Hello there!

Well hello there! How are you? Just stopping by Minuette's shop and picking up some mail. Oh, yes, we've been settling in quite well at the Manor. The pig? Meet Oink...isn't she adorable? Iknow, but I haven't ever owned a piggy before.

I have so much exciting news to tell you! We are going to be able to re0institute our postal system again. There is a lovely little bird who has agreed to carry letters from all the dolls at the Pumpkin Patch. Miss Lisa is so pleased....so she told us to start preparing our letters so they could be delivered. Our little bird hasn't arrived yet, and so we are pretty excited. This means all of the dolls will be able to correspond with each other. It really makes it easier than relying on if Miss Lisa puts us all on the same shelf or table to keep in touch!
I'm heading to the Manor now...maybe you can catch up & meet me there??

Whew- you are quick! Let's take these letters upstairs!

hmm, looks...like an invitation of some sort for Valentine's day Miss Lisa has sent me. I have to get all of the correspondence, so I will have to inform the rest of the dolls in the 'Patch....I'll look at the rest of this later.

Well, thanks for being patient with me. Well, lots has been going on here at Pumpkin Hill. I have had alot to do. The dog? That is Fifi...Minuette thought the poodle should have a French name. I like how she matches my dress. Oink isn't allowed in the house....We've been doing alot to get ready for Valentine's day...do you like my new dress?

Well, what we've been doing...Minuette & I have been trying out new cookie recipes for Valentines' day....

What do you think Minuette? Minuette: I think they are rather small...that's not big enough cookie...

I like them, oops, I guess I had to eat one!

We also all three of us, decided to have tea and discuss our plans for Valentine's day. Maizie was being disagreeable and wanted to eat Strawberry shortcake. She wouldn't try on her new Valentine's day dress...but I guess her red striped shirt would do....

As you can tell, Minuette & I are on a pink and red kic I think I am more of a girly doll than Maizie...& I just like everything to match.
So I've also been overseeing the work that is to begin onthe old dollhouse of MIss Lisa's...where all of us tinies will be living...after all this big house is somewhat small....and Mrs. Woodenhouse might want to move back in soon.........

.
Yeah, those are paint cans and that is a brush Miss Lisa wanted me- ME to pick up with...and just when she had made me a new dress. This house will need more than paint to make it better...is what I told her. hmph....

Maizie has a new bicycle...and isn't it darling? Miss Lisa said she had a bike just like it, only much, much bigger when she was a little girl...and hers wasn't red it was purple....

We have been getting alot of mail from Miss Lisa...Maizie and I are run ragged keeping up...Here I am at Miss Lisa's shop getting a package! Maizie is beginning to make regular trips to the post office box as well.

Even some of the Divas that live in the One Sixth Scale Dollhouse are baking and getting ready for Valentine's day with delicious stuff to eat...Learning to Cook Barbie was packing up this cake in a cake box when I spotter her...I asked Miss Lisa why she was called that...and Miss Lisa just grinned and said, 'Well Dixie, she's still learning to cook!'

(just between you & me, Miss Barbie is a little OLD not to know how to cook! Isn't she like., 50???)

Anyways, the cake looked yummy. I couldn't resist taking a slice for myself when Miss Barbie wasn't looking... But I guess she checked the cake again and found a slice gone...well us Brownies work up an appetite...

Well, that is all the news on me, Maizie, & Minuette. I will update you more later when there is more to tell.
