"For auld lang syne"

Celebrate Robert Burns night in high fashion! Daphne loves to dance for all of the Scottish folks at the Robert Burns dinner. Robert Burns was a famous Scottish poet born on January 25, 1759.




Tonight Daphne will be dancing the Flora McDonald Fancy and the Blue Bonnets. She's wearing her favorite pink national outfit.


Daphne's vest closes up the front with a silver lace tie and her plaid is securely held to her shoulder with a pretty broach.


From behind you can see her plaid that drapes over her shoulder.



Although most Scottish girls wear their aboyne skirts with a separate blouse, Daphne's blouse is actually sewn to her skirt for ease of dressing. She also sports white knee socks and ghillies.


"Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne. " - Robert Burns

Store play


Here's a great find I came across on clearance for under $5! It's a cute little ATM bank for girls. The size is perfect for American Girl dolls. We set up our own little store with an ATM in the corner for our dolls to take money out of the bank.


I found an Our Generation set at Target to help us finish setting up our little store. The set includes items for a grocery store, cash register, shopping basket, clerk's shirt with name tag, and miscellaneous grocery items.



We plan to use the register and cash machine to set up lots of other stores for our dolls, too!
