Easter Sunday 2025

He has Risen!

We want to wish you all a very Happy Easter remembering how special this day is.

The little Easter display we have set up this year.

 

A Doll a Day in April: Day 14 - Hazel

Today's doll of the day is my lovely Hazel.  You can read about her arrival here: A Very Special Doll

She got changed into this pretty dress that was given to me.

 

Advent 2021 - Day Five: Hazel's Turn

Hazel had been waiting patiently and today she gets to open a window.

Wren helps her look for the number five.

She reaches up to open it.

I wonder what she will find inside?

What have you got there Hazel?

It is Joseph!

How lovely Hazel found Joseph behind the little door.

The Nativity scene is starting to come together nicely.

 

Advent 2021 - Day Four: Madeline Rose's turn.

Today it is Madeline Rose's turn to open the window of the Advent Calendar

Wren helps her find the number four...

Rose Resilient helps her reach the window.

Madeline opens it.

Reaches inside.

It's a little fence!

How cute is this?

Go and put it by the sheep Madeline.  Rose tells her.

They put the little fence down.

This nativity scene is coming along nicely.

 

Advent 2021 - Day Three

Kiwi Sindy joins Wren and friends to open up the Advent Calendar today.

Kiwi Sindy tells Wren that it is a bit high and she can't reach.

Wren is sure they can work something out.

Kiwi Sindy balances precariously on a chair...Rose looks on slightly bemused, wondering why they didn't ask her for help!

Kiwi Sindy manages to reach inside for the little gift.

She sits down on the chair, feeling ever so slightly shaken up after her harrowing balancing act.

I wonder what this is?

It's a feeding trough!  Wren kneels down in front of it to watch the little sheep see whether there is any food in the trough.

Very cute.

Kiwi Sindy is still taking it easy sitting down, and Rose is rather bemused that they didn't ask her for help.

Advent 2021 - Day Two

Wren and Nancy have been joined by Rose and Hazel for the second day of the Advent Calendar opening.

It is your turn today Nancy.  Wren tells her.

Wren lifts up Nancy so she can reach.

Nancy opens the little window.

A sheep!  Wren is thrilled that they have a sheep.

Nancy thinks the sheep is pretty cool too.

She puts the sheep with Mary.

What a lovely start.

 

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:

I call my Skipper a Vintage Sindy by mistake!
