The Doll Diaries

My Current Collection

I have reached a point where I’m very happy with my collection and I simply don’t have unlimited space, which means I’m picky when it comes to buying any more dolls. But, I have room for more outfits and a few more dolls (if they truly speak to me).

My historical dolls are…

• Samantha Parkington (35th Anniversary version who is photographed above)

I also have a Bitty Twin (brunette girl) named Hailey who was recently added to my collection. If you’d like to see these dolls pictured for reference, you can go to my Instagram or simply Google them.

What are my 2025 collecting goals?

I would love to see American Girl release their new, rebranded Truly Me line (rumored to be released soon) and add one of the new TM dolls to my collection. I’d also love to add more of Caroline’s clothing, Kit’s clothing, Kaya’s clothing, and Julie’s clothing to my collection. I’m also newly obsessed with the retired Bitty Baby/Twin clothing and plan on adding more of that to my collection for my Hailey doll. I will do a separate post for specific collection item goals.
