Peggy Sue and Lewis meet Elf on the Shelf

Lewis is intrigued with what Peggy Sue is holding.

It's my little Elf on the Shelf.  She tells him.

Cool.  Lewis says.

He keeps an eye on us to make sure we are good, and reports back to Father Christmas.  Peggy Sue explains to Lewis.

I better make sure I am extra good.  Lewis thinks to himself.

An Advent Afternoon Tea Party

The Rose Cottage Friends were invited to an Advent Afternoon Tea Party so new dresses had to be made - of course!  Nothing like leaving it to the last minute though.  Both Peggy Sue and Mary got a new dress.

Peggy Sue got given some new tights from her friend Poppy and couldn't wait to show them off as they matched her dress so well.

Pru, one of the hosts was given a new dress by Peggy Sue and Mary and she tried it on immediately and seemed pretty pleased with it.  Henry felt a little out of place with the Schoenhut girls...

So went to say hello to the Sasha girls before going to spend some time with FredErik.

Pru and Mary enjoyed some special time together

I think they are going to become very good friends.

 

Getting Festive

 The Rose Cottage Friends are starting to feel a little festive...

Lindsey has donned a pretty knitted Christmas dress

She is joined by Everlee Rose and Sophia who are admiring some of the toys.

This shelf will gradually evolve over the next few weeks.

Hazel wants to start decorating her little tree.

Martha, Eva and Nancy have changed into Christmas clothes.

(This so called 'New UN-improved layout, means that the photos load on the opposite order to how you want them...took me several goes to get them in the right order...now I know that they load back to front it should make it a little easier....BUT WHY do they do this??)
