I had this post all planned out how I was hoping it would go, but then a wrench was thrown in the mix. My sister gave me two of the cutest pairs of shoes for my American Girl dolls for Christmas. Before Christmas, she had sent me some pictures of the most adorable boots and shoes I’ve ever seen on her phone…little yellow and black bumble bee rain boots, red and black rubber boots with flowers on them, purple boots, blue boots, all sweeter than the pair before. The shoes came from the Dollie & Me Outlet store in Gettysburg, PA, but they weren’t exclusive Dollie & Me brands. They were so adorable and so different from anything you can find on most dolly sites. I was thrilled and this is how I played it out in my mind… I was going to call the outlet store in PA and ask if they could send me a couple pairs of shoes for a giveaway or maybe offer a coupon code for my subscribers to get some at a discounted price. The sales clerk that I talked to first sounded so excited which made me excited, but she said she would have to talk with her manager. Well, I tried to patiently wait and I did a little while but finally gave in and decided to call her myself. She told me there were no pictures of the shoes and boots that she could send me and didn’t know of any way to offer anything to anyone. I was SO SO disappointed…not for myself, but for you all!
If you go on the Dollie and Me website you will see the little girls outfits and with each one you get a free 18″ doll outfit. There are some cute little sets on there. If you go down to the bottom of the page you’ll see a category called Dollie Accessories. If you click on it, you’ll see the shoes, but they aren’t the “cute” ones like I was telling you about. They don’t advertise them on their site because they aren’t their brand. So my post will only feature the two pairs of shoes that my sister sent me…(Boo Hoo!)
Like I said, I had this all planned out in my head….there would be giveaways, and discounts and maybe they’d even want to sponsor my blog…but I guess not! I have my two pairs and have none to offer you…Sorry, but I’m keeping these.
DON’T FORGET: Tomorrow I’ll be drawing out 2 subscriber names and those 2 winners will receive a pair of fingerless gloves for their American Girl doll. I’ll do the drawing at 10pm tomorrow evening to give everyone all day to become a “last minute subscriber!” You can read all about it HERE. I’ll announce the winners in my blog post Thursday!
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
Those shoes are just adorable. I have not heard of this brand before. I will have to check them out. 🙂
Hi Christine,
I wish I had been able to get a few pairs for a giveaway…maybe at a later date I can. Sorry, but you won’t be able to find what I have at their site as they don’t advertise them…only “their” Dollie and Me shoe brand.
Blessings, Jeanne
Sorry your idea didn’t work out. It was a great idea anyway, Jeanne. Those shoes are adorable!!! If I see those somewhere else (or other cute ones) I’ll let you know.
Hi Cindy,
Yeah, well…that’s what happens when you have big ideas… sometimes they don’t work out. I need to get something made to go with those shoes so I can show them off. Thanks for keeping an eye out, Cindy.
Blessings, Jeanne
Well, Jeanne, that first pair of shoes is adorable! I have yet to see those shoes anywhere, and I love that they actually buckle–no velcro! I guess I have to win them!! I am familiar with Dollie and Me clothes, because I have gotten a few for my granddaughters, but never have I seen those shoes anywhere, not even on Ebay! Cute find, and so sorry your original plan didn’t work out. Are you sure your sister doesn’t mind you giving them away? If not, she is a very sweet person—-like you!
Hi Linda,
I’m glad you think the shoes are adorable, but I’m sorry to tell you, I never meant to imply that they were going to be given away. I actually added one little sentence at the end of where I said, “I guess I’ll just show you mine…” They were a gift to me and are for my dolls to fuss over. I might have to see if my sister could pick up some more for me… THEN I can do a giveaway. I’m so sorry to disappoint you Linda.
Blessings, Jeanne
Oh, no worries Jeanne! I just misread your sentence, that’s all. I do have more than enough shoes for my dolls anyway, why am I obsessing over more shoes? Well, I guess because I’m a crazy doll lady, I suppose! LOL
Linda,
You aren’t crazy.. my dolls have WAY more shoes than I have! They can never have enough can they?
Blessings, Jeanne
The black/white shoes are ADORABLE! I love the little rhinestones.
Hi Raina,
I like those a lot too! I think they look so old fashioned…
Thanks, Jeanne
