In preparation for my granddaughter's visit, I have taken the Mystical Rose Cottage that she and I began working on last Summer, off the shelf to get "my part" done before she gets here this Summer!

I put on a thatched roof and, believe me, it was a real learning experience!  I do love the way it turned out.  I also added window boxes and the moss to represent grass.

Inside I put in the electrical and added roof timbers on the ceiling.

I've gathered lots of "stuff" for her, including lots of tiny roses for her to turn into climbers and attach to the exterior.  Can't wait to see what she will do from here!
