Christmas 2018 - The Displays.

I will do a photo with all the Sasha girls together before they change out of the their Christmas clothes...but they will stay in situ until the 12th Day.  In the meantime I thought I would post a few photos of the various Christmas displays and decorations we have out this year.  After a very  minimalist Christmas last year, I went completely overboard this year! 

The Sasha girls adorned the dresser in the dining room

As well as the top of my writing bureau.

Tucked under the larger tree in the lounge were Peggy Sue and Clara as well as some of my Sindy dolls.

The other corner with the smaller tree started off like this...

But soon Big Betsy wanted to join in the fun as well as Henry of course.

Nomi also joined the party.

There are also some Sindys under this tree as well.

All good fun!

The Rose Cottage Hitty's also enjoyed decorating their home, and photos can be seen on their blog:

Here and here

Merry Christmas

All at Rose Cottage, wish our lovely friends and followers, and especially those who leave encouraging comments, a very Happy and Merry Christmas.  May you have a lovely time with family and friends, or even if you spend it on your own.  Blessings to all.

Advent 2018 - Day Twenty Four - Christmas Eve!

Hey there Henry.  

Hi Alice.

Have you come to open the last window Henry?

Yes!  All the other girls wanted me to open it today as they said it was only right.

Now where is the last door?

Aha, here it is down here.

Henry bends down to ope the last window.

Out pops a little princess with some accessories.

Hmm....

What do you think those white things are Alice?

No idea Henry!

The little ribbon and bow on the back of the princess.

Henry and Alice admire the scene, but are still stumped by the little white plastic discs.

Henry couldn't find his red shirt, so decided that the green would be okay.

He is wishing for a hair job for Christmas!  As he is almost completely bald at the back, he has to posed rather strategically!  

Advent 2018 - Day Twenty Three

Alice is thrilled she still lives at Rose Cottage, as during the year she was looking for a new home.  She is even more excited to be opening the Advent Calendar.

She searches for the window for today, knowing that there are only two left!

Aha, here it is, she thinks to herself.

Hmmm...what do we have here?

A little sail boat, perfect for the sailors in the family and of course a box to package it up in.

She puts it down on the little scene.

Just by the tree with the others.

Alice poses for her Christmas photo.

She has picked the skiing penguins dress.

Advent 2018 - Day Twenty Two

Maddison is getting another turn with the Calendar, she didn't want to decorate the tree this year, much preferring to see what is inside the calendar.

She finds the door numbered 22 and can't wait to see what is inside.

She sits and looks at the little scene after placing the little skis that she found behind the door.  I have a feeling that she will play with it most of the day.

The little Playmobil people will certainly be well equipped if it snows with a sled and skis!

Advent 2018 - Day Twenty One

As quite a few of the other girls are now busy decorating the Christmas Tree, Molly gets a chance to open another window on the Calendar.

She is excited to see what is inside.

Oh, a little teddy bear and cute little table.

Isn't that cute? 

What fun!

Advent 2018 - Day Twenty

Sindy comes across the Sashas' Advent Calendar.

She is astonished at how big it is, but thought she would quite like to open a window to discover what is inside.

Fortunately the door for today's date is her height.

She pulls out the little package

and discovers a little parrot inside on his perch.

She puts him on the scene.

It is starting to look exciting with all that is going on.

Sindy hopes she doesn't get caught by the Sasha girls, as they are a lot bigger than her!
