[sugar and spice]

I got Samantha when I was really young, and Kirsten a few years after that. My sister had Molly. (This was back when they were the only three dolls that the company made.) The company that made them was located (and maybe still is) just outside of Madison, where I live, and my grandmother was a huge fan of the dolls, so we ALWAYS got AG stuff for Christmas and our birthdays. (I had ALL of the Samantha stuff, and a lot of the Kirsten stuff.)

One of the girls I babysat for a couple times -- her parents did some of the historical research for the books (either Felicity or Addy, I can't remember which).
