One of my new doll gifts I gifted myself for Christmas this year:Archived Message

I wanted this set last year when it was introduced, but decided the price was really just too high...thought it might go on sale after the holidays, but it did not...so, I took the plunge this year and bought it at full price...honestly, ALL American Girl stuff is worth about half the original selling price...if they would half their prices, I would probably buy a whole lot more of their stuff! I thing $75 for this CARDBOARD set really is too high...but, I remember having one like this as a kid in the 60's...heck, we probably have some old photos of my older sister and I with the same cardboard fireplace! I remember the "log" had cellophane to make the glow from the tiny light bulb look more like a fire...I also seem to recall it rotated or something and make cracking sounds as it did...anyway, here is the over-priced AG version at last...oh, and some KD dolls had to make use of it as well, since Booth was already dressed in Sue Connor's fabulous Santa suit! Lady Penelope is wearing a Horsman gown which is actually red, although it appears more orange in the photos for some reason...
Oh, I added three battery powered tea lights behind the cardboard logs and fire to give it a glow...
