AGP Denver Isabelle Promotional Store Exclusives

A couple of days ago, my mom, while on business trip, stopped at AGP Denver to pick up some things for me and other people. She told her personal shopper about AGA, The Crazy Life of a Doll, and Nina the Shark Productions, and the personal shopper gave me some free Isabelle promotion items!
 Isabelle's Promotional Tee Shirt! I am so excited to have this! They gave it away at her release, and I love it so much! 
 It has Isabelle's symbol, which is the Anna Hart Dance Company logo, Isabelle Girl of the Year 2014, and polka dots. Everything is sparkly.
There's a tag on the side that says Isabelle and American Girl. It's a bright pink.
 Here's the back.
 Like most AG shirts, it's split in the back and closes with Velcro.
The shirt came with a sheet of paper demonstrating how you can cut the shirt to make different styles.
Here are the styles.
 On the back, it shows the cuts necessary for each style.
 I shudder to think how many AG shirts little girls have destroyed trying to replicate these styles. :(
 One style is a tank, another is an asymmetrical hemline, I have no idea what to call three, or four, for that matter.

I really like this shirt, and my dolls are going to wear it all the time!
 Isabelle Paper Dolls! I am so excited about these! I actually got three sets, but I think I may give the other two away (not on AGA, sorry!). This is the front of the trifold.



 It opens up trifold-style.



 The clothes punch out with perforated lines.
 that sheet lifts up to reveal this one.

 This is the back of the sheet above.

 And this is the back of the entire pamphlet.
 I love these paper dolls so much! They make such a great edition to my AG collection!
Isabelle Poster!!! I LOVE the AG posters, so I was soooo excited to hang the Isabelle one up on my wall! The picture it depicts is the one on the cover of her first book.
 It reads Isabelle and Find a spotlight all your own. 
 Here's a tip; I use poster putty to hang up everything on my walls and my dolls' walls. It doesn't damage the walls or the poster, is easy to remove, inexpensive, and all out easier than tape. You can find it at most, if not all, office supplies stores for $2-$3 (I'm pretty sure;).
 Here's my AG and Frozen wall. I have three AG posters, Saige, Caroline, and Isabelle, and Frozen wall decals that I got for about $12 at a wallpaper and paint store. My Decorative Wall (as I call it) is my second favorite part of my room, behind my dollhouse.
 And here's my dollhouse! I'm not going to go into too much detail about it in this post, but there will be a tour once I fix it up and decorate it :D
 Finally, the PWP BEach Sundress! I love this dress so much, especially on Felicity. It comes with the dress and the bracelet (which can also be used as a hair band).
 The embroidery is gorgeous!
 I just LOVE the bracelet/hair accessory!
 One strap is thick while the other is thin.
 It comes down to Felicity's ankles. It's made of a stiffish green fabric and features a double hem on the bottom.
It opens halfway up the back and closes with a long strip of Velcro.
Felicity looks gorgeous in this dress. It really brings out the green in her eyes.

I'm so happy that I was able to get these exclusive items that few people get. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. Have a great day!

A Crazy Hodgepodge of Scoop and Reviews

 Hello everyone! So, there is a quite a bit of scoop floating around the doll world right now, so I'm going to tell you my thoughts.

NOTE: These pictures belong to agoverseasfan, NOT ME. They are NOT my pictures. Thanks!
 YEP! AG is bringing back Samantha! I'm so excited!

 Here's what new Samantha is supposedly going to look like. The clothes she's wearing are NOT hers and have nothing do do with her. Apparently, she's going to have feathered eyebrows instead of her former line eyebrows.

Honestly, I don't really know how I feel about this "HC revamp". The line, while in need of some attention, is fine as it is.

Also, there have been rumors of the Best Friend dolls retiring. I really hope this is not true. That means saying goodbye to Ivy, Ruthie, and either both or one of Cecile and Marie Grace.

The trademark "Be Forever" has been floating around on AG's Trademarkia, so it may have something to do with the new HC line. They also trademarked "Timeless stories. Inspiring characters. Endless possibilities." That obviously will coincide with the revamp.

I'm just going to wait and see how this all plays out. This could be amazing, like the MyAG revamp in 2010, or a complete failure like the Bitty's.

NOTE: These pictures are from various IG accounts. They are NOT mine. Thanks!

But there's a little more scoop floating around Dollstagram:
 This. In my opinion, she's gorgeous. Everyone, including I, think that she is a new HC to come along with Samantha in the fall. Judging from her dress, she'll be from the 50's or 60's.
 I LOVE her hair! This doll is absolutely adorable! I may want her, but I think I'm just about done getting dolls, but probably not!:D
 I don't like this dress. I mean, it's cute, but I don't know.

On AG Trademarkia, the names Grace and Emmy are trademarked. If her name is Grace, Marie-Grace, and Cecile, will probably go. I wouldn't be surprised; they haven't sold well since they came out. Emmy is the other name. I like it, but not my favorite.

What are your thoughts on this? Please comment down below!

On a different note, the AC Moore in my area was closing, so they had a big blowout sale. And I got some stuff for an amazing price!
 I got the letters A and G to paint and put in my dollhouse, a mini vanity for my mini dolls, some elastic (not shown), and Springfield ballet slippers.
 The vanity is wooden with a drawer and a mirror. It was $0.60.
 The drawer opens and offers plenty of storage.
 The letters were $0.30 each. I would've bought more, but I wanted to buy elastic that day.
 Here is my best deal and most exciting purchase- the Springfield ballet slippers! And for get this- $3.64!
 The back.
 The set comes with an SF Style Ckub code and the ballet slippers.
 The code from the front,
 and the back.
 Here are the shoes!
 When I untied them, there was an explosion of ribbon. The ribbon is a good 6 inches long on each shoe.
 They are made of synthetic silk.
 The sole is harder, so I think it has a layer of cardboard sewn into it.
To lace it up, you just criss-cross the ribbons twice across the doll's legs and tie in a bow. 

These slippers are great quality. I don't think I'd bury them at the full price of $5.99, but if you see them on sale, grab them! I give them a solid 9 out of 10.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this mush of random ideas. Please comment yours below!
