I've been in kmart Australia this last fortnight, mostly looking for new Our Generation things, and while I'm happy to say the Retro diner has been spotted several times, and is on lay-by, and they've restocked the OG section
So I've checked and wandered off to the stationary/crafty section and found some things that just might work...
Erasers
I've not seen (or maybe noticed) these/this product in Australia before. I've been watching some crafty vids on American Girl Ideas, and might just try to make pizzas and things soon.
With the possibility of a diner coming soon to a doll room near me, these donuts looked just about the right size.
(I think they match the blue material used in a sleepover set, mmm sleeping bag flavor, might have been by Journey Girls).
Macaroons on the box, macarons the current fashionable name. When I was a teen we used to go up the coast for holiday to a place called Hawks Nest. There was a bakery there that sold coconut macaroons, mmm they were so yummy, they were dollops of coconut with got no idea what formed into a mound and baked so they were slightly crisp on the outside and chewier in the middle. Yummo, looking nothing like the current popular treat.
There you go, if you google it there are explanations and they are two different things. So the erasers have been called the wrong thing. Not to worry, out of the box they look like perfect dolly treats.
I wonder if I can make coconut macaroons with puffy paint?
Pencils...
They come in a CD case
I had hoped they would fit in Maplelea Leonie's grippy hand, but are a tiny bit too big, and I didn't want to force them in in case I damaged her.
I've got a bunch of half sized regular pencils, they look massive in comparison
I think Loxy (the fox) wants to play fetch, and if like our boys have donuts as well.
(We donut feed our boys donuts but they will steal anything and give it a go).
Maplelea hands are in between AG and BFC Ink so I think they'll be alright for Leonie anyway.
Cos it's xmas I had to check the Xmas section.
I forgot to photograph these before I broke them, but this was the result. They are Tea Wardrobes. Each about 11 inches tall, with a latch able door
I think the 'glass' front is just plastic. I hammered and chiseled (with a flat blade screw driver) a bit off each, glued them together, hid the hideous scar behind white paint and a piece of red ribbon and slid them into the Twinnies kitchen
Oh, and I think I got the last one, and only one but isn't it cute?
A little real gingerbread house, yep I checked it has ingredients with an allergy warning, so it is edible.
