I did a bit of shopping on Fifth Avenue yesterday - okay, a lot of shopping. I went to the Diamond District first and picked up the diamond stud earring to replace the one I dropped down the drain; I had dropped off one of the surviving ones the day before. Unfortunately it turns out that the replacement is about a point smaller than the original, which makes it a point smaller than all five of my other ones, so I am going to have to call the guy to ask about it - I didn’t pay $50 for a mismatched earring!

I spent even more than that, though, at American Girl Place. (What, you didn’t know I had an American Girl doll? I do!) They’ve been bringing back Felicity and even adding new items for her, so I got the Tea Lesson Gown for A. She got the complete Felicity set as a present years ago, but the Tea Lesson is new so I got it to make sure she still has the complete set. I also got the Butterfly Brocade Outfit (which we both wanted), and for my doll I got the new inflatable kayak (just the kayak and gear, not the outfit) and Kit’s Christmas Outfit which I’ve wanted for a while. And finally I got Coconut’s Rinkside Accessories. All told, this was about $125! Yikes.
