The New Bed for The Princess

Hello!

The Princess had been waiting a long time for her bed, patiently sitting on top of all of her mattresses, wondering "What will it be like!" Each day her old bed became a little more wobbly and started to lean a bit too much to the right as one leg bent a bit. "Oh, when will my new bed arrive?"she wondered, this is getting a bit scary up here!"

And finally the day arrived! Her new bed was here! Jimbo was in his glory - all those many boxes to explore and investigate! 

After trial and error, this was his favorite.

We moved it to the living room - what fun!

So while Jimbo played with his box, Jim got to work painting the new bed. The Princess wanted it to be the same color as the old bed - Apple Green - so that it would match the colors in her mattresses and afghan/pillow set. You can see the poor old bed on the couch - it was a good bed but not sturdy enough as it was made from fiber board. Now she had a new wooden bed that could hold all the weight of the bedding plus The Princess!

The new bed was finished.

When it was painted, the dust ruffle back on, the bedding again on the bed, it was beautiful! The Princess was so happy!

The last to be put in place were her lovely crowns that my very talented brother had created for her. Here is her beautiful Formal Crown that she wears for royal occasions , , , , ,

And her wonderful Informal Crown which she proudly wears every day.

Doesn't she look so special now, sitting on her new bed?

After much cooler weather for a few days, we again have a sunny and warm day today here in this part of WI. We have our yearly Good Neighbor Fest here in Middleton, WI this weekend and with rain in the forecast for tomorrow and Saturday I hope that it is only brief showers. Sunday is to be sunny and nice so hope for the best. Rain or no rain there is always a good time with the festival in the park, the craft tents, music and food, the carnival. If you live near us, be sure to check it out!

Hugs,
