Madame Alexander dolls I’m also interested in selling/swapping:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First is Big Sister Wendy (she does come with the doll and story book accessories, as well as her original box!). Her hair is messy from play-wear, but otherwise she is in clean condition.
Second is Pink Ballet Class - obviously she has been very well loved. Her hair has come out of the original buns and is tied back with a shiny elastic string. The skirt tulle deteriorated and was replaces with a partial handmade lace skirt. She does still have the original leotard, tights, sweater and shoes. Can be used for play, customizing, or restoration.
Again I am open to swapping and negotiation! Both of these are also on my ebay with mor pictures. Please DM me if interested!

I went from only two winter coat sets to having a lot more cold weather wear. Since I sold Samantha's Beforever coat, everything except for Rebecca's outfit is new.
Went with the calico dress for Julie since she wore the casual outfit a few months ago. Also since I had Kaya wearing her winter accessories previously, she gets to wear the fancy shawl this time.
The hardest to dress was Kirsten because her fingers kept catching the sweater. Hardest to pose was Maryellen, whose skates I think have permanently scratched my dresser.
It was a close race between Kirsten’s winter woolens and skating outfit, but Lindsey’s Valentine’s party outfit had a strong lead all the way.
