I went to the thrift store today and saw a typewriter. Not a toy one, and not one from the '80s or '60s--I mean an old one, probably from around Kit's time. I would have loved to have purchased the ancient thing (which was in fantastic condition--it even had a leather case!)--but it cost $80! 😐 Now I wish I had at least taken a picture to show you guys.
What do you see that's not from American Girl but still reminds you of Kit? Do you see anything that makes you think of Maryellen, or Felicity, or Addy, or another American girl?
$80 seems about right for a typewriter, when they were new they weren't cheap. When I was in high school the cheapest one was $60 and it wasn't an antique.
My father let me use his typewriter and it was like Kit's so I had it as a child and Kit's typewriter reminds me of that. American Girl items usually remind me of something from my life and not vice versa!! LOL!!
Maryellen's sofa was so similar to my parents sleeper sofa - down to the color!! We had similar snack trays - and I loved TV Dinners even if I didn't eat them until the early 1970s.
When you are young I think the real life items remind you of the dolls - but when you get older the dolls remind you of things you have experienced in your life. Interesting how that works.
