Mini Grace Bistro Chairs

Hobby Lobby has mini sized coated wire chairs $2.99.

The mini chairs are available in three colors.

These make for a great bistro scene to an existing round table, or make one yourself out of sturdy cardboard.

*Opening* Mini Macarons

I placed an etsy order for macarons for LADL Grace's Pastry Cart. I wanted more macarons in individual servings because the AG macarons do not separate.

From Echo With Love also has mini sized macarons perfect for mini Grace's La Patisserie.

These fit perfectly inside the bakery boxes.

Make your own heart shaped Valentine boxes.
Our friends over at American Girl Ideas have bakery bags and bakery box printables!

Mini GOTY Grace - New Clothes

Stay close all week for updates on Grace and other mini news!

Sewing for minis can be (and is for me) frustrating! I did manage to make Grace her own mini beret.

I believe Grace's City Outfit is so popular because of the LOVE sweater and cute shorts.  I made my own version along with a black beret for Grace to wear this Valentine's Day.

It's not up to Auntie Robin's standards, but Grace is enjoying wearing it.

*REVIEW* Mini GOTY 2015 Grace Thomas

I was so surprised (and blessed) when I discovered that dear sweet friends of mine, Jenna and her daughter Mollie, gifted mini Grace to me and had her shipped directly to Snickerdoodle Street! Thank you girls so much for the wonderful gift of mini Grace. ((hugs))

Let me say mini Grace is adorable! Her hair is lush and shiny with a cute teeny tiny braid!!.

The outfit is super duper cute, and the boots are my favorite part!! Her freckles are similar to Saige's and those eyes are bright and blue!

Here's a look at the new colored box.

I will be making over the bakery permanently and hope to have it completely done by Valentine's Day. The upper level will become her bedroom, and I'll give the interior and exterior new paint. Luckily the roof is already gray so that saved a step.

Welcome Grace to Snickerdoodle Street.
Thank you Jenna and Mollie!!

*Reader Photos* Mini Grace

 Look at how cute Maria's mini Grace is!

 "I dug out this old generic Barbie sized hot dog cart to display with her and I replaced the snack food that came with the cart with “eraser” food pastries.  The cart is a little big, but it sort of works!  The dog is just the right size for her though!"

Mini Grace's French Bulldog - Resource

Maria has purchased a mini French bulldog for her mini Grace. However we are still waiting for mini Grace to arrive, (today hopefully).

She sends the Amazon link for the bulldog. This is such an adorable idea.

I know Michael's has small animals and you might consider a parrot for mini Cecile or a racoon for mini Kirsten.

GOTY 2015 Grace's Mini La Patisserie

I made a few changes to the bakery in honor of Grace. Currently the upper level is storage, but may become Grace's bedroom.

I "papered" the walls in bright aqua and used white furniture pieces.

I added a sink and an oven; the backdrop is Chelsea's.

The display table serves as an island and is LOADED with goodies. You can begin making mini Grace some food items too!
Fruit pies
Bakery hutch
Donuts
Oven
Birthday cake

There are more treats on the side table and a wedding cake is prominently displayed in the corner by the window.

I didn't want to paint the trim or the door red because this is a revamped version of Snickerdoodle Street Bakery. I may decide to go through with a complete makeover at a later date.

Chelsea and Madison stop by the Bakery to see if they can get a glimpse inside.

 "Oh no, she's not in there!"

 
"What do you think she looks like?" Asks Madison.

 
 "I heard she has dark hair like you."

 "What can you see??? Anything? Anybody?" Kit asks.

"No, just lots of food." Ruthie replies. "She's been busy baking."
 

"I'll bet she's upstairs. I was hoping for an interview!"

*NEWS* GOTY 2015 Mini Doll Placeholder + My GOTY Minis

GOTY 2015 has her own marker for mini doll.

 

I have three GOTY minis - Isabelle, Saige and my custom Nicki.

Saige was the first ever AG GOTY mini doll! She sold so well they continued with this year's Isabelle. I am looking forward to getting all of the GOTY minis as they are released.

I created Nicki using a Kirsten mini, and had to add freckles and sew her meet skirt.

I have upgraded her boots. Originally made from felt they are now more sturdy.
