Organizing the Castle People


As always, Tuesday was a Josie day. She spent a lot of time with her blocks and her dolls and her Castle People and at the end of the day there was lots to put back. 


Heretofore when she puts the Castle People back in the corner cupboard, they are jumbled in pell mell, and it looks like the aftermath of a particularly heated melee.  

Not this time.

There are two kings and two queens amongst the CP and Josie has given them families. (She has also appropriated the lovely coasters crocheted by my DIL Aileen.)


Maybe Josie thought the little pioneer girl and Indian girl looked lonely amongst all the fancy folk. 


The little Welsh dragon finger puppet (Thank you, Suzie) is leaning down from one of the garden fairy houses (Dianna!) which have long been appropriated to CP use.

As has the little fence, keeping these ladies in...or out, as the case may be.


The blue lady appears to be giving the elderly elf what for . . .

And Captain Hook is now a-horse.

The next time she's here, I'll ask for an explanation of these scenarios.

I'm sure she'll have quite a story to tell.

The Castle People have been such a marvelous gift for Josie and a stimulant for her imagination. It's fun to see her getting more organized with them and giving them families. Did they come from your friend Faye? I'm betting that one day Josie will share their stories with her own little girl and let a new generation take them on.

Almost all of the CP came from Josie's Aunt Faye, John's sister. They have been an ongoing entertainment for all of us.
