As a new doll mum, my msd has a limited wardrobe.  The other night when I went to the mall, I did something about that.  The Build A Bear store in the Smith-haven mall DOES have Friends 2 b made items, just not many.  Loolu is currently wearing an adorable turquoise spiderweb-printed witch costume that was only five dollars!  It came with a broom and a hat as well, the hat is a bit too large, but the broom makes a cute accessory.  I also go a black jumper with attached striped tee, haven’t tried it on yet, but for seven dollars, it’s a cute little dress.  It’s a good thing the mall is about forty-five minutes away, now that I know there is a Loolu-sized department in Build-A-Bear.  My cohort who went shopping with me was dismayed at even going in, but being a good friend she put up with me squealling about the msd dresses and even started looking at the toy critters.  The place fascinates me, I’ve never made a critter, but I love watching the machine shove fluff into the bears.

In NYC, there’s a huge build-a-bear and friends 2 be made has a whole shop, so maybe I’ll get to there sometime and give a full report of the cuteness.  I seem to remember it was near Amercian Girl Place, which I didn’t venture into as I’ve outgrown the American Girls dolls, just not too interested in young girl dolls, I like the ladies.  Perhaps one day I’ll sell off my Kirsten and Samantha dolls, both from the late 80’s before the company was bought-out and quality was at an all-time high.  Right now, I beleive the dolls are many states away, tucked safely into a storage closet at my parents’ home, with soo many other things I don’t have space for in our current home.  That’s what made Loolu such a great idea, if I focus on one doll, I don’t mind all the others being packed away due to space limitations.
