2nd Annual Summer Postcard Exchange Designs

I am so very sorry for how long this has taken to get up!

L&L was honored and happy to host the Summer Postcard Exchange again this year! The idea was that dolls (doll collectors) around the country and around the world would send in postcard designs and we would then print them out and send all the participants a doll sized postcard from each person.

Our humble little event grew this year and we were thrilled to have 41 postcard designs submitted by 37 individuals! We're sorry it took a little longer to get everything ready to mail out this year, and thank you so much for your patience. This was so much fun that hopefully we'll be able to do this again next summer! ^_^

Here are the 30 designs for the postcards for everyone to see:

New 2017 Contemporary Character Tenney Grant

*UPDATE 12/13: Added photo of potential Tenney's wardrobe at the bottom of the post.*

For months now, we've been finding out bits and pieces about a new line American Girl is planning to debut next year. Here is what we know so far (please keep in mind nothing is certain til AG releases her officially):

1) The line is called the Contemporary MG (Modern Girl?).

2) This is different from the Girl of the Year line, and there will be a separate Girl of the Year 2017 (rumored name Gabriela) next year.

3) The first Contemporary girl's name is Tennyson Grant (nickname Tenney).

4) She will have a series of books to accompany the doll which include 3 main story books and 1 character journal.

5) The release date will be January 31st (based of her book publication date). *Update 12/3: Rumors are circulating the doll will be released on Feb. 9th, 2017.*
6) Tenny is white, with blond, curly/wavy hair, and what looks like brown eyes.
7) She is from Nashville, Tennessee.
8) Her pet is a Golden Retriever dog named Waylon.
9) She plays guitar and banjo, and loves to perform.
10) Her best friend is Jaya Mitra, who loves art.
11) There may be a second contemporary character released later in the spring (publication date in April).
*Update 12/3* Rumors are circulating that:
12) A boy doll "Logan" who will be her friend will be released with her on Feb. 9th, 2017.
13) Both Tenney and Logan will have differently shaped hands in order to be able to hold their instruments.

You can see photos of some of her potential outfits and her pet on the Master List of Leaked AG Releases at this link: http://lissieandlilly.blogspot.com/p/leaked-ag-releases.html
