When I first saw Jess in their catalog I don't even think I knew you on LJ yet!
Laurel's getting my saved-for-years Samantha this Christmas with a brand-new slipcovered set of the books. I was hoping the company -- am I old to remember when they were The Pleasant Company? -- still carried the individual dolls' clothes sewing pattern folios I remember nagging my mom for when I was learning to sew, but I couldn't find them in their catalog. If I can't find 'em on eBay, I'll bust out some of the 18" doll patterns I already have and fake it.
eBay owns my soul. After looking at the vicious bidding on the pattern folios (which have been retired for years, silly me) there I bought a set with Buy It Now.
Vogon looked in on me while I was buying it and said "huh, Nerdsprout had one of those" then pointed out the Samantha desk I'd found while packing up the stuff she left when she moved out. It's sitting on top of the bookcase until we bring the new-to-Laurel doll home after Christmas.
