If you follow me on Instagram you have probably already realised that A NEW DOLL has just joined the Australian Girl Fan Family!!
I am so excited and I can't wait to tell you the story behind my gorgeous new doll! I have wanted an American Girl Doll for MANY years, and I am so happy to finally have one for myself!
So recently, Britlyn Madison has been selling some of her gently used American Girl Doll models on her website and she started off with selling JLY #22. As soon as I saw JLY #22, I fell in love with her ... she was so gorgeous and looked just like Caroline Abbott, one of my dream dolls that I hope to get one day when I go to America. However, for some weird reason I ended up not purchasing her.
Fast forward to a few weeks and I am sitting in my school library at lunch break feeling super upset about not getting the doll, even though she was offered for such a great price and would be such a great addition to my doll family. So I log onto my laptop (still at school) and I go on the Britlyn Madison website with the hope of maybe purchasing her later, only to find out that she was already sold ... :(
So flash forward again to a few more hours and I am emailing Britlyn Madison and she says that she has more dolls that look like JLY #22 including Lanie! So I was super excited and waited while she assessed Lanie. Meanwhile, I was thinking that Lanie Holland (GOTY 2010) might be the perfect doll for me ... but when she got back to me the price was out of my range ... :(
However (and here comes the happy ending) She said that she had a JLY #24 that she could sell me for $70! I didn't really know what JLY #24 looked like, but I Googled her and instantly fell in LOVE with her!!!! Now all I had to do was wait for Britlyn Madison to list her and on Sunday, 07/09/14 I purchased my very first American Girl Doll (after waiting for many years). I was, and still am, over the moon!!!
If you're still reading all the way up to here, then you are FABULOUS!! And thank you so much :)
I would so love to thank Britlyn Madison for firstly, her wonderful and truly outstanding customer service ... and secondly for making my dream come true of finally being able to have an American Girl Doll :)
