Surprise Morning Treat
Xyra
was up a little earlier and prepared breakfast tea. Twinings pomegranate black
tea with peanut butter and blackberry preserves sandwiches.
Special
sandwiches too! Check out those shapes!
How
did she do that? Cookie cutters.
Xyra
found these at the Foose Cookie Cutter Company in Fleetwood , PA.
I
didn’t think I’d put milk in the tea, but after the first sip…it needed
something. As it turns out, this is one that would make fabulous iced tea. It
was much better when it cold than hot.
Samantha Parkington
In
1986, three Historical Character dolls launched a renewed love of dolls. Kirsten
Larson (1854), Samantha Parkington (1904), and Molly Maguire (1944). AG started
retiring Samantha in 2008 until her collection sold out in 2009. They announced
Kirsten’s retirement in 2009; her collection sold out in 2010.
Samantha
represents girls from the Edwardian Era. Some people say Victorian. She was
born in the Victorian Era, but Queen Victoria
There
is one outfit from her collection that I really liked and love to wear. Some
know it from the book Samantha Saves the Day or as Samantha’s Summer Outfit. When
I saw it in the catalog it was Samantha’s Middy Outfit.
Think
about what you wear in the summer. Now look at this picture again…I bet you’re
glad fashions have changed! I know I am. J
The
outfit included the long-sleeved dress with drop waist, pleated skirt, and
sailor styling; tam (the hat); and high button shoes.
I’ve
worn this one several times (even for Halloween). It fits well and looks good. It is the only item I
collected from Samantha’s collection. I’m certain there were other things in it
I would have liked, but this was my favorite. You can see the rest of her
collection here: http://americangirl.wikia.com/wiki/Samantha%27s_Collection

Have
a great day!
