Toys

I found a My Little Pony pencil case and Hello Kitty purse. The teeny tiny jars of glitter and pirate not-Lego figures were from The Factory Shop. I couldn’t resist!


This Strawberry Shortcake doll came with three hat stands, four hats and four scarves. They were all originally part of a playset called Fresh Fashion Boutique (2009), but that wasn’t in the shop.
