The Other Fantastic Four and a Reminder

Sup! Today we wanted to remind you that our Time Warp Photos are due tomorrow -- Monday October 10th. We have a handful now -- so that is good news. But we'd like more if you guys are thinking about sending one in. We are looking for dolls in historical dioramas or rooms, dolls in historical clothing, dolls in events from history, and so on. If you aren't sure your picture applies to the contest, send it in anyways with an explanation. We look forward to getting your entry!

And of course, the winner of the Time Warp Photo Contest gets a $20 AG gift card.

Twenty. Dollars.

Hopefully there will be a free shipping code soon too....

Anyways, we probably made our point by now. *Wink.

Also up for today's post is an introduction to all of the 1940s girls here at Badger's Wood -- We call them "The Other Fantastic Four."

Penny grew up with a Molly doll and read her collection of books -- which feature her best friends Susan and Linda prominently. When we got the opportunity to make those dolls we did -- Susan is a custom MyAG #23 and Linda is just Chrissa renamed. Convenient! And of course, Emily is Emily since AG made her. Haha.

Then this year we ordered a new Mattel Molly -- our Pleasant Company Molly is very old. She has different coloring, a pudgier body, and she can't stand up anymore on her own (she needs restrung, but we'll never do that for nostalgia's sake - poor girl, haha).

Our new Molly looks more like the other three girls and is happily at home with us now. She is pictured today wearing her Meet Outfit. Meanwhile Linda is wearing a dark navy corduroy jumper from Terri's Touch and a white shirt from Doll Clothes by Evie. Susan is modeling a white shirt and reddish-brown plaid jumper also from Terri's Touch. And finally, Emily is sporting a blue and off-white dress from... you guessed it, Terri's Touch! Terri is our go-to-girl for 1940s wear, but we do have items from a variety of sellers for these girls.

Enjoy these pics and stay tuned for more 1940s clothing and historical info in the coming weeks. We are going to try to do another "Historical Theme Week." We did one last year for the colonial time period. It lasted about two to three weeks and involved a lot of work. We meant to do one every couple months, but it has become an annual thing instead (unfortunately). But we'll keep chipping away at that long list of stuff we want to post about. *Chip, chip, chip. :-)

Slideshow!

Arty shots!

And remember: Send in your Time Warp Photo Contest entries before Tuesday October 11th! :-)
