The Doll in the Cabinet: Part 2

When we last left Button, she was certain she had seen a dolly about her size in my mom's cabinet of knick-knacks.

And she was right!!

There WAS a doll! A little pilgrim lady and two turkeys! 

Button was immediately fascinated, and tried to start up a conversation with this pretty little Pilgrim lady. The Pilgrim said she couldn't really talk just then, she was at work, but that if Button wanted to come by a little bit later, she would be happy to tell her everything she wanted to know.

 

Button found a rocking horse, and entertained herself with rocking horse rides while she waited. 

Later that night, when the Thanksgiving festivities were all over, the little Pilgrim declared she was off work, and Button invited her to come see her garden!

The little Pilgrim was happy to have a change of scenery (she spent all of her time in that cabinet) and gladly accepted the invitation. The two turkeys followed along, even though they hadn't really been invited. 

The two pixie dolls hung out in Button's garden, chatting about everything. The Pilgrim told Button she wasn't REALLY a Pilgrim, she was a "decorative doll" meaning she stood around and looked pretty on a shelf, and this made sense to Button because she thought she really WAS quite a pretty doll. Though, Button suspected she would get bored just standing around all the time. 

She found out her new friend's name was Amelia, and the two talked late into the night. Far too late for Amelia to have returned to her shelf, so Button invited her to stay over! 

Button let Amelia sleep on the bed in her extra sleeping bag, and Button slept on the floor (Amelia was the guest, you know.)  The turkeys decided they should sleep in the tent too, but the girls disagreed. 

Having put the turkeys back outside, the girls settled in for the night. 

Though, I'm not sure they got a lot of sleep. I heard lots of laughing and I think they stayed up pretty late, telling each other stories and just enjoying having another dolly to talk to. 

The turkeys, however, did not settle in... and seemed none too pleased about being thrown out of the tent.... oh dear....
