Summer School for Raccoon

That Raccoon! He was so busy during the school year with his pranks and naughtiness, that now he has to go to summer school to make up his missed classes. Maria of Pretty Things Ireland blog must have taken pity on him, because she sent him not one but two backpacks for all of his books. See! He has to wear one and carry the other, both full of books!


Thank you, Maria! You helped Raccoon out when he's been feeling a little bit dejected. Awww! Poor Raccoon!


Maria also sent two gorgeous handmade foot rests, both of which have taken up residence in Dad's Dollhouse. See this sweet pink one? It matches the bathroom perfectly and has become Kitty's favorite bed. Isn't that just like a cat?


And this precious blue one is perfect for the master bedroom, that is if anyone can find room to sit on the overcrowded loveseat!


Here are the first things I found when I opened Maria's package: this fun Leprechaun for good luck and a gorgeous bread basket lined with vintage-style fabric. Thank you so much, Maria! I love all of your gifts! They're even more special because they came from you!


Let's see if Raccoon can make it through summer school and stay out of trouble, shall we? Keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer

    Precious gifts from Maria! Racoon is so lucky, he'll be a hit at summer school with his two back packs. Enjoy all your well deserved new treasures.
    Hugs, Drora

    Hi Jennifer,
    I love little Racoon's backpacks, they're perfect for him. I also have one of Maria's backpacks and I really love it!The little footstools look lovely in Dad's dollhouse and I think the pink one makes the perfect place for kitty to make her bed.
    The love seat reminds me a little of the sofa in my house. There's never anywhere for guests to sit, I have too many bears :)
    Thanks for sharing these lovely scenes.
    Hugs

    Wow, Summer School stinks, but it should be nicer with awesome backpacks like that. Could be worse, Raccoon! Maria makes beautiful things! What wonderful presents! Now I have to go check out her blog too. :)

    You know Raccoon is my favourite among your lovely plushies... maybe because he's a little bit naughtier... That poor cutie, has to go to Summer School while everybody else is having fun... but thanks to Maria he can comfort himself looking at his gorgeous backpacks. Congrats on all those lovely minis from Maria, she's such a darling and the things she makes are fantastic.

    Greetings
