Hawaiian Phoebe

I actually bought this dress the last time I was in Hawaii. I knew I would want to take photos of Phoebe in it, so I brought it along. There was a toy store, however, that sold many of this style of dress. I considered buying one, but they were over $20 so I decided I would just stick to the one I had :)

That concludes the Hawaii posts!



Thanks for stopping by!
 

Phoebe Visits Museums in Lahaina

While in Hawaii, I took Phoebe to the Baldwin Museum, and the Lahaina Heritage Museum. Seeing that she enjoys history and vintage stuff, it seemed right!

The Baldwin Home is the oldest standing building on the island of Maui. There were six rooms on the lower floor including the entry, dining, bath, master, kids, and office.

This piano was in the entry. There were also some other old instruments on the shelves.

Phoebe explored the kids bedroom. It had two mosquito net canopy beds, toys, and the little table you can see in this photo.

In the office, there was a HUGE dictionary! You couldn't open it, but it was seriously ginormous. 

Phoebe in the window seat of the office. There were window seats in almost every room.

One of the books on the enclosed bookshelf was a 1861 edition of the Children's Magazine. Most of the books had to do with medicine, since the man who lived in the house was a doctor and missionary.

In the master, there was a large bed, desk, dresser, and crib. This doll was in the crib.

Phoebe in the master next to an old trunk at the foot of the bed.

Next we went to the Lahaina Courthouse, which had a small one room museum called the Lahaina Heritage Museum. Inside, there was a teeny tiny cannon, which was Phoebe's size!

There were also many old bottles and books.

I hope you enjoyed exploring these museums with Phoebe and I!

Phoebe's First Photo Shoot... In Hawaii!

Phoebe journeyed to Hawaii recently and I got some photos!

 

That was Phoebe's first photo shoot! I'd heard that the Ivy mold can be difficult to photograph because the dolls usually don't look at the camera. I noticed this while photographing Phoebe, but hopefully I can figure out the right angle in which she is looking directly at the camera. For now, not a big deal :)

Random thought: I've been thinking about her story, and I think she may have cousins who live in Hawaii, or perhaps her grandparents live there.

Also, a note on her name, because I don't think I have mentioned this yet... Phoebe is not a name in Little Women, however there is a character in Louisa May Alcott's Eight Cousins named Phebe. Thus, I expanded from just Little Women inspired names, but stayed within the Alcott realm :) Eight Cousins is about a girl named Rose, which is actually where Teddie got her middle name! Fun fact ;)

Until next time!
