Blaire’s Family Farm Restaurant
Blaire loves testing recipes in her mom’s restaurant kitchen and blogging about their cooking adventures on the farm’s website. They use fresh ingredients that they grow on their family farm!
Includes lots of food for playtime: A wooden open-air restaurant and kitchen with a service window so waiters can bring dishes out to guests, A reversible floor with faux grass for dining on one side, and a dance floor on the other, A farmhouse sink cabinet for washing dishes, A double-oven stove with a storage cabinet for cooking up delicious dishes, A farmhouse-style table and two green benches for dining, Pale-blue flour canister and sugar canister, Pretend iron sauce pan and copper stock pot, A mixing spoon for stirring, Freshly made cornbread and a baking pan that fit inside the oven, Salt and pepper shakers, A pretend chef’s knife for chopping ingredients, A bottle of olive oil for drizzling, Garnish stickers for the plates, A wedge of parmesan cheese and a cheese grater, Six eggs in a carton, A vase with a bouquet Blaire picked from her garden, Four placemats, menus, metal forks and knives; a dinner plate set; four drink glasses; and four dessert plates, Two reversible posters for decorating the kitchen, Two pretend string lights that hang from the pergola, A three-tiered service cart with a removable serving tray for bringing food from the kitchen, A stacked caprese salad, Fresh-baked bruschetta, Fettucine noodles and a salmon fillet, A gourmet baked pumpkin with a fried egg inside, A bowl of chocolate ice cream, and A slice of lemon cake. That is a lot of accessories and it shows in the price tag. It comes in at a whopping $300!
It is adorable! As delicious as sweets and desserts are, I am glad this set has other actual food items as well. I love the copper accessories, the double oven and that farmhouse sink! I love it! I don’t really have a need for the actual restaurant/pergola or the floor piece though so I am not sure if I will actually get it or not. Trying to get all those accessories on eBay will add up though so I will have to give it some more thought.
Blaire’s Party Decor
Blaire wants to make sure Cat’s farm wedding decor looks just as beautiful as the bride. Includes: An arbor that stands at the entrance of her family’s apple orchard, which Blaire decorates with a set of hanging fans and sheer lilac curtains, A fancy three-tiered cake with floral icing, three cake toppers, and two cake pieces that can be served to guests, A copper-colored cake plate, 2 matching metal forks, and a metal cake server, Two dessert plates with “Love” graphics, A tall white table with a lilac-colored drape and copper bow, A freshly picked bouquet with a ribbon wrap that Blaire holds as a junior bridesmaid, and A heart-shaped wish notepad with tear off pages to write the bride and groom special notes and a wish vase to hold flowers or notes. This set sells for $85.
I love the copper accessories and that wedding cake is too cute! As cute as it is, this is another set I am not sure if I will get as well. Space at my house is at a premium so I will have to think long and hard about it.
Camp American Girl Hangout
Going to summer camp is a great way try new things and gain confidence. American Girl dolls can have fun—and make new friends—at this camp cabin! It has four curtains that hang from the bright blue roof and can be tied back or closed, bright berry railings, and stairs that lead up to a space that fits two 18″ dolls. Plus, it comes with plenty of activities to keep campers happy: Two bright-blue cushions and two ombre camp pillows perfect for relaxing (or for sleeping under the stars!), A sparkly teal knit blanket for staying cozy, A camp notebook filled with idea-starters for activities and a notebook with pencil for journaling, A schedule to hang up so campers know what’s coming for the day, Repositionable stickers with decorations for the wall and “tape” for hanging a double-sided poster and three fun photos, A mini abridged version of the book Friends: Making Them & Keeping Them, A pretend reversible chalkboard sign for writing friendly notes, Two game cards with bingo on one side and a word search on the other, A set of 28 dominoes to play with, A crate to use as a game table or for storage, Make-believe Jiffy Pop® popcorn to share with friends, Two speckled camp cups for sipping, A pair of binoculars to spot birds or other wildlife, A lantern that really lights up for nighttime games, A camp flag to fly from the roof, and A pink-and-white jump rope that dolls can really hold. This set retails for $185.
The fun and bright color scheme as well as the camp theme definitely appeals to me. However, I can make the pillows and purple cushions. I also already own AG size dominoes, binoculars, camp cups, jiffy pop, and jump rope. I can also easily make the hangout (if I had the room, which I don’t) as well as the crate, posters, schedule and any of the other paper goods. So as cute as it is I will probably just try to get the lantern, the mini book and a green sparkly blanket or two from eBay.
Camp American Girl Campfire Set
When the sun sets at summer camp, American Girl dolls can relax with this set: A pretend fire pit that lights up and plays crackling campfire sounds and three camp songs. Use the cord to attach your own device to play your own music!, A bench that seats two dolls by the fire pit, Two roasting sticks the dolls can hold over the “fire” to cook hot dogs, Two hot dogs on buns to serve on two speckled camp plates, A pink tie-dye-print blanket to keep warm on chilly nights, A yellow flying disc with a camp graphic for dolls to toss, An acoustic guitar with a striped guitar strap so dolls can “play” songs, Removable stickers for decorating the guitar, and A mini music booklet filled with music and song lyrics for a campfire sing-along! This sells for $75.
I love that log bench, however, I do wish they hadn’t put the logo on it. I have a My Life As camp fire, an Our Generation camp fire and an American Girl camp fire so I don’t really need another one. But this one is so cute! I can see it set up in a patio or back yard scene as well as a camping scene. I can always use more hotdogs on a stick and hotdogs on a bun though. Most likely I will buy this at some point. Probably when it goes on sale or with some American Girl Rewards.
Camp American Girl Essentials
American Girl dolls will be happy campers with this set! A tie-dyed camp tee with a knot at the front, Two adjustable friendship bracelets in rainbow colors, A handy compass for staying on the right path, A pretend flashlight that dolls can really hold, Three camp-themed postcards that fit inside a frame and a pretend pencil to write home, A frame that she can decorate with reusable camp stickers, and A fun scavenger hunt with a map of the camp on one side and list of things to do on the other. This set sells for $25. While this set is cute I really only want the tee shirt and the pretend pencil so maybe I will pick this up for cheap at a future Benefit Sale. Otherwise I will probably pass on it.

American Girl dolls will look fresh as a daisy in this outfit, featuring: A dress with a floral print and a bright blue ribbon at the waist, A barrette with three sparkly rhinestones for her hair, A pretty beaded bracelet for a pop of color, and Platform sandals with crisscross straps.

I love this set! I struggle with buying it because I could make a similar dress but I am a sucker for tiny shoes and hair accessories.

American Girl dolls are sure to have sweet-treat dreams after their nighttime campfire in these pajamas, featuring: A tunic-length pajama top with a s’mores graphic that has glow-in-the-dark marshmallows!, Legging-style pajama pants with an all over campfire s’mores print, Faux-suede moccasin slippers to keep her toes toasty.
