Mini Big Adventure #2

Pyewacket Finds a Treasure


Meep me-up me-up me-up
What is it Pyewacket? Have you found something?
Mew (purrs)
That's a pretty pink cup and saucer. Look at the nice gold spoon too!
Mmmm (purrs)
The bow looks lovely on you.
(purrs) Meep
No, there's nothing in it. Sorry, girl.
Let's go find you some water. But we'll use this cup in the near future.


Does our find look familiar? We have a set just like this from June 2014. Last time Felicity and Rebecca found the treasure on top of a "mountain." Now we have a matching pair. Yay!

This pink demitasse cup, saucer, and spoon are from The Queen's Treasures. It was a favor with purchase at their Neighborhood Toy Store event the other weekend.  See the wrapped favor here.

So glad you stopped! Come again soon!

The Queen's Treasures 2015 C

Road Trip with Friends


Destination: The Queen's Treasures


Home Again!

Haley, Kaya, Kirsten, Lanie, Melody, 2 or more

Hi! We're home!
Are Nonna, Lady T, Etta, and Kyoko coming inside?
Did you have fun?
What did you bring home?
Is that a cat?
(laughing)
Yes, that's Pyewacket. No, they had to get home - company coming for dinner; maybe next time. I have a lot to show you.
Too bad.
Cool!
(giggles) Looks like rascal and Meatloaf are checking out Pye...?
Pyewacket.
Yeah, Pyewacket.
Licorice too.
It's quiet; that's a good sign.
(bag rustling) Here's one for you...and you...and you...and...you. Of course, we're really sharing all of these.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oooo! Neat! Love, love, love! Nice!
(giggles)
And one new purse!
Wow! This is a great collection.
You did a great job choosing for us.
The Queen's Treasures has a large selection of shoes! It was so hard to decide. I pulled the first 5 that caught my eye then saw the bunny slippers and purse. 
I'm looking forward to wearing these.

Who do you think wears which shoes first?

Shhh! These are Gifts

I had to show you the rest of what we got during our visit. Don't tell the others; they are Christmas presents for Kaya, Melody, and Kirsten. The silver dress is for Melody. She kept telling me to check it out, so I know she really likes it.
The Dr. Jane Goodall outfit is for Kirsten. The sweater matches her hair ribbons.

This blanket and coat are for Kaya to use with Butterbrandy.
Okay, (giggles) the pizza is for all of us.  Friday night is pizza night at our house. 
This page of The Queen's Treasures catalog shows the new Little House on the Prairie sets. 
This page shows the Dr. Jane Goodall sets that will be available soon. You can see Etta and Kyoko checking out the set on Living a Doll's Life and Mommy's Doll Club.
These are all the awsom pets. 
When you add one of these to your collection, 10% goes to AWSOM, the Animal Welfare Society of Monroe - a non-profit, no-kill shelter. Cool, right!? 
[Xyra note: The pets are not articulated, so Pyewacket will always be standing. She is sturdy and well made.]

Thank you for sharing this road trip with me. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

See you again soon!

The Queen's Treasures 2015 B

Road Trip with Friends

Destination: The Queen's Treasures


The Adventure Continues

Hi, again! Glad you came back to see more about our trip to The Queen's Treasures. After trying on all the shoes I had pulled, I started really looking around at everything. Pyewacket was always close by. Yes, I know the original Pyewacket is a siamese kitty, but the name really seems to fit and she answers to it.


Outside the Shoe Department

You can find all sorts of furniture at The Queen's' Treasures. It's really sturdy too. I like this loft bed and desk. Pyewacket climbed up easily.
The Victorian Day bed is really pretty. Kaya would love the green bedding.
The fainting couch is very comfy!
Julie was surrounded with puppies. Her day bed has purple bedding. Melody's quilt would look great on it. Pyewacket seemed at ease with all the dogs.
Caroline invited me to tea. She told me all about a spiced friendship tea. Will have to check that out. I did eat one of the tasty cupcakes offered.
The new Little House sets were awesome. The horses are so friendly.

The butter churn is my favorite piece. Not the barrel style Xyra uses at the folk festival, but fun.
Samantha and I talked about the Madison Avenue outfit. She likes it a lot and noticed I was wearing the jacket earlier.
The Salvation Army Doughnut Girl Uniform looks awesome. I wish I had someplace to wear it.
Some of the beds are in little apartments with Murphy beds. Pyewacket liked this one. So did I - it's pink!
I'm not sure why this winter outfit made me think of Shivan and Louisa. Mia likes it and says it's very toasty.
I remember this silver dress from Melody's trip. It's really pretty. Celia looked great in it.
Okay, so this style bed would fit our house better. The girl told me this style is being replaced. I'm not sure how Pyewacket got up to the second bunk, but she looks cute. I think I'd bump my head on these.
Kanani is just as nice as Melody said. She offered me a coconut smoothie while I was checking out the different displays. She offered a chair too, but Pyewacket took it. (giggles)
So I tried out the next bed we found. I really like these bunk beds.
This white gown is pretty. Don't you think so, Pyewacket? (purrs)
Ooo! Neat! So much potential with these pieces.
Here's the Friendship Tea Caroline mentioned.
I think we should take some home.


This is the end of part B. Which display is your favorite? Which outfit was your favorite? Do you think we brought home any outfits?

See you again soon!
