The Journey Begins....

Hi There!
I'm Athena and welcome to A World of Character! This is a blog to look at the lives of our beloved American Girls after they leave the shelves and enter our lives. I'm beginning my journey as an American Girl collector and I am so happy you are here with me. My plan is to use this space to discuss anything and everything American Girl. Dolls, books, Hairstyles, clothes, accessories, fan theories, etc.
Thank you for joining me as I embark on my adventure into the lost levels of American girl. As a child I encountered the literary adventures of Samantha, Felicity etc. Samantha will always hold a dear place in my heart as Anna-Sophia Robb won me over in Samantha: An American Girl Holiday. I'm looking forward to expanding my collection and with sharing my thoughts with all of you.

Lea's Hair Care

Hey it's Athena. Since my American Girl accessories order came in earlier in the week, I thought I would take some time to play with Lea's hair. So here are my thoughts and, more importantly, tips for taking care of and styling the gorgeous tresses of Lea Clark. Firstly there are 2 must have tools for taking care of Lea's hair. 1: Hair Pick (Such as the Sparkly Hair Pick by American Girl. Note: You can use your regular doll hairbrush as they have similar wire bristles, but you will have to attempt to much gentler. 2: A spray bottle filled with water or Smoothing Spray by American Girl. A bottle of spray comes included with the Ready to Style Hair Care Kit. Note: if you don't spray the hair before brushing it out you may find the dolls hair becomes frizzy and hard to style. Lea's hair looks really daunting, but unlike Rebecca or Lanie's curls, Lea's hair is much more wavy rather than extreme ringlets. So I started...

First Addition

I adopted Lea Clark today. She came from a good loving home where she was loved gently mind you. Her friend decided that she would like an apple watch and therefore it was time for Lea to move on to a home that would love her as unconditionally. She was never played with and even her mom said she would be devastated if she thought someone else was going to be playing with her. I assured her that Lea would be loved and cared for as gently as she had. Lea has the most beautiful sunkissed hair you've ever seen. In time I will buy her a camera so she can continue to live her dream. ~Athena~

Yay It's Order Day!

Hey Guys! I picked up my order this afternoon. I love getting my online orders; it's like a Christmas gift to yourself. Even though you know what's inside, it's always exciting to open. When I purchased Lea Clark, I ordered a number of American Girl starter/must haves. A hair care essentials kit, a hairbrush, a doll display stand and a sparkly hair pick. I learned one thing though: The ready to style hair care kit comes with a hairbrush so I could have saved 9.00. Oh well, a spoiled doll can use an extra right?  Lea is nice and snug in her new stand and we can't wait to give her beautiful locks some TLC.  ~Athena~
