The Society of American Girl™ Collectors presents the new product news!
Elizabeth Previews
First, a big thank you to all those on the American Girl Fans message board who provided Elizabeth and Felicity information for this newsletter!
Elizabeth previews: There will be exclusive Elizabeth previews at American Girl Place Chicago on July 30th and at American Girl Place New York on July 31st and August 1st. Word is that these previews, although free, required tickets and are already "sold" out. Members of the American Girl club will get to see Elizabeth a month early, starting August 1. She will be widely available September 1st.
Preview Elizabeth's book on amazon.com!

Elizabeth and Felicity's Collections
News leaking from private shoppers at American Girl Place tells us that Felicity and Elizabeth will get the following items: new tea gowns and tea items (Felicity's dress possibly yellow), a covered carriage set, new coats, Patriot the pony, a stable set, a bed for Elizabeth, a governor's palace gown for Elizabeth, a night table and accessories, a redesigned clothes press said to hold dolls, a blue riding habit for Elizabeth, Elizabeth's night shift, Elizabeth's accessories which include a pinner cap, pearl necklace, fan, and earrings; and possibly more. Re-released Felicity outfits will be the green riding habit (not sure if it will be exactly the same as the first), Noah's ark, and guitar. Keep in mind that although this came from American Girl Place, it is still officially rumor at this point--but exciting rumor! It all sounds wonderful!!!
New "Modern Historical" Outfits
Following in the footsteps of Kaya's Jingle Dress and Fancy Shawl Outfits of Today, AG has created three more "modern historical" outfits: A Pow-Wow Outfit of Today for Kaya, an African Dance Outfit of Today for Addy, and an Irish Step-Dance Outfit of Today for Nellie. For pictures and prices, see the
