I had the utmost pleasure of meeting Connie Porter, Wendy Wan-Long Shang, and Jacqueline Dembar Greene last month! I brought along my Addy and Rebecca and got my books signed by these amazing authors. They gave fantastic and insightful talks on their books for American Girl and were incredibly funny and kind. It was a great event and I loved seeing fans of all ages with their dolls and books!

A mini research adventure
As I was going through Samantha’s Ocean Liner Adventure, I noticed one of the pages mentions a passenger gifting Samantha some money from Austria, Turkey and France. So I decided to find some images for money from 1906 to print for Samantha.
I was having some trouble and then I had the thought that maybe I couldn’t find anything for Turkey because it didn’t exist yet. Low and behold, I realized Turkey did not become an independent country until 1919, a full thirteen years after the setting of Samantha’s Ocean Liner Adventure. During Samantha’s time period, it was a part of the Ottoman Empire.
Austria did not exist as an independent country either - it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The money Samantha would have gotten from the passenger would have probably been Ottoman livres, Austro-Hungarian krone, and French francs.
I found the Ottoman money the most interesting, since it is dated according to the Islamic calendar. The year is 1326, or 1908 (I couldn’t find a bill from 1906).

This coin from Austria-Hungary is called a corona. It features the head of Emperor Franz-Joseph I. I wasn’t able to find a paper bill from around 1906.

This paper bill is for 5 French francs. It is from 1905.

It was nice out this afternoon, so I took Josefina and Sombrita 🐐 to a small nearby park so we could do a mini-photoshoot with her modeling the camisa and skirt she got for her birthday 🎁! I recently realized that I don’t have nearly enough pictures of this gorgeous girl, so I’m working on fixing that!

PINKY promise. idgaf if it was handwritten in a notebook and abandoned in the seventies, if you put someone else’s fanfiction into chatgpt you deserve to (and WILL) get hit by a bus. signing off.

It's autumn in South Australia, and Amy is spending the day picking apples at a pick-your-own farm in the Adelaide Hills. This area has the perfect condition for growing apples, as well as many other crops. She brings home a big basket of beautiful apples.

My parents lived in Seattle from 2000-2007, so I asked them how accurate Nicki and Isabel's collection is.
They agreed that the biggest problem is that neither of them have a Patagonia fleece jacket.
