I did a hard thing today! I saw a lady selling 2 American Girl dolls on Facebook Marketplace, McKenna and Kit. They were $60 apiece, which is a really good price, especially for McKenna.
I really wasn’t in the market for a new doll, but I’ve always heard people rave about how beautiful McKenna is, and since I’ve never seen her in person, I had to check her out.
I did a little research on comparing Elizabeth with McKenna..they are both the Josefina face mold and have the same blue eyes, but McKenna has feathered eyebrows, caramel colored hair that is straight, and a darker lip color.
Well, I got to the lady’s house and saw McKenna, and she was like new…I mean in perfect condition…her hair was absolutely gorgeous, silky, and looking like she had never been touched. The daughter was there and said she never played with the dolls…they just stood on a shelf.
I brought my own Elizabeth doll with me so I could see first hand just how much they looked alike. They were definitely similar but not necessarily “twinsies!” I debated and debated and finally told her as much as I would love to have McKenna, I thought they were just too similar…so I did that hard thing and passed on her. On the way home I was telling myself…”Only buy the dolls that steal your heart!” I was proud of myself… :o)
When I got home I put my $60 back in my drawer, dressed Elizabeth and said, “Let’s see what we can get done today!”
This is what happened in my sewing room today…
The gown is done (I think…) maybe…
Now to move onto the Spencer…
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
