Michael's Crafts Haul

I've never looked at Michaels for doll things before! What was i thinking?!?! 

So the whole reason I went to Michael's was to find jewelry storage for my dolls. I thought this beading container would be perfect. For $12, even if it didn't hold everything it would be better than what I had.

It has a huge number of little compartments. I combined the small compartments in here with some other small ones I had and took out some of the medium-size ones.

I think my dolls have more jewelry than I do. Well, not quite but they have a lot.

Next I found this tiny little MacBook air prop. It's really a small mirror and cost $5.

So realistic! Now all I need is some screenshot static clings. 😉

These little white espadrille sandals fit the dolls perfectly. Will be a great mix and match item. Think they were about $4.

So this outfit was only about seven dollars for the T-shirt and skirt. It's purple. I couldn't resist.

Great pieces for mix-and-match.

This one was $10.

I love the yellow and the fabric is supersoft.

So there you have it. Watch for these outfits and upcoming blog posts!

How I Display and Store

If you have AG, collect, AG, etc. One thing you find out quickly is that organization is important! Here is how I currently store and display my collection. 

It's a larhe armoire with 2 drawers. I can get five dolls across and have the depth for three risered rows if i choose. 

The two shelves are removable and adjustable. Hair and other snall accessories are stored in Rebecca's chest on the top shelf by the animals. 

Each drawer holds clothes. The top one houses historical outfits each in its own ziplock bag labeled with a picture and  name of the outfit. Same system for the modern clothes in the bottom drawer. 

Each character has a labeled divider so all her outfits stay together.

Its not perfect yet, but it is a nice safe place for my collection. It even had doors i can close to protect the girls from small children. 

Its a work in progress for sure, but right now its working well.
