've read that resonates in my own situation is that a dollhouse gives me some control. Someone in my life had things really go off the rails during the pandemic. I'm not going to be specific here, but I made repeated efforts to help that came to naught. It is healing for me to have a nook in the utility room where there will be a cozy home with a new rug or a newspaper if I want.

Among things I have no control over is the weather. Last picture here is rain!!

I don’t want kids but like I Do want to build a tree house for kids and I like shopping for kids and cute kids clothes and toys and take them on adventures and that kinda stuff yk

#I don’t even babysit anymore cause I’m actually so bad with kids #playing pretend is a skill I really lack in I do not know how to play with Barbies #when I was little I’d just line up all the dollhouse-type things I had and line up the lps figures in front of it #then I’d take it down and do it again in another order #and I thought that’s how all children played until like a year ago when I started seeing people talk about how they’d like #make their barbies have affairs or murder each other #I didn’t even play with dolls actually I was scared of them #I got an American girl doll that looked like me and it had a little toy closet #at night I’d close it in its closet then put that in my closet and tie my closet shut with shoelaces #yk. just in case it came to life and wanted to kill me. normal childhood things.#this was before chucky too I was just like that #and I still stand by dolls are creepy #but yea I don’t think I’m. well suited. to be in charge of children #ghost rambles

Stacy’s all ready for school to start! She’s picked out her first-day outfit and tidied her room to start the year off right. Of course, she wants to give us the full tour.

“Here’s my bed. I’m allowed to have a bunk bed with a ladder now that I’m 8! These are some of my favorite stuffed animals and the doll my grammy sewed me.”

“Under the bed is like a secret room! Here’s my desk and my figurines. I collect them! I have more in my toybox. That’s on the shelf over here, with my PJs and my bunny slippers. My Red Riding Hood doll is next to that.”

“Here is my dollhouse. I don’t have an actual house, so just pretend, ok? And here is my backpack for school. I’m bringing the new American Girl magazines to show my friends, and scissors so we can cut the pictures out and put them on our notebooks! I’m so excited!”
