 Felicity:
1774Felicity Merriman® is an independent, loyal, spirited girl growing up in colonial Virginia in 1774, just before the Revolutionary War. Felicity® is impatient doing the “sitting-down kinds of things” that colonial girls are expected to do. She much prefers to be outdoors, especially riding horses! In her stories, Felicity learns about loyalty and responsibility—to her family, her friends, and her country—and what it means to be truly independent. |

Your Felicity doll has snappy green
eyes that open and close, and silky red hair that curls in soft tendrils
around her face. Brush her long wavy hair and gather it into an ivory
satin ribbon. She has a huggable soft body with head,
arms, and legs you can pose. She can sit stand and hold all the charming
accessories in her collection. Felicity comes dressed in her flower-striped gown, edged in ruffles at the neck and sleeve. Underpants were not worn in 1774, but under her gown she wears a simple shift that comes down to her knees. She wears white wool stockings and black shoes with fancy buckles. Her shoes are “single-lasted,” which means they are just alike and will fit on either foot. In colonial times people switched their shoes from one foot to the other so they would wear evenly! $84 Felicity Doll & Paperback Book $90 Felicity Doll & Hardcover Book $106 Felicity Doll & Paperback Book Set $146 Felicity Doll & Hardcover Book Set (See Appendix) |
