What is Happening in Sweet Pea Cove (My Doll Town)

I love taking pictures of my dolls! It is so much fun to set up a scene in a realistic way and capture it forever with my camera (even if it is only a phone camera). My dolls are always doing something from bike riding to reading to baking to dancing, something is always going on. That is why I though to share with you what is going on in my doll town. If you have a doll town or love to take pictures of your dolls, too, I would love to see your pictures! Leave the link to your doll pictures below so we can all see some awesome dolly-ness! :-D

Lilian is out riding one of the ponies.

Shola is saying "Hi!" to Nahji and Mosi who are relaxing on the hammock.

"Consuelo, you need to help me bake bread." said Josefina.
"Awww! All we do is bake bread! I just want to rest." says a tired Consuelo.

"Consuelo, you must help Josefina bake bread," said Kaya.
"You aren't helping," Consuelo points out.

"Sure I am! I'm going to eat the bread!" Kaya jokes.


Julie and Ivy are out enjoying the summer sunshine,

"Come on, Ivy! We are almost to the park!" Julie exclaims.

"Good! I need a break! I was made for gymnastics not biking," Ivy said between breaths. 

Mulan, Merida, Aurora, and Tinker Bell are hanging out outside.
"Mmmm! Breakfast smells so good!" Kanani said staring hungrily at the eggs Lanie was making.

"They look so perfect!"

"Kanani, I think you need to calm down," Lanie said as she spooned the warn eggs on a plate.

Addy is busy taking orders at her restaurant.

"What will everyone have?"

Decisions, decisions.....

"Oh, boy! What to get...."

Marie-Grace and Cecile are in the sewing room/ library.

"We need to do something outside today, Marie-Grace. It is so lovely outdoors!"

"Okay... Let me just .... finish... this .... stitch..., "Marie-Grace said, concentrating on her stitching"

Upstairs....

Rebecca is showing Elizabeth a new dance.

Staring contest! GO!

Felicity and Caroline are talking about what products should be available at the General Store.

Emily and Susan are enjoying some fruit in the new breakfast nook.

"But..... I wanted that banana," said Susan, pretending to pout.

Kirsten is making herself a nice cup of raspberry tea.

Molly and Shirley are playing with the puppies.
Thank you for looking! I would love to see your doll pictures. :-)

Our Generation Tent Review

Back in March, I was at Target walking threw the toy section (as always) when I came across a tent for the Our Generation Dolls. Since the Our Generation dolls are 18 inch like my American Girl dolls, I bought the tent so I would have an easy portable tent (plus it was only $14.99 on sale).

When I opened the tent, I was blown away on how easy, portable, cute, and detailed the set was!


I love how the tent is pink and orange. It makes the tent so bright and happy! :-D


The tent has two doors that close with Velcro or you can roll back the flaps so the dolls can get in and out. 


There are also two windows that are covered in white mesh fabric. 


To set up the tent, you just connect the poles together with a connector, slide it threw the knit fabric loops, repeat 3 more times, then connect all the poles together with a 4 way connector. That. Is. It. 
So fast and easy!


The fabric is a little thin and the window fabric edges are not finished but for the price and easiness of the tent it doesn't really matter to me. 


But in this set you don't only get the tent, you also get a sleeping bag, a lantern (it really lights up!), a plate, cup, pitcher, and a stick with a (removable!) hot dog and marshmallow.
WOW!
I love how this set comes with so many accessories!


The tent fits two American Girl dolls very comfortably. The sleeping bag works well, too!


I also decided to test the tent with different sized dolls I have.


All sorts of dolls will fit fine in the tent. it just depends on how you look at it.



The Hearts for Hearts dolls look nice in the tent, as do the Disney Animator dolls.


The Hearts for Hearts doll even have enough room to stand up!



Two dolls fit with some room left over for playing. Three Hearts for Hearts dolls can sleep in the tent comfortably.


The accessories work for the dolls, too. Now they won't starve! :-)



I also tried Barbie dolls in the the tent. The sizing is not perfect but it works if you pretend the test is a 10-15 person tent. ;-)


I could fit 8 dolls in the tent because that is all I had but, I think 10 would fit good (or more if you want to).


 The accessories are big for the Barbie dolls or  the Barbies are too tiny for the accessories....


Overall, the Our Generation Camping Tent set is a fantastic addition to my doll collection. It works great for all different dolls, easy to put together and take apart, and easy to store (everything can fit in the sleeping bag). 


My dolls love it and so do I. :-)
