My spring vacation memories, part 1: Dallas TX

Hi, i'm Saffron and I had a lot of fun at Dallas! I went to the American Girl store and there are two stories including a bistro (where you can have tea like i did) and a salon where you can either give your doll a FABULOUS hair make-over, a relaxing spa trip or ear piercing! My spoiled doll got her ears pierced. Me and my dad were kind of worried that it would take a long time since the line was very large and the stylists were REALLY taking there time but it really didn't for ear piercing. There was one doll that was there with her big frizzy mane from the time we got in line from the time we got our booth at the bistro!!!
But, besides the stuff like the salon and bistro I really enjoyed looking at the history doll  scenes near the front of the store. Each history doll had at least  2 little glass cases including there most prized outfits and accessories that really make them who they are. I own Rebecca and I really liked looking at the Rebecca scenes. After the salon I enjoyed a pretty good meal at the bistro. I had tea but you can also have lunch and dinner.
At tea you sit at a VERY PINK booth. I loved that they gave your doll a little booster seat!!!!
When you order your drinks they give your doll a little cup with REAL pink lemonade for it's proud owner to sip.  They also give you a little bag with two blank,pink doll-sized party hats and markers,glue,pom-poms and ribbon to create it and decorate it how you want it. I ordered cocoa...best cocoa ever! Then they give you your meal. Your meal comes on a layered stand just like a real tea party!
The food was "okay". The presentation was pretty; star shaped sandwiches, heart shaped brownies etc. but the taste was pretty bland.

I had a lot of fun there! I think you should go sometime, too.

  1. Very descriptive. I am so glad you had a good time. Who is that handsome devil lurking behind the the cakes?

  2. Fascinating review of the American Girl doll store. They should be paying you for marketing their product. I think we 'need' a store in Houston, don't you? Did daddy sip his drink delicately with his pinky lifted? I would like it if they had a feminist doll, although I guess one could argue that many of these doll characters could be considered as such.

  5. I love your blog. I had no idea that salons for dolls even existed. If there had been a place like this when I was a kid I would have LOVED it! Looks like you had a super-cool spring break.
