Okay, so this isn't a very exciting post, but we wanted to list the vote numbers so everyone would know our plans for any future Doll Giveaway. And we wanted to report on which time period our little Rebecca will be living in. :)
For our "Which Doll Should We Give Away Next?" polls, here is the final tally's top numbers:
Rebecca - 59 votes
Sonali - 44 votes
Ivy - 39 votes
Ruthie - 33 votes
#21 - 33 votes
Josefina - 24 votes
#29 - 21 votes
With the upcoming new JLY release on September 3rd, your "wants" may change for doll giveaways, but we'll stick to Rebecca as our next giveaway at some point. ;)
As far as our own Rebecca, 45 of you wanted her to live in the modern time period with me, Nora- so your wish is granted! She will now be Rebecca Isaacke- a school chum of us Demington sisters!
She has been renamed Rebecca Isaacke (instead of Rebecca Rubin) as a tribute to the first documented Jewish woman in the Virginia colony, and hence one of the first Jewish women to live in what would eventually be the United States of America.
In the future our Rebecca will be modeling some modern clothing here at The Doll Wardrobe- probably some nice Back-to-School autumn outfits - in recognition of her new identity. :)
Thank you for voting in the polls everyone!

Terristouch 1900s Purple Dress for Samantha
Welcome to September!
I hope the month has been treating everyone well so far... even if it is back to school time. ;) I can't say that I was too excited to return to school. Even though I got to advance a grade, it now means more homework for me. :P
Luckily for today's model she is retired and no longer has to go to school. Heehee. Yes, I am of course referring to Samantha Parkington who you see in this post. She gets to lounge about in the "American Girl Archives" all day and all night relaxing with our puppies and drinking pink lemonade.
Samantha was particularly excited this summer when she heard she would be getting a few new dresses from Etsy seller Terristouch. Today's frock is a beautiful dark purple drop-waist dress with a wide white collar with inset lace. My favorite part of the dress is the pleats on the skirt portion; they are perfect!
Our girl looks fantastic in this dark color, but there is also a light blue version still available from Terri. If you'd like to see it please click here. No matter the color, it is a wonderful dress with beautiful details. Also I think it could work for either Samantha or Rebecca's time period.
On Friday, I will return with the official introduction post to Signorina Connie Bonacorsi, our new 1950s girl!
p.s. As a side note, we wanted everyone to know that some new American Girl Merchandise will be released in the stores and online tomorrow Thursday, September 3rd. Keep an eye out for the new goodies! (I think Derek will be hiding Penny's wallet tomorrow at some point....heehee.)
p.p.s Do y'all like it when I start with a photo at the top of a post (like this one) or with all the photos at the bottom of the text? We have been trying something new this week and wondered what you guys think of it. Please feel free to comment on your preference. ;)

Hogwart's Uniform Winner Announced!
Congratulations to Cassie M who said:
"My favorite part about going back to school is feeling really good about myself. I work really hard every summer to change the things I don't like about myself or my bad habits. When I go back to school, I feel like a new person and yet the same old Cassie. New school clothes and supplies are definitely one of the best parts too! Plus who doesn't want to go back to see their old friends. I think going back to school, for me, means starting a new, better part of my life."
Cassie, please email me at adventuresinag@gmail.com with your mailing info within 7 days. If you are under 18, have a parent or guardian email me. Congratulations!
