An Advent Calendar Opening.

Every year for the past six or so years the 'Children (aka dolls) of Rose Cottage open an Advent Calendar.  The Hittys don't usually take part in this, but this year the three sisters wanted a turn at opening the calendar today...

Hitty Morage suggested to Hitty Mildred and Hitty Madge that they have a turn at opening the Advent Calendar today.  Of course they thought that was a great idea.

They study the Calendar and hope that today's door is not too high up as they didn't fancy having to scale heights like the babies did!

Luckily for them it wasn't and Hitty Madge is given the honours of opening the door.

It is quite a big door so they were rather excited as to what could be inside.

They were delighted to find a Reindeer - although Hitty Mildred looks like something has distracted her in the distance.

They lead the reindeer to the snowy scene and introduce the others.

The reindeer looks quite at home!

A New Year Eve's Swap - Received.

Hitty Madge, Mildred and Morag were thrilled to get a package in the post today.  It was the New Year's Swap gift and had come all the way from Canada.    

The lucky recipient of these wonderful items has been invited to a Time Traveller's Ball for New Year's Eve.  There is a lovely crochet dress, purse and head wear as well as the cute little invitation.

They wonder who they should nominate to wear the outfit and attend the ball.

It was a unanimous decision that Hitty Joyful should attend.  She works tirelessly in the Rose Cottage Tearoom and always remains cheerful.  Plus they were pretty sure the outfit would fit her perfectly. 

Hitty Joyful is of course delighted and immediately tried the outfit on and declared it just perfect!

Thank you Susan K for a wonderful swap package.
