The Portion of my Inheritance

In preparations for our summer Hungary mission trip, April and I have decided to do silent auctions over the span of 6 weeks. Every other week we will put out 2-4 baskets that our church family will bid on.

Next Sunday kicks off the basket auctions and my basket is filled with all things American girl. My precious friend Anne has added her expertise in the making and creating, as you will soon see, the most amazing American Girl clothing and accessories imaginable. I was completely blown away this morning when she handed me a box filled with her awesome treasures. Anne gave the best of herself for our trip and I was beyond thrilled with her contributions.

I will start with Anne’s creations. I promise you that you will want to take up girlhood once again when you see what she has done. I do confess that I had the best time dressing up my doll* and doing this photo shoot, but shhhhh, our little secret.

Now what little girl would not want to spend time cooking with her American girl doll?  This wonderful set also includes an oven mitt, bowl, cookie cutter, grater and tea towels.

Next comes the softest, most snuggly pajama and robe set. The robe is white minky fabric and is super yummy! Does this come in my size Anne?

Summer is upon us, and who wouldn’t want to own this awesome short set with the most adorable white sneakers?

This awesome sun dress comes with a matching headband and the coolest sun shades framed with diamonds. The purse is adorned with sequins across the front and is the perfect accessory to this little set.

Can I just say bravo to Anne! Each of these outfits are amazing and the hand work is exquisite!

Also in the basket comes a few knitted pieces and some of my own hand sewing work.

The pink knitted dress and sweater are 100% wool and will keep your American girl doll warm on the chilliest of nights.

Also on the knitting side of things is a pleated knitted jumper, with a sewn white cotton shirt. Topped of with a matching knitted beret.

Let’s journey back to the colonial days with Felicity, with this 5-piece colonial dress and under garments.

In the days of American girl doll Kit, a simple little dress is the perfect outfit to search out the perfect story for the newspaper.

Smocked baby doll pajamas for a summer night, but just in case it gets a little nippy you can cover your American girl up with a pieced quilt and a minky pillow.

To top off this American girl basket there is a Kit book and 4 movies; Kit Kitridge, Samantha, Molly and Felicity.

This basket is valued at nearly $400
