AGPChicago Displays

Display 1: Kaya, A daring Adventurous Nez Perce Girl

Kaya'aton'my ~ Salmon River Country (Present-Day Idaho, Washington, and Oregon) ~ 1764

Display 2: Felicity...This display is so small that they didn't even bother include her saying "A spunky, spritely colonial girl". (She barely has anything because this was back when they were retiring her orginal collection). She is not retired now, but her new collection is nothing like her old collection.

Felicity Merriman ~ Williamsburg ~ 1774

Display 3: Josefina, "An Hispanic girl of Heart and Hope"

Josefina Montoya ~ A Ranch near Santa Fe ~ 1824

Display 4: Kirsten, a Pioneer Girl of Strength and Spirit

Kirsten Larson ~ Minnesota ~ 1854

Display 5: Addy, A Courageous Girl of the Civil War

Addy Walker ~ Philadelphia ~ 1864

Display 6: Samantha, her saying "A Victorian Beauty, an Orphan Being Raised By Her Wealthy Grandmother", the saying wasn't up probably because they had an advert for her movie up instead.

Samantha Parkington ~ Mount Bedford, New York ~ 1904

Display 7: Kit, A Bright Spark In The Dark Depression

Kit Kittredge ~ Cincinnati ~ 1934

Display 8: Molly, A Lovable Schemer and Dreamer

Molly McIntire ~ Jefferson, Illinois ~ 1944

Doesn't seeing these old photos from 2004 make you jsut ache for all the things that are now retired?! *giggle*

AGPChicago Dolls & Cafe

Here are the doll and book displays at American Girl Place Chicago.

This first one is Samantha, 1904, followed by Kit, 1934, and Molly, 1944. Samantha was hot stuff at American Girl in 2004, with a new movie coming out. She is now retired.

Here is Josefina, 1824. You also see Felicity, 1774, on the left side but I took a seperate photo of her.

Here is the Kirsten, 1854, doll and book display (Kirsten is now retired), and next to her is the lovely Addy, 1864. I had gone to AGP totally wanting Addy but bought Samantha instead because of all the movie hype going on.

Here are the doll and book displays for Kaya, 1764, and Felicity, 1774. They look good together.

Okay here is a really bad picture of me (yuck) with my mommy at American Girl Place Chicago, eating at the Pink and Black Cafe. I did not have Nellie yet at that time, I just borrowed her. They have sort of um...doll escorts there...lol...who can sit at your table if you did not bring a doll with you. Poor Nellie, I knew she was poor but I did not think she would end up working an escort service.

Here is an overview photo of the cafe that we took...if you look in the lower righthand corner you can see the other doll escorts waiting LOL.
