Since I'm dog sitting at my parents', I have the chance to search through my old boxes. One of my forgotten treasures, is my American Girl doll, Kirsten. Kirsten entered my life when I was eight, which means that I've had her for twenty years! Kirsten was a cherished companion and I always tried to take great care of her. So, to reopen her box and see her lying there waiting for me- forgotten, pulled at my heart strings.
Being one of the original American Girls, Kirsten was retired this year from the company. I know it's silly, but that made me really sad, but perhaps I should look at it as a privilege. That I was lucky enough to have Kirsten in my life, even if she won't be there for the next generations to come.
Did you have any cherished dolls or toys growing up? Do you still feel a connection to them?
So in honor of Kirsten's retirement, I thought I would share with you two of her sartorial spring hits...
Isn't she amazing!? How bad do I want her red boots and boater hat!
I'll have to find the original, but here's a small photo of Kirsten and I in 1990-
