| Dressed up and coloring pictures from Caroline’s Color and Craft on Twinkle Toes’ 10th Birthday |
Anyways, while we are busy having fun with friends, it’s time for another giveaway here at Shower of Roses. Over the past couple years I have purchased a few beautiful dresses for my girls from Cheri at Ashley’s Attic and she has offered to give an Apron and Bonnet set to one of my visitors! You can see my girls wearing the Josefina and Kirsten dresses in the Josefina Birthday and An Early American Pioneer Birthday posts. Twinkle Toes also received the Caroline Abbott dress last Christmas which she wore again last week on her 10th birthday! I have been so impressed with the quality and durability of these dresses and look forward to purchasing more (perhaps a dress for Rose!) from Ashley’s Attic in the future!
The winner of this giveaway will receive a handmade Bonnet and Apron in their choice of either Regular (fits best 5 to 9 year old) or Large (fits best 10 and over). The color will be chosen by Cheri, since this is an extra busy time of year for her as well.
If you would like to be entered in this giveaway, just leave a comment on this post, and make sure your email address is either linked on your profile or included in the comment so that I am able to contact you if you win.
For an extra entry visit Ashley’s Attic and then come back and tell me which dress/item is your favorite, or help me decide which dress I should purchase for Rose! The “Wendy” dress is one of my own favorites… Isn’t it just darling!?! 🙂 (Ooh! I love this one too, and it’s pink! So many beautiful choices, it is so hard to pick a favorite!)
UPDATE: Thank you all for participating! Congratulations to texasgal! I’ll be contacting you soon for your size preference and mailing information. I hope your daughter enjoys her new bonnet and apron!
The Girls Colonial Rose Garden Dress is my favorite!
Pretty dresses! Thanks for the giveaway!
My kids LOVE to play dress-up and this would be perfect for our daughter, who is super-ultra girly-girl. Thank you for hosting the giveaway 🙂
I like them all – and that you can get an outfit for her doll too….but I could see our daughter loving the Caroline Abbott dress 🙂
I would love this giveaway for my daughter (5) monika_Rodriguez 2105@yahoo. Com
Gorgeous dresses! I think all of them are SO pretty! I like the Felicity-style dresses for the dolls, because one of my girls has Felicity, but she is retired, so it's hard to find clothes for her. I also think it would be such fun to have my girls' dolls have prairie dresses. Probably because of how much they have had playing in their own prairie dresses, which are now too small for them 🙁 Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, Jessica! Can't wait to see more "Caroline" pics!
Love these dresses! Wish I had found that site before we visited Colonial Williamsburg last Spring. Great giveaway. sarahcpotter@gmail.dot.com
My daughters would love a bonnet/apron set. Thanks for the giveaway! ametten3 AT yahoo DOT com

Hi Jessica! My three daughters ( mostly the youngest 2) share our one pioneer dress with apron. What beautiful dresses she makes. I agree that the Wendy dress would be so cute for your little one. I really love the pink colonial one.
Isn't that one of the great things about home education( the flexibility of changing when school starts 😉 babumamma@yahoo.com (Crystal). It was so nice to meet you at the baptism/ anniversary party!

Thanks for the opportunity to win! It would be a huge blessing to our family!
The prairie dress is cute (and pink too) and my DD would love it because we are in the middle of the little house books!
I personally favor the colonial dresses but for Rose, I like the Samantha party dress. It's pink-uh after all, and Samantha has always been my favorite American Girl.
And don't feel badly about starting school late, many of the schools here don't start until next Monday. We are only doing about 70% of our work because I'm still trying to get our IEW stuff in order.
Love the dresses! Bkreps78@gmail.com
Love the dresses 🙂
Thank you for the opportunity. I've had my eye on a couple of Ashley's Attic colonial and pioneer dresses for my daughters – beautiful!

Hi Jessica,
I love every one of these darling dresses, aprons and bonnets. My Goddaughter who just received Caroline for Christmas last year would be the perfect little Miss to win this lovely give away…I have been around the American Girls collection since it premiered in the 1990's. We discovered this wonderful collection from the Pleasant Company when our twin daughters were in the second grade and American Girls items were the most treasured gifts for Christmas and their Birthday for many years. When our daughters were in the 5th grade my dearest Mother wanted to do something special for each of her 9 granddaughters and she gave them each the American Girl doll of their choice as an heirloom to be loved and cared for by each granddaughter and passed down to future generations. So Samantha and Kirsten have been a part of our family for many many years. Now my nieces have daughters and they are most interested in the American Girls collection as well. I have one precious grandson and I am praying for a sweet granddaughter someday so that I can share the world of the American Girls with her. It is just amazing to have watched this company grow since the 1990s and remains so popular to this day. And the American Girl dolls are just wonderful for every girl no matter her age. Even this Beppe (grandma in Friesan Dutch) has a love for the dolls and their accessories and especially their historical stories to this very day. Thank you Jessica for sharing your lovely daughters interests with us. They are very special little girls and I love to read your posts about them cooking and sewing…the wonderful skills I learned from my mother and my grandmother as a young girl. You are doing a wonderful job of mothering and nurturing your beautiful children and I admire your dedication. Sincerely, Debbie
