Tiny Rag Doll Swap Received.

Back in September I wrote about a Tiny Rag Doll Swap I was doing with a friend in the USA.  Well there was a lot of excitement at Rose Cottage this afternoon as the Tiny Rag Doll Village welcomed a newcomer to their midst.


Miss Edie Brooks, Audrey, Clipper and Lucy were very interested in the parcel, but briefly posed for a photo of them with it.


A package full of goodies!


I had such fun unwrapping all the little tissue packages.


Just look at all these wonderful items!

A stunning TRD, her wardrobe, some yarn, hemostats, which will be very useful for turning and stuffing tiny things.  A journal, which I am sure will be continued.  I will have to take another photo of this as I forgot!


The girls wait patiently behind so as not to overwhelm her.


Her name is Petunia Creek - she came with the name Petunia, and she told me her surname was Creek after where she was 'born' at  "On Bay Creek".  I just love her hat, I have long admired Dawn's hats she makes for her TRD, so was absolutely thrilled to receive one with Petunia.  Look at her fabulous skirt as well.  Isn't it just perfect?


Just look at this wonderful wardrobe.  Beautiful hand dyed items.  So exciting!  I just love it all.


Clipper even got a little parcel.


A cute little crochet top.


She thinks it will go perfectly with her polka dot skirt.


It does!


Not sure what happened to Lucy and Audrey...I think they must have been admiring all the goodies and planning what is going to be made with the wonderful yarn...little do they know some of it is already earmarked for a project.


Clipper couldn't wait to take her out in the garden.


So rushed in fact was Clipper, she didn't realise her skirt was all 'wonky'!  


They take a walk down to the pond to see if they can spot any wildlife.  None was to be seen, so they wandered on.


They admired the roses that are still valiantly blooming despite the very changeable wet and windy weather.



Thank you for the wonderful swap Dawn, I feel very lucky to have been able to share this experience with you, and even luckier to have one of your special dolls.  I will treasure her for always.

A Couple of Outings.

The weather has been fabulous this week, and today and yesterday Martha got to visit a couple of places for the first time.  Today Nancy, Lucy and Rose also came along and they declared the gardens just perfect.


Yesterday Martha enjoyed a walk around Wrest Park, once of our favourite places to visit, as it is relatively close and easy to get to.  She is pleased to be getting out and about a little bit.

Today we visited the Celebration and Dahlia gardens in St Albans.


Martha was delighted to find some pumpkins!


She admired the Dahlias up close and personal.


Sat amongst the flowers


Laid back and relaxed to the hum of bees.


Nancy hasn't been out for a while so she was pleased to get some time in a beautiful garden as well.


Rose and Lucy joined in and had fun too.


Rose thought this Dahlia matched her beautifully, and I think she is quite right!
