With a new year, comes a new American Girl ‘Girl of the Year’. This years limited edition doll is Grace Thomas. Tying in well with my newest AG giveaway, Grace is a baker and a young entrepreneur. Her story begins when she takes a family vacation to Paris, which is why there are a handful of France themed accessories to go along with her! Here’s a few photos, taken from American Girls website.
Grace with extra accessories
Grace has a really cute face! I like the blue eyes and brown hair combination a lot. She also has one of those feature I love on dolls– freckles!

There are a number of new outfits themed around Grace. My favorite is her City Outfit. I think her travel coat is super cute, too. These two pieces are things I would consider ordering for my own American Girl dolls, if Mattel didn’t make these girls smaller in size over the years. (Current AG outfits fit too tightly on my Pleasant Company dolls.)

I’m a sucker for doll sized cooking supplies and venues, so it should come as no surprise how much I like Grace’s play sets and accessories. There is a major problem with most of Grace’s accessories, though. They’re very expensive. The French Bakery, for example, is $500.00! Yes, it comes with over 60 accessories, but it better come with a doll, too, to warrant that price! That’s way too much for an American Girl play set.

This Bistro Set is also over priced, I think, and costs $85.00.

Even this Baking Set costs $68.00.
