Addy’s Sentimental Quilt by Colleen O.

February 14, 2019 by GirlAGain

Addy has a lot to be excited about.  The Civil War is over, slavery has been abolished, and her whole family-her mother and father, her big brother Sam and her little sister Esther-are back together again after over a year of being scattered apart.  Best of all, her parents have decided that now they are a free couple, they can officially get married.

 

Now that Momma and Poppa are free, they decide to have a real, legal ceremony inAddy's Wedding Quilt book the church.  As a wedding present, Addy makes a quilt out of leftover scraps. She even sews appliques, or cutouts, of a broom to tell her parents’ story.  As she sews, she comes to realize that even though it didn’t mean Momma and Poppa were legally wed while they were in slavery, the broom still meant they were married in every other sense of the word.

We, at Girl Again, were so moved by Addy and her story, we were inspired to create a special event each year to celebrate Black History Month.  At this special event, we will be creating doll-size quilts for our dolls back home, in true Addy Walker style. Don’t worry if you can’t sew.  We’ll be using a special no sew technique for our quilts. We hope to see you here on February 23rd, from 11am to noon!  There are limited spots available.  You can sign up here: Addy’s Quilt or call 914-358-1460.

We also have many items at Girl AGain and on our e-Shop for Addy.  We have dolls, accessories and clothes all fromAddy's bedroom Addy’s story.  We also have her books if you would like to learn more about Addy’s time.  We hope to see you soon.

Our Store

American Girl Store Girl AGain opened in February 2014 to rave reviews from American Girl doll fans, their moms and especially their grandmas. You’ll find authentic gently used AG dolls, clothing, furniture, accessories and books that have been cleaned and prepared for sale at good prices in an easy-access store.

We also host in-store events such as American Girl book author readings, tea parties, and craft activities. Our most popular event is Girl AGain Doll Hair Do’s & Don’ts Workshop. Check here often to see what is scheduled.

You’ll find a selection of dolls: the original dolls from the historical periods as well as My American Girl, Bitty Baby and Bitty Twins. We have new and used outfits for all AG dolls, as well as their furniture and accessories. Our merchandise changes daily.

You’ll also find a great selection of new and used American Girl books. You don’t have to be a doll lover to enjoy the advice books like The Care and Keeping of You, and A Smart Girl’s Guide to Money.

Girl AGain is not affiliated with American Girl(r) company.

Yes She Can!

Did you know that 80% of adults with autism are unemployed? We created our boutique specifically to help develop transferable job skills for young women with autism. Our trainees at Girl AGain sort, clean and prepare the merchandise, price it, and display it in our shop. Our trainees learn about marketing, merchandising, retailing, customer service, and inventory acquisition in addition to appropriate workplace behavior, research, collaboration and decision-making. We have staff who manage our accounting (Quick Books) and our website (WordPress).

Our customers learn about the abilities of people with autism. And hopefully, our youngest shoppers learn about acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities.
