Samantha’s Historical Case at American Girl Place Chicago

So, I realized that there are still a bunch of photos from my American Girl Place Chicago trip that I have not posted. Below is a picture I took the first weekend in May – just prior to the release of Rebecca. The historical vignette case from the Samantha collection was the last piece of her display to be removed from the store. I was told it was about to be removed so it could be replaced by the Rebecca display.

Historical vignette case from American Girl Samantha collection

I love these vignette’s they do for each of the historical dolls. It really helps tie together the actual history and items of the time period with the dolls and their stories.

More of my photos coming soon!

    I don’t think they should have removed all of Sam’s displays, but I guess they needed more space.

    I wish they could’ve kept her display, just … I mean, they’re almost acting like she died or vanished!!

    I loved Sam’s bridesmaid gown. It’s my favorite AG outfit ever.

  13. Lily on June 28th, 2009 9:33 pm

    . . . and my Samantha is wearing it right now. I’m glad I bought it before it was retired.

  14. Sara on June 28th, 2009 10:27 pm

    Ya, I love that outfit so much!!! Now I lost the DVD of her movie!!!!! :( And I really want to watch it!!!!!! :(

  15. Anne on June 28th, 2009 11:06 pm

    Really? I don’t really like that outfit for some reason, thought the movie version was beautiful!

  16. AG&FAN on June 28th, 2009 11:18 pm

    I wish AG actually hadn’t even retired Sam and still released Beckie! Sam&Nellie were so beautiful!

    Phooey,the last Samantha display case makes me so sad… I loved those display case,with windows. They were so like ones in museums-maybe even better.

  17. Sara on June 28th, 2009 11:36 pm

    I agree!!!! I loved looking at those when I went to Chicago!!!! I loved Julie’s the best!!

    Originally, I didn’t like Samantha’s bridesmaid dress either. It seemed too cheap, shiny, and Barbie-like. But in person, it’s very pretty. That color of lavender is perfect and I love the frills.

  19. Lily on June 28th, 2009 11:46 pm

    Oh, and I also didn’t like the bridesmaid dress because it seemed like there were too many holes in the hat and you could see her hair through it. It’s less severe in person and I never notice since my Sam is displayed up high.

    Thought you’d want to know. New stuff = up on AG
