Shoes in the Mail!

Oh my goodness, just look at this wonderful little silver shoe that arrived from dear Mrs Staggs! Such loveliness in a tiny silk bag!!! THANK YOU! It will soon find a new home as a very special dollhouse 'seat' in my tiny dollhouse boutique... (More soon!) Also in the mail were these TINY TINY little fairy shoes, (posted about Here) perfect for 'me ladies' bedchamber... A girl can never have enough shoes - no matter the size!

The Day After The 4th!

45020422_e280f27ff3

Goodness we all had such a marvelous time yesterday in MERRYVILLE! After the amazing parade, where Rosa stole the show, (with her decorated wagon and horses,) we women all gathered down by the lake, for fun and gossip. A few of us dipped into Clarice's Sangria a little early and shared some smooth moves with the rest of us... Thank goodness Young Mr. Staggs was there to gather us all together again and keep our behavior in line! The men felt it necessary to huddle at the drugstore, (goodness knows what they were discussing...) but I do think they enjoyed our antics and play in the sand! Last but not least, our Hostess Dear Mrs. Staggs showed us the finer points of lake-fishing, (doesn't she look fetching in her new tarten hat?) catching enough little silver treasures to make us all want more! Oh so delicious... It was indeed a 4th to remember, and everyone left with smiles on their faces, and joy in their hearts!!! (Photos from Flickr)

Patriotic Celebration in Merryville!

Flag2_1

COME ONE COME ALL! MERRYVILLE is having another delightful celebration! Be early and help the children raise the flag - I am told the weather will be perfect, with just a slight breeze to wave the stars and stripes... Come sing with the birds that make Merryville so special...

Young Miss Merryville will lead the parade, gathering up family and friends as she strolls along in her newly purchased boots! Her little brother has been practicing his drums for weeks, being sure he can be heard over the crowds and uniting all those full of energy and spirit!

We have washed our car and trimmed it with flags, (don't tell anyone, but our legs hide boxes of fireworks saved for the evening) Our festival dresses and shirts have been sparkle-cleaned and starched with pride, and we made sure to fold enough PAPER HATs so everyone can celebrate and join in the festivities! Can't wait to see all of you there! HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!

Fresh from Merryville Merchantile

Dscn2961_1
Oh my goodness look what arrived from Merryville today! What a lovely surprize after our enchanting and eventful weekend. Take note of the amazing wrapping with a for-get-me-not tussie-mussie, and vintage postcard with a green silk ribbon. And inside, a wonderful Mama Rabbit with a wee babe in her basket, a pink parasol (no doubt for Mama Rabbits excursions in the sun) a delightful tiny little nest and a peep of a chick, and all of it nestled in green paper grass frosted with tiny roses! I feel so spoiled and gleeful dear Mrs. Staggs. Thank you soooooo much!!!

MERRYVILLE FETE

Well its decided, tomorrow we will take our rose painted Gypsy Wagon pulled by 4 pale grey stallions to Merryville to visit my dear friend Mrs. Staggs. I want to be sure and meet with all of you while I am there, so I am letting you know what I will be wearing so you will have no trouble finding me. I have decided on this lovely gown, with my favorite lilac shoes and rose-trimmed hat, and my Fortuny jacket (just in case the weather turns cold). I found all of these treasures at my favorite little shop downtown, but I left plenty of goodies for the rest of you to choose from! Please join me for a picnic, I will be bringing cucumber sandwiches, and my grandmothers favorite lemon cake to share. Hopefully there will be sunshine so we can ride our paddle-boats, and sing and dance! Yes, it is sure to be the best Easter Fete yet! Looking forward to seeing all of you...
