When I went through my My Little Pony collection, some of the baby ponies came with toothbrushes, a few little toys, toothpaste, baby lotion, you name it they had it. I had such a hoot looking through the accessory box. The cardboard accessories are definitely not good enough. They need to bring them back. <br /><br />I love all your Pretty Treasures collections. I am especially fond of the cookie baking set. That's funny how marketing changes from one country to another. You'd think that the US and Europe would be similar but I guess not! I'm going to make it a point to get more accessories. These are too cute to live without!<br /><br />I would have never known about that FA dress had you not showed me it was the base of the OOAK dress I got for Christmas. They probably came out around the same time so it makes sense!<br /><br />My Barbie Blog - Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188493118291432758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137499729425715878.post-87667586648065817752014-03-18T08:22:06.871-07:002014-03-18T08:22:06.871-07:00Haha, if you have a daughter, she will probably dr...Haha, if you have a daughter, she will probably drive you nuts by putting clothes in the trunk without closing the velcro first, like mine did. They did not cut the hair though.<br /><br />About the Pretty Treasures (that's the correct name, the FA ones were called Special Collection), my wedding set is from 1997 (box date is 1996, which usually is one year prior to release - but I guess you know that already) and it has the exact same contents as your Avon set. Your set might have been an Avon exclusive in the US, though. In Europe it was a regular playline item.<br /><br />I posted the ones I found so far to a dollpage album:<br /><br />http://www.thedollpage.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=13364<br /><br />There should be some more around here and I will post pictures to that album as I come across them. Some are deboxed though, so I have to look through my accessory bins.<br /><br />I guess we all love the miniature accessories for our dolls. They were so much fun playing with. I was totally drooling over these sets again, while taking pictures. Wasn't it just the best, when an outfit had lots of little miniature props like the Fancy Frills lingerie sets that came with nailbuffers, manicure tools and perfume bottles, sadly today it is mostly printed cardboard accessories. <br /><br />You were spot on with your guess on the dress from the cake topper. It is that FA dress and Ken is wearing the tixedo from the same year.Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137499729425715878.post-70596918848214305412014-03-16T21:29:23.149-07:002014-03-16T21:29:23.149-07:00I would love to see your Little Treasures Andrea! ...I would love to see your Little Treasures Andrea! Accessories are so fun I had no idea that they had more of them. Seems that the only fun accessories they have now are just shoes (which are great too but sometimes you want more) :) But reading what you wrote, this wedding treasure set was not an Avon exclusive? <br /><br />God forbid I ever have a daughter who's not meticulous with her dolls. I'd probably have a meltdown should she cut ones hair. hahaMy Barbie Blog - Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188493118291432758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137499729425715878.post-78958249147288996062014-03-16T14:37:07.575-07:002014-03-16T14:37:07.575-07:00I just love these Little Treasures Sets.

I'll take some pics, as soon as I can unearth them. I think I might even have one FA Little Treasures set with the same contents as your Avon bag.<br /><br />I can relate to you being so meticulous with your doll accessories, I was the same with my stuff.
