My family and I are in Boston for the summer and attended the American Girl Red Sox Event. They played the Tigers.
Kanani was chosen to go as our ambassador doll. She loved
it. We did her hair and used ribbon from our favorite ribbon store
Walmart. This was because we did not buy VIP tickets so no hair salon
for Kanani.
We bought a baseball bat ink pen, a souvenir Fenway Park
spoon, earrings which do not fit dolls only humans and a post card to
write about our event to Grandma eventually.
Later took
photos with #46 to showcase goodies. Again, Kanani is
proving that you can dress her in anything and not have to pay a
fortune. I love that she is our ambassador doll!
We got doll shirts with the tickets. Great shirts that come
with a coupon for a doll baseball hat and discount to the AG Hair
Salon.
We
went to the craft room there at Fenway Park set up as a crafting room
where you could do actives with your doll. There AG gave us a new July/ Aug AG magazine, notebook to sketch in, doll sized sketch book and two sheets of stickers.
As promised here is Kanani in the Softball Set. It is currently on sale and worth every penny.
The helmet is my
favorite. It is made from durable plastic and has the iconic AG star
and logo. The whole uniform is so bright and sporty. I love these colors
for summer and I can almost see Kanani playing for her school team with
these cool, tropical, sunset colors.
The ball and bat are plastic, but
the ball is well made and has a rubber type feel. The cleats and socks
are adorable as well as the two hair accessories you get. The best part
is the charm for the former MyAG necklace. The bead matches Kanani's
theme perfectly!
I hope for
others who are looking for things for Kanani and other dolls, consider
this nine piece set. It is well worth the price for all that it comes
with.
This is a quick tutorial, but first a quick look at the real Shaved Ice Stand from Kanani's collection.

I am having fun with all of the Kanani projects and items from her collection.
I do not have the My Life As...Snack Stand I made this one myself using a cardboard box, paper towel tubes and embellishment. Easy project!
I was shocked I found this outfit complete! It's one I really wanted too.
I've tucked in the Aloha shirt so you can see the fabric belt. This set was obviously from a collector because it's in like new condition.
The denim capris have elastic in the back and a real fly with velcro closure.
I also bought the life vest in a separate auction on its own, you can see it on the video. I really love this outfit, you can mix and match all of the pieces - BONUS!
