Collecting Memories When people ask me if I am a doll collector, my answer has always been no. But during a recent stint of housecleaning dedicated to bringing the clutter of my life under control, I realized I had collected more dolls than I thought. In a basket beside my dressing table, I came upon the baby doll given to me by my doting grandmother on the day I was born. Sadly, the doll had been put away during all the years of my childhood because it was thought she was too fragile to play with. Today, her dear face and faded silk bonnet remind me of the grandmother I adored. In a closet, I came upon a box of family movies capturing the Christmas mornings of my childhood. I didn't have to look at them because tucked in my heart is a vivid memory of the time my two sisters and I got baby dolls from Santa. Each doll came with a full layette in matching colors so there would be no mix-up under the tree. The clothes for my baby had been trimmed in blue with ribbons and embroidered bowknots patiently sewn by my mother, grandmother, and aunt during long autumn evenings after my sisters and I had gone to bed. In my top dresser drawer, I found a small, tattered rag doll with a beguiling face. I bought it years ago in an antique store in Vermont, simply because I delighted in some little girl's cherished childhood treasure, crafted lovingly out of scraps from her mama's mending basket.
In my jewelry box, I came upon a miniature doll that fits in the palm of my hand, a gift from my sister Barbara more than a decade ago as a token of good luck when I set out to build the dream that became Pleasant Company. Never could the two of us have imagined back then just how much luck that tiny talisman would bring! And then I tackled the little-used sleeping loft where I found there was, indeed, a small collection of dolls the first American Girls, Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly-with their trunks and beds, their books and clothes. The loft had been named "the plateau" by my goddaughter, Teal, who came there years ago with her friends for overnights with the American Girls. Of course, when my housecleaning frenzy was over and the clutter organized and packed away, the dolls remained next to my dressing table, in the jewelry box, and on "the plateau." I want them there as tender reminders of memories I cherish of people, places, and moments that I love. Am I a doll collector? No, not really. But I would never part with the memories these dolls hold for me. If the dolls we make at Pleasant Company and the books and treasures we create have given you and your American girl even one moment as memorable as my own, then our labors have been repaid a hundredfold. Memories made in childhood and taken forward into our lives warm us for all our days. They leave an indelible mark on our spirit. When it comes to memories, we are all collectors.

Felicity Merriman MEET FELICITY In Meet Felicity, the first of six books in her series, you'll meet Felicity Merriman, a spunky, spritely colonial girl growing up in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1774. Felicity grows impatient doing "sitting down kinds of things" colonial girls were expected to do. She'd much rather be riding her beloved horse, Penny! Felicity's strong-willed struggle for independence matches America's own feisty fight for freedom at the time of the American Revolution. Meet Felicity By Valerie Tripp: 69 pages, with color illustrations Paperback EMP $5.95 Hardcover EMH $12.95 Felicity Doll & Book Your Felicity doll has snappy green eyes that open and close, and silky red hair that curls in soft tendrils around her face. Brush her long wavy hair and gather it with an ivory satin ribbon. She has a huggable, soft body with head, arms, and legs you can pose. She can sit, stand, and hold the charming accessories in her collection. Felicity comes dressed in a flower-striped gown edged in ruffles. Underpants were not worn in 1774, but under the gown there is a simple shift. She wears white wool stockings and black shoes with fancy buckles. Her shoes are "single-lasted," which means they are just alike and will fit on either foot. In colonial times people switched their shoes from one foot to the other so they would wear evenly!! Your Felicity doll comes, as shown here, with a Meet Felicity book.

In Felicity Learns a Lesson, Felicity is sent to Miss Manderly's house to learn to be a polite gentlewoman: She practices elegant penmanship, fancy stitchery, formal dancing, and the proper way to serve tea. Two sisters from England join the lessons. One, Elizabeth, becomes Felicity's best friend. When Felicity's father decides that the king's tax on tea is unfair, he refuses to sell tea in his store or to drink it in their household. How can Felicity continue the tea lessons she loves and be loyal to her father?

Felicity's dark blue teacup and saucer have an elegant fruit pattern on them. There is no handle on the small china teacup, which came from China back then. Put the spoon on the saucer, her cotton napkin in her lap, and pass her a queen cake. Just be sure her loose tooth doesn't fall out when she takes a bite. How embarrassing! ESAL $22 Reading & Writing Lesson Mother taught Felicity to read the alphabet and the Lord's Prayer using the wooden hornbook. Her writing supplies include a quill pen, which she dipped in an inkwell that came from Holland. Felicity sewed paper together to make her copybook, used to practice writing properly.

Felicity spends all her days caring for her, sadly accepting that there will be no chance to go to the Palace- until a glorious surprise reminds her that Christmas- tide is the season when dreams do come true. Felicity's Surprise by Valerie Tripp; with color illustrations Paperback Book; 69 pages ECP $5.95 Hardcover Book; 69 pages ECH $12.95 Christmas Gown & Stomacher This brilliant blue taffeta gown is the one Felicity dreamed of wearing to the Governor's Palace. It's trimmed with blue satin pleating and dainty lace on the sleeves and bodice. Since colonial girls had few clothes, they often freshened up a dress with a new stomacher. Felicity's stomacher has pink ribbons and pearls on it and snaps into the bodice of her gown, creating a new style. The pearl necklace, blue satin hair ribbon, and dainty pinner cap complete the outfit. ECO $22 38291 Invitation & Fashion Doll Imagine the excitement when Felicity received an invitation to the Palace.

Fashion dolls showed colonial women what stylish ladies in England were wearing so they could copy them! ECAD $18 Noah's Ark One special toy was stored away to be brought out only at Christmastide in the Merriman household. Noah's ark with its little figures was Felicity's favorite.

She played shuttlecock and battledore with Nan and William and blew bubbles at the river's edge with a shell and reed.

EAAS $18 Accessory kits are historically accurate reproductions appropriate for children 8 and over. Rescue Kit Felicity knew just how to help Ben when she got his message.

Pocketbooks often contained important papers-Felicity's holds a letter from Elizabeth. EAAN $18

In the plaza at Santa Fe, Josefina saw the U.S. flag for the first time. Its stars and stripes of red, white, and blue were so different from the Mexican flag she was used to.

JWO $22 Adobe Oven & Bread Set Josefina's family did their baking outdoors in an horno (OR-no), an adobe oven shaped like a beehive. To bake bread, Josefina had to start a fire in the horno with a bundle of twigs. Then she opened the horno door, scraped out the hot coals, set a tuft of wool on a wooden paddle, and held it inside. If the wool turned brown, she knew the oven was hot enough for baking! Your horno set includes two loaves of bread-one unbaked and one golden brown.
