It did not take us long before we "upgraded" to our first American Girl doll. Her first doll was Samantha and she took such good care of that doll. As she was busy mothering her dolls I was busy buying clothes and shoes and all kinds of adorable things that I just could not resist. I really found alot of great items on ebay and that is how my business began. With the thought of "Hey, if they can do this, why can't I" So I spent endless hours on the computer investigating until I was ready to open my ebay business. That is how A Girls Treasure www.mytreasures.biz began. I still run my ebay business and now have the website as well. Now as far as my daughter, her collection has grown a bit as well. We have of course added Nellie to the mix for Samantha. She has a Girl of Today and she has added Jess. If she is well behaved she will recieve Nicki this year for her birthday. So for those of you that have dolls and are hooked like we are, all I can say is shop at stores like mine where you can find decent well made clothes for substantially lower prices than you will find at the American Girl Store!! You can find me at www.mytreasures.biz For those of you just getting started. It really is a wonderful hobby for the girls. The imaginary play that goes along with dolls is wonderful to watch. It is amazing to see how they really act out little scenes of things just like you would do things. Enjoy those moments with them. They go so fast.
