Hi, I'm a fairly new AG doll collector and I only have Addy, but I have just about everything even remotely connected to her (can you tell I'm a big fan? LOL). My daughter (who is 8) and I keep Addy, her Sweet Dreams collection and her books out at all times in order to hold her, play with her things or to tuck her in bed. But we save the other items, furniture, Scenes and Settings etc. for special days. For example, if it is a snow day and the kids and I are home from school (I'm in education) or a holiday or even just a "we're sick and feel crummy" day, we get out everything and act out scenes from her stories or take digital shots of her posing in front of the scenes and settings. It is a lot of fun and then we pack everything up to save for another "special day". This keeps the delight alive and makes us feel that excitement each time we reopen her packages etc. PS> I decided to store her things (except for furniture and books) in some beautiful old-fashioned hatboxes that I found on sale today at Burlingtons Coat Factory!
