Extras and other Outfits

Your Addy doll has beautiful brown eyes that sparkle and shine as they open and close. She has lots of hair you’ll love to brush and braid. Sweep it all back with a silky blue ribbon to show the golden earrings she always wears. In 1864, many young girls—even babies—wore them as a proud reminder of their African heritage. Her soft body is very huggable and her head arms, and legs pose so she can sit, stand, and hold the delightful accessories in her collection.
When you first meet Addy, she’ll be wearing a striped dress of old-fashioned “cinnamon pink” given to her by Miss Caroline, who helped Addy and Momma escape to freedom. Addy’s drawers are edged in eyelet and peek out beneath her skirt. Pull her stretchy black stockings up over her knees and lace up her cap-toed boots so she’s ready for the adventures ahead.

Addy’s Accessories

When Addy and Momma escaped to freedom, they could only take a few possessions with them. Use Addy's kerchief to make a bundle for her to carry. Tuck her water gourd and the half dime from Uncle Solomon inside—it’s only money she and Momma had. Tie the calico ribbon of her straw bonnet beneath her chin. Then, most important, hang the cowrie shell around Addy’s neck. It belonged to her great-grandmother, who brought it all the way from Africa, and it’s Addy’s most precious treasure.

(the real water gourd was replaced by a plastic gourd in 1998)

School Suit & Blouse

Inspired by Civil War uniforms of the day, Addy’s blue suit has a white blouse, a flared skirt, and a fitted jacket lined with fabric scraps from Mrs. Ford’s shop, where Momma worked. Polish up the medal Addy won in the spelling match and pin it proudly to her jacket. It says “Millions for freedom, not one cent for slavery.”

Tin Pail Lunch

Momma packed Addy’s lunch in a tin pail with a lid on top to keep it fresh. She tied a scrap of dotted fabric to the handle so Addy would know which lunch was hers. Spread out the cheery red-checked napkin and lay out Addy’s lunch. There’s a savory meat pie, a bunch of juicy grapes, and four little cookies shaped into letters that spell out a sweet message!

$18 ASAL

Addy’s Double Desk

A school desk built for two! Addy and a classmate can site side by side on the roomy bench, and write on the double slate with chalk. There’s a lift-up compartment on the desktop for slate pencils and the shelf underneath is perfect for storing books. This double desk meant double trouble for Addy when she found out that snobby Harriet was her desk partner.

$70 ASFR
(after the Satchel & Supplies were discontinued the slate and slate pencil were included with the desk, the price remained the same)

Satchel & Supplies

Addy’s striped satchel has everything you’ll need to help her practice the “three R’s”—reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic! Her Union Reader is a miniature version of a real schoolbook used in northern schools in the 1860’s. If you have good eyes, you can really read it! Addy learned to write with a slated pencil and a big double slate. The yarn binding around the slate’s edges kept if from scraping against her desktop and disturbing her desk partner. Addy used a wooden abacus, or “numeral frame,” to learn arithmetic. Slide the little beads back and forth to help her add and subtract.

$18 ASAB discontinued

Tartan Plaid Dress

Addy worked hard making deliveries for Mrs. Ford’s shop during the busy holiday season. To thank her for her help, Mrs. Ford gave her the gorgeous taffeta dress that Isabella Howell had outgrown! It’s trimmed with black satin bows and shiny buttons, and is tied with a lovely sash that ends in elegant fringe. Addy wore it with a bright green ribbon for her hair when she went to church on Christmas Day.

$22 ACO

Ida Bean Doll

Momma’s Christmas gift to Addy was this darling rag doll with a sunny, hand-stitched face, a dainty purple dress, and tiny gold earrings. Addy named her “Ida Bean” because she really was full of beans!

$15 ACAD

Needlework Kit & Lamp

Mrs. Ford gave Addy a needle book and hoop so she could help with the sewing. Addy’s first project was an apron on which she practiced making straight seams with tiny stitches. You can embroider the charming floral trim on the hem and bodice for Addy. A make-believe kerosene lamp to light their dark and drafty garret was a Christmas surprise for Addy and Momma—a glowing reminder to “let your little light shine” all year long.

$18 ACAG

Sweet Potato Pudding Kit

Addy and Momma took sweet potato pudding to the potluck supper at church on Christmas Day. You can make it, too, by following the traditional recipe that their family made for generations. Mix up the ingredients in the yellowware bowl with a wooden spoon. Pour the batter into the cast-iron skillet. It’s called a “spider” because it stands up on three little legs. Pop the pudding in the oven, and decorate it with a sprig of holly when it’s done. Yummy!

$16 ACAC discontinued

Birthday Pinafore & Snood

The day Addy chose as her birthday was a special one, and so was the outfit she wore to celebrate! Dress Addy up in her best ecru blouse with double puffed sleeves, rickrack trim, and a trio of tiny buttons. Add the chocolate-and-cream-checked pinafore and fancy knit stockings. For a finishing touch, tuck her hair back in a fashionable snood trimmed with a satin ribbon and two yellow feathers, compliments of Sunny!

