A Pyjama Party!

 On November 5th some of the Rose Cottage Friends had a pyjama party.  Here are a few photos as they gathered ready for the party to begin.

I talk a little about each doll on a video here:

The Dolls' Advent Calendar Challenge - Days 8 - 15

Although I have been taking the daily photos for this challenge, I haven't gotten round to posting them, so am just going to post the last eight days today!

Day 8: Madeline

This sweet little doll featured a lot in 2017 and I did quite a few stories with her...she hasn't seen as much action the last year!

Day 9:  Bobby

This lovely lad is known as Henry's older brother... he has often in the past got up to some antics with his friend Hamish.

Day 10:  Hamish

Hamish is also a Kidz n Cats doll.  He is friends with Bobby and is Rory's cousin.

Day 11: Gigi

Is a little Ruby Red Galleria doll that I found by pure chance when searching UK Ebay a year or so ago for a Perfekta Gigi Doll.  Knowing that this dolls virtually NEVER come available in the UK, and having admired a Sasha friend's doll for a number of years I didn't hesitate.  I need to do more with her.  I think it will help if I give her her own name.

Day 12:  Hitty Joyful

Hitty Joyful is the proprietress of Rose Cottage Tearooms and is always cheerful.  She is wearing her new dress that she got sent ready for a New Year's Eve party

Day 13:  Melody Maplethorpe

Is a petite little lady who fits in well with the TRDs.  I think she may also work well with Muriel Singer, but I won't know until she is unpacked.  

Day 14:  Fisherman's Wife

I bought this doll a number of years ago at an Antiques Fair.  She is completely handmade.  Her face looks like it is made from a wax type material, but I am really not sure.

Day 15:  Sailor Boy

This lad was bought at the same time as the Fisherman's Wife. 

Advent 2019 - Day 11

Hamish and Bobby are just 'hanging' around wondering what to do.

When the thought occurs to them that perhaps Hamish could open the Advent Calendar today.

They walk over to the Calendar and look for today's date.

Hamish kneels down to open it with Bobby watching on.

He wonders what is inside...

...and reaches inside.

Oh look.  He says as he shows Bobby.

It looks like a chute.

He puts it in place.

It is now ready for the toys to come down.  The Elf inspects with his hammer at the ready in case any adjustments are needed.

So what shall we do now?  The boys wonder.

Bobby & Hamish

The handsome Bobby was thrilled to receive a package of cardigans in the post the other day.  He and Hamish tend to miss out on clothing to a large extent, but they now have a nice selection of cardigans to choose from now the cooler weather is here.  

 Bobby chose this lovely green cardigan and is thrilled that it matches his green t shirt.

My photo editing programme is not working today so I have been having trouble with editing Hamish's photos that I took yesterday.  This is a bit of a worry as I really rely on this programme but for some reason it just keeps crashing.  Not good.  So I only managed two photos of Hamish.

The cardigan he chose goes nicely with his hair!  

The weather today (Monday 9th September) is no where near as nice as it was yesterday.  It has been dull and overcast all day and has a damp feel about it.  Please don't come too soon Autumn!
