TM Spring Flowers Monet Dress

A lovely and new look for this spring?

This dress may be part of the spring Truly Me line up, noting the clear oval vanity tag on the lower hem. 

The impressionistic flower design seems high concept compared to many TM designs and in that respect it is quite visually interesting. Additionally, some have complained AG overuses pinks and purples and should explore other hues, especially green, so this may be welcomed by some fans. 

My one complaint is that it appears this dress is made of the plasticy "parachute" materials which is my least favorite material as it often wrinkly and one irons at their own risk since it melts even at low temperatures!

A matching headband and green sandals complete the outfit.

Somewhat dull sandals--I would have loved a more fabric-strapped sandal to further the light and spring feel. However, these green sandals will finish the outfit well if a bit pedestrianly.

Overall, I am enjoying the surprising design aesthetic of this dress and am eager to see it modeled on some poppets.

Groundhog Day News! Spring Rumors and Releases

Happy Groundhog Day! The critter has officially predicted spring is on the way without delay!

Lea's Three-Toed Sloth was the closest I had to a murmeltier (aka groundhog) to share all the following happy news! Groundhog Day was one of my favorite holidays as a young child--no fuss, just fun songs and crafts about a magical critter who could predict the coming of spring. So how fitting to talk today about all the coming arrivals at American Girl.

Rumored for February 11th at American Girl is the spring release. Social media has reported Truly Me additions of an Ice Cream Stand and Sprinkles Outfit and other summer/sporting outfits. While we will be soon saying an official goodbye to the Bitty Twins, the Bitty Baby line will be getting several spring items during this release. Stay tuned to Poppets & Posies for an AGPSF in-store report!

Looking further ahead, coming March 1st will be Lea Clark's third book, Lea and Camila.

Rumored for sometime this late-spring or early summer will be a NEW line of 16" dolls by American Girl called Wellie-Wishers. Small leaks has led many to believe that Wellie-Wishers will be similar in size (tall and slender) to an earlier line of dolls from AG called Hopscotch Hill. Will this be the doll line in which we finally see the rumored "little brother" doll?

However, what we will not be seeing in the spring release are any BeForever "Limited Edition" outfits and we will have to wait until summer for both Melody and any more Lea Clark outfits or accessories.

And finally, to follow up on an earlier blog post, I received my big Lea purchase--but it is still sitting packed inside of the shipping box. The unboxing will surely be soon! I would have loved to have opened it last month but life and the winter flu temporarily derailed my plans. What is now needed is little bit of Lea sunshine!

Have you heard any other spring rumors? What do you hope to see this spring at AG?