$20 ABO

Songbird & Sweets

Addy’s gift from M’dear was a lovely tin box painted with morning glories and tied with a satin ribbon. Nestled inside were a note and six benne candies made of sesame seeds. They’re make-believe, of course. But the best treat of all came from Sunny, M’dear’s bright yellow canary who lived in a birdcage. His special song seemed to burst with hope and gladness—a reminder to Addy to always “let her own spirit sing out.”

$16 ABAA

Lazy Susan Table & Chairs

Addy and her family gathered for meals at a round table with a revolving tray in the center that turned so diners could serve themselves. Your wooden table is an authentic reproduction of a style from the 1800’s. it’s buttermilk red with a mottled finish that resembles vinegar painting, a technique that was popular then. Addy’s wooden chairs are painted black and have sturdy woven seats. This style of chair is called “ladder back” because the rungs on the back look just like a stepladder!

$75 AF

Ironstone Compote Set

Momma and Mrs. Golden planned a grand party at the boarding house to celebrate two glorious occasions in one: the end of the war, and Addy’s tenth birthday!
You can set Addy’s birthday table with two ironstone compotes that have a crackle finish, two lavender tumblers, a copper pitcher, three crocheted lace doilies, and two forks and spoons. Tuck the linen napkins into the napkin rings—they’re etched with little numbers just as they were in the boarding house so you and Addy will remember whose napkin is whose!

$54 ABAC

Addy’s Party Treats

Addy couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the party that awaited her at the boarding house. A big bouquet of beautiful flowers bloomed from a glass milk bottle. A pie plate was heaped high with yummy cherry pie crisscrossed with a lattice crust. Use the pie server to help Addy to and extra-large slice, and add a big scoop of Poppa’s homemade ice cream. A patriotic banner of freedom and paper lantern are the perfect mementos of Addy’s almost-perfect day!

$26 ABAP

Ice Cream Freezer

You can make a delicious, doll-sized batch of ice cream just like Poppa made for Addy’s birthday with an old-fashioned ice cream freezer that really, really works! Use the recipe to mix your own ingredients, then pour them into the metal canister. Pack ice and salt in the wooden bucket, and then turn the paddle, called a “dasher.” Soon you and Addy can lick the dasher and share a scrumptious treat!

$22 ABAN

Summer Dress & Straw Hat

Addy could hardly wait for the day of the church fair to arrive! She wore a charming summer dress sprinkled with a field full of tiny flowers, and a narrow-brimmed straw hat. There’s a brooch of little berries to pin at Addy’s collar. Berry pretty, indeed !

$22 AAO

Lace-Up Boots

Addy’s stylish canvas boots have shinny patent leather toes and heels, and they lace up on the insides.

Gardening Supplies

When summer came, the Walker family raised vegetables to earn extra money so Poppa could go south to look for Sam and Esther. Addy used a hoe to keep the garden rows neat and tidy, and a watering can to sprinkle the seedlings as they grew. At harvest time, Addy would heap her basket high and imagine that each ripe vegetable brought her family one step closer together. There’s a bumper crop for Addy to take to market—a bright green cabbage and two plump eggplants, a red tomato, a turnip, and a whole bunch of carrots!

Church Fair Fun

Addy collected empty spools from Mrs. Ford’s shop to make wooden puppets, and got Poppa to build a special stage. Then she and Sarah put on puppet shows and sold spool puppets to raise money at the church fair!
You can put on puppet shows just like Addy did. Your theater comes with a wooden stage, two spool puppets of a soldier and a dog, and two backdrops so you can change the scenery. One of the backdrops is already painted, the other is for you to create. The slide whistle that Poppa made of spools helped Addy save the day!

Winter Fun

When winter days were cold and dreary, Addy found ways to have fun indoors. She challenged Sam to mancala, a game with tiny beans as markers, and she serenaded Momma with tunes on the sansa, an African “thumb piano.” When she was alone, she played with a myriorama puzzle. You can create a variety of scenes by changing the order of the pieces!

Rope Bed

When Addy and her family moved to the boarding house, Addy had a bed of her own for the first time. It has a plump pillow and a comfy muslin mattress that rests on ropes instead of springs. The bed’s authentic “fly-speckled” finish gives it a charming antiqued look.

$45 AB

Work Dress & Apron

Addy always took special care to keep her good clothes neat and tidy for school and for church on Sunday.

Over it she wore a crisp plaid apron with a little pocket for carrying 3 clothes pins.

Addy’s Stilting Outfit

When the circus came to Philadelphia, everyone gathered to see the parade. Addy’s favorite part was the performer who walked on tall, slender stilts. Poppa used scraps of wood to make stilts that were just Addy’s size and painted them deep red. When Sam saw her practicing he named her Addy “stilt” Walker!
